I am not arguing it’s not a thing; I am saying it’s not a big a deal as you’re suggesting. Yes I think players consider Buffalo’s climate. They also consider its size, entertainment options, housing, schools, taxes, etc. all of which could negatively affect their decision. They’re still able to lure marquee players from the South from time to time. They’re able to re-sign their drafted players.

good thing they rarely have 50% bad weather games in any given season. Demoralizing? They’re highly paid professionals.

there are some players that would prefer to play in other cities besides Buffalo too, dome or no dome. And yet, they somehow remain good. You’re grossly exaggerating.

Both teams play on the same field in the same weather. there is no “disadvantage” for one.

I think communal areas like concourse bars and family zones are very possible in the new Bills stadium.

if they sell the place out (which they will, at least for a while) who really cares? what exactly are these recent improvements to Rodgers Center that supposedly help draw casual fans? You mentioned new and expanded food offerings, which the Bills’ new stadium most certainly will also have. What are the others?

I am certainly not defending the way stadiums are funded in this country. But the Bills were not getting another long term lease on the current stadium. The league made clear it was time for them to get something done on a new build. A roof would probably have helped the team’s offense as it’s currently constructed. But roof/no roof doesn’t mean much to me personally as a fan. I am outside for hours before the game anyways.

We are getting a brand new building to watch the team in. We are getting a new long term lease, providing some security that the team stays put for at least a reasonable amount of years into the future. Not enough? Stay home.

I am acting like not every detail about this place has not been released yet, because they haven’t. We have some artistic renderings and a couple of short blurbs in news coverage. A roof is certainly a practical upgrade, one they decided not to include. What I was asking is does that fact negate all the other potential new practical improvements and convenience features this new building may include? Because it sounds like it does for you.

So it’s just about the no roof then.

You think this new building will have nothing in the way of practical upgrades?

I am on board with trying it. He has the measurables for the position.

Again, it ain’t that serious. Study was the wrong word to use in the tweet. From an older report: ”BACtrack is a company which develops smartphone breathalyzers. The company used this technology to anonymously collect BAC data from users of BACtrack Mobileduring game days up until October 26.”

BACtrack makes handheld consumer breathalyzers that use companion mobile apps. I cannot find a link to this past season’s “study” but a quick search shows they’ve been putting out these reports annually going back to 2015 at least. I’m 99% sure they just used their app and location data to make their determinations. It’s not a “study” in anything close to an academic sense, and I don’t think it’s meant to be taken all that seriously. most BACtrack devices cost less than $100.

I hope this is parody.

I think he just brought up Jones because it has been reported this past week Jones wants $45mil a year or something insane like that. I don’t think he was equating Jackson to DJ.

it’s just a football stadium. Whether it be this design or a fancy all-glass cube like Minnesota’s it ain’t making that big a difference to the city.

whatever they lay out themselves, 40% or whatever is passed along to fans in the form of PSLs. So real money they make it all back. cutting edge wind confusion technology. That s*** ain’t cheap.

Facade looks pretty cool. Why are some people still hoping for a dome? Did I miss something? I thought they made it abundantly clear innumerable times there will be no dome.

running the ball at that volume gets you nowhere though. And it ain’t 4 years ago he has worn a lot of tread off those tires.

I don’t know, just on a surface level ATL appears to be run-oriented, with a (potentially) star TE, same as he had in Baltimore. Of course they would have to go even further and tailor their offensive scheme towards Jackson. But it may work?

ocho is a weird cat, but always liked him. Was he bringing women back to the stadium at night?

no argument here. Beane certainly needs to draft better than recent seasons.

we bought Von and that was working until he got hurt.

well that’s disconcerting.
