To salvage something out of it, I’d take a seam ripper to the BILLS wordmark. (I’ve never been a fan of those things anyway.) It looks like there’s no NFL shield on the collar either? Can order a patch one on the eBay and iron on and sew. I learned how to use the sewing machine during COVID times and have done customizing on a fair few Red Sox jerseys (ordered the name letters & numbers on eBay from a guy who uses the exact team font and I assume it’s done with a Cricut machine?), a Kelly era jersey whose vinyl numbers peeled, etc. I also do the odd repair to clothing, dog toys, and other items; hey it saves money.

Well… consolation is that if he does develop into a decent player history shows that the Sabres will trade him for some hot dog water, whereupon he has a relatively high chance to soon win a Stanley Cup.

Right. Also possible use for situations like lightning in the area. Seen that in college football several times. Also for kids / fan zone experience, and staging area for concerts, etc. Since the stadium will be grass, they may want to be keeping people off of it as much as possible. Frankly, I think the real grass will last maybe five seasons before there’s either a choice or league pressure to switch to artificial turf. OP is not Green Bay.

Shouldn’t this be in the Stadium Construction thread? I hadn’t remembered from any renders but it kinda looks like there’s going to be a catwalk going around the whole stadium just beneath the canopy where the metal sheets are? Or was that just the angle from down on the field?

Does Terry not see just how badly run this franchise is? He needs to sell or bring in someone experienced who gets total control. Terrible. Terrible.

Some of the strike zone calls this year have even Angel Hernandez like 🤨. Truly egregious. And if you complain you get tossed by the guy? The challenge system seemed to work in the preseason and then it was scrapped for further study or whatever and Manfred is now hinting it will be in place next year. I say bring on the robo-umps! The Hawkeye system can make split second calls in tennis for the past 10 years. No reason they can’t make it work for baseball. 🖕the umpire union protecting these thin skinned pigs. I watch or listen on radio to a fair amount of Red Sox games.

Too expensive.

Can’t say I’m a fan of when jersey designs cross thresholds into other sports. Hard pass for me. Only Bills jersey reveal I want to see is a Kelly-era throwback set as the “alternate” for the final year in the stadium. So far there is NO word on this. Which is a damn shame.

He did much more than just flash it. There’s video. https://nypost.com/2022/10/01/antonio-brown-goes-on-twitter-rant-after-exposing-himself-in-dubai-hotel-pool/ I’m surprised he was allowed to leave UAE with his ding-a-ling still attached.

Eventually there’s going to be an incident he doesn’t slither his way out of. There have been MANY for this scumbag.

Or Dumb & Dumberer. Oof, that was downright painful, and really tarnished the original for me. Anchorman 2 after the opening scene was an extremely hard cringe too. 😬

Agreed on the streaming and such where you can pretty much see whatever you want these days. Time was not very very long ago that my Bills fandom was reading the score & recap in the Monday newspaper. That said, there’s PLENTY to dislike about the modern flow & speed of information, coming from all corners. The human mind wasn’t built to hear about all the bad things that happen everywhere every day. Goldendoodles. Love my Ace. He’s perfect.

He’s just there for the hors d’oeuvres.

There is a workaround that they use for events there. Basically, very large blackout curtains. But Jerrah, for whatever reason, doesn’t allow them to be used during Cowboys games. 🤷‍♂️

Gotta live for these glimmer moments in the sea of modern No Good, Terrible, Bad News times. 👍

From the FB page of “Rochester Bills Fans” today. Looks like side girders that the wind confusion panels will be attached to are starting to be installed.

Story with some video of the field area, etc. Reports that the stadium will not be completed until about December 2026, but should be ready for occupancy for fans in June 2026 at ~90% completion. WGRZ report

UniWatch article said it was confirmed that the blue helmet with skyline is NOT part of the Rivalry set. It was just a marketing prop for the Verizon announcement.

Yes. Per UniWatch, it will be worn in one home game this upcoming season. TBA which game. Uni Watch article

Might come in handy if/when the truth comes out on Ohtani. Currently, we’re supposed to believe that his interpreter racked up $5M in betting debts, that bookies kept taking bets from a guy making an interpreter’s salary… and Ohtani, out of the kindness of his heart, paid it all. OK 🙄.

To be fair to Einstein, he was saying that some people in the thread are expecting something that. Not that he is expecting it. Seats that are in that area of the stadium, given that it’s going to be exposed to the brutal winters, are not going to be deluxe & plush. That’s what you go with when you don’t have a dome of any kind. Folks wanting something cushy for their tushy are going to have to bring their own seat cushions.

There’s a dedicated stadium construction thread. I just posted the YouTube video to it. Can a mod please merge this into there? @Simon?

First seats installed and the family who bought the seasons’ & PSLs were invited to try them out.
