With that logic why not limit seating to 30,000? It’s a balancing act just like it is for other businesses that rely on seating….like restaurants, movie theaters, etc

With very exceptions the days of super large stadiums have pretty much gone extinct. The movement is towards a better experience with a smaller capacity. And that’s all because of the television contracts you cite. This isn’t difficult to understand.

I’m not sure I agree. The price of tickets is more related to the price people are willing to pay for them than it is to the price of the stadium itself. I mean what’s to keep the Bills from raising prices now, in the ‘old’ stadium? It’s not like there’s another place that a WNY fan can go see an NFL game. And what good does it do the team to play in an empty new stadium?

It’ll be a significant improvement over the current stadium as the end zones aren’t open. The entire new stadium is taller and much more enclosed.

It’s all about sight lines, not distance.

The new ones will be steeper. They’re encircling the stadium with a tighter diameter. Not this again. Just like the sun casts a shadow that isn’t straight down so does the roof cast a rain or snow ‘shadow’. So while one side will see rain hit the first few rows that are technically under the cover on one side, the other side will receive the equivalent but opposite benefit. Choose your seats accordingly. 👍

Augie, the upper decks in every arena are generally steeper so as to ensure good sight lines. They get progressively steeper the higher up you go. If not, the stadium cross section becomes very shallow and wide…like the Rose Bowl if you’ve ever been.

All of this back and forth and nobody has commented on the roof covering shown in this cross section. Shame on you all!

Not trying to be snarky but who do you think determines the sentencing terms and limits we have now? If not the government, then who?

And it was yet another late game strategic blunder. You’re absolutely correct on the deep pass to Diggs. Once that didn’t work they needed to simply keep the ball. They have the ideal QB to do just that. Pick up eight yards on downs 1 through 3 and let him sneak the final six feet. But do NOT put your depleted defense back on the field. You may be right. I sure hope not, for our sakes.

So if you know that, and I know that, and everyone knows that, can you explain why our coaching staff goes for the deep ball to Shakir instead of methodically controlling the ball, taking four downs to pick up 10.1 yards and keeping your undermanned defense on the bench? It’s still a real head scratcher to me. The Bills worked the ENTIRE season to be right they were late in the fourth quarter, at home, in the playoffs, against the Chiefs…and then….you know the rest.

Understood, but I think you’ll admit this is far from being one of the biggest problems many in our society face on a daily basis.

This has been hashed and rehashed in countless threads since we were eliminated. In the end it came down to the same fatal flaw that doomed the 49ers on Sunday. You simply cannot give the ball back to Mahomes when he knows what he needs to win the game. The 49ers shouldn’t have kicked the field goal and neither should’ve the Bills attempted one. But sadly….we never seem to learn.

That’s a lot of words to say you want the government to impose significant limitations on gun ownership. You’ll notice I’ve not said that I’m either for or against it. I’m just personally exhausted from the social media driven ‘jump to conclusions’ crowd.

Excellent write up! Seriously Only one question: Does anybody know if Bo’s teammates went to his birthday party? 😉

An excellent point ….and if you read through my posts in this thread you’ll find I’ve advocated for one thing, and one thing only: That everyone needs to simmer down, show some respect for those who were hurt or killed, and to wait to learn more about what actually happened before rushing in to solve a virtual cornucopia of society’s problems. Instead, I’ve read that this sad incident should be the launching point to fix student debt, the nuclear family, assault weapons, the second amendment in general, and yes mental health.

I find it interesting that you consider people not being able to pay off a loan they freely took out for a higher education to be an example of life being hard. Really? That’s your example?

And you, like many on here, are anxious to solve the problem of this shooting TONIGHT before even understanding what happened.

And this applies to this topic, how exactly?

Yes I’m sure right. It’s always way better to write and pass legislation before the facts have been gathered by the authorities.

Dude! I have no agenda. Simmer down.

I’m simply asking people to settle down and at least respect the seriousness of the situation for let’s say 24 hours before you and others start debating the Second Amendment. Does that not sound reasonable? Feel free to respond with the F Bomb….again.

Go ahead and make a guess. Everyone else on here is. 👍

Nice response. Classy

And you’ve already determined what happened in KC today? Okie Dokie! Be sure to inform the authorities.
