Just hope it isn't early season. I went in 2017 Week 2 and it was the most miserable experience because of the heat. There is not a spot in Bank of America stadium where there is any relief from the sun.
Was also there for that and man, it was HOT. Definitely plan on being back there in 2025. Got a great hookup on seats through my wife’s aunt & uncle who have seats on visitors side 50 yardline a few rows up 😳 -

It’s a fake activism group that I think tries to prove how much people can be manipulated with BS
I have one of the t shirts 😂. “Bird Drones of North America”. It’s supposed to look like a field guide with a bunch of different types of birds, or excuse me, drones…

Don’t forget Martin Nance.
I watched his whole college career in person and was pretty convinced he was going to be a legit NFL player. Might have been if he didn’t tear his knee up unfortunately.-

Agree 100%. If it's too lean it can get gross on the smoker. A couple of years ago I had a few pounds of ground venison. "Make burgers," I said to myself. "Smoked burgers are great!" Boy, was I wrong. Dry, awful, inedible.
I might try this again, now that we have our own grinder. I'll probably just add in some fat during the grinding process and this should correct the issue.
With pork tenderloin (minus the silver skin), as an example, I'll to a dry rub and let sit in the fridge for a few hours. Smoking to temp @225 heat works nicely.
I have a smoked burger that I make that’s really good but have to use 80/20 ground for exactly the reason you mentioned. I bet next time they’ll be much better if you get some extra fat in there.-

Was hoping to do Seattle but don’t think the timing is going to work out. Will most likely do Indy, short trip over from Cbus and have friends there we can stay with.

You can cross of the Titans week 1, they're playing the Bears
Colts is an away game so that’s not going to be week 1 either (wouldn’t have only 1 home game in first 6 weeks)

I’m hoping for a Sunday night home game. That’s the only time slot this year where I’ll be able to make it to a game
I think with the home opponents we have this year, you’ll get your wish. -
4 day rock festival here in Cbus this week:
https://sonictemplefestival.com
I’ll be there every day at some point but Thursday and Sunday will be all day. Friday will just catch a bit of the early afternoon because we’re shooting over to Dayton to catch Brit Floyd.

I’ll get to catch them at this above festival later this week and I have actually seen them in Epcot at Disney World during the Food & Wine festival (we’ve ran the “wine and dine 1/2 marathon a bunch of times). They were great and it was “free”! 😂

I know nothing about this stuff but for someone who does, is it possible the lack of renderings could be due to the overruns and possibility that some of the finishes may not end up being what was originally envisioned?
The “secrecy” on the seating pricing must be some type of marketing strategy but we generally know what types of seating there will be. Seems like some of the interior aesthetics could be changed pretty significantly as the project unfolds and maybe that’s part of the reason they’re holding off? 🤷🏻♂️

The reverse sear aka redneck sous vide is the way to go if you don't already have or want to invest in a sous vide.
https://www.seriouseats.com/reverse-seared-steak-recipe
For thicker cuts reverse sear never fails for me. Actually did a couple filets on Saturday night. Season well ahead of time then roasting rack in the oven at 250 for about 35-40 minutes, flipping once halfway. When it hits 115-120 internal, pat dry with paper towels before searing in a ripping hot cast iron with a touch of avocado oil for about 45 seconds per side. Let it rest and enjoy!-

Dang, I missed a call from my Legends rep on Monday. Called her back and left a message. It's Wednesday and she hasn't called back yet. Was that my call to schedule?
It was probably just the introduction call and general timeframe of when to expect your appointment call. Got mine a few weeks ago and they told me I’d probably be up “towards the end of the year”

Offer fractional ownership (complete with profit sharing for stadium revenue) with the PSLs…
Can we “trade” our PSL for use at a different stadium if our team sucks? -

Buying a minority position in a private company, yeah good luck with that. Depending upon how it is structured you are totally at the whim of the Pegulas, they dont want to distribute profits/cash flow, your 25% is worthless until they decide to sell out or offer you to sell you an incremental 26% for a controlling interest.
Without knowing the bolded part it’s pretty tough to make an informed assessment.-

For anyone that’s gone through the stadium experience, are the Founder’s, East / West, and Sideline clubs the only “premium” seating options being presented?
I know there will be many more price points for the “regular” seats than in the current stadium, but during the big season ticket holder survey a while back I kind of remember their being discussion of perhaps 10+ different “types” of seating options, all with varying levels of amenities.
Just curious if maybe some of that has been scrapped (due to cost overruns) and we’re looking at more of an apples to apples comparison on seating options compared to the current stadium. Or maybe there’s going to be varying levels of amenities within the “regular” seats that haven’t even been presented yet since it’s all been club at this point?
Just thinking out loud, any info or insights would be appreciated!

if they are the same seat (i.e. the same view location) even at 54 feet closer in the best case scenario, 54 feet is just over the depth of 2 parking spaces end to end.... and you're paying double.
to my point earlier, they're just generating demand by having less seats available and increasing all the ***** that shouldn't matter in a football game because 1/2 of the game requires entertainment during commercials.
new stadiums are flagrant fleecing of communities and fans to line the owners pockets.... like the food is going to be any cheaper at the new stadium because of gained efficiencies or anything? lmao.
I wish our fan base told the owners "no to a new stadium" and they would've then said " no to a superbowl ring for you!" hopefully this buys our fanbase a championship.
There would be “no” team without a new stadium

It feels like a small win. I was thinking that it was going to be $20k per but holding out worked. They called immediately. We moved to the next section over. We saved $10k in license fees and like $1k in tickets annually. My brother did too because we are together.
Someone had asked on the payment structure too. It is 20% today and then the rest is divided evenly until December 1, 2026 (interest free).
Do you mind sharing what the annual cost per seat was? I’m guessing by the time it’s my turn there won’t be any club seats left but if there are I might consider it (feel free to PM me) -

And Kelly was hurt. Belief was low. We often forget how small/stretched the local ticket market really is for Buffalo, compared to other NFL cities, and especially with respect to affluence. Also, I'm not sure traveling NFL tourism was much of a thing yet.
Green Bay's small market solidarity is a solid counter to this line of thinking (they would never have an un-sold-out home playoff game), but there is an old school, generational loyalty and exclusivity to those seats in that community that I'm sure limits how many opposing fans sneak into Lambeau for a given game.
FATIGUE/FRUSTRATION was a real thing in this 90s example, as it has become again the last two seasons in Orchard Park. 2022 was STRESSFUL in that stadium, and the weather was hilariously bad when compared to every other effing day during each week. From Halloween weekend on the vibe was WAY off. Which was partially influenced by Vikings, Steelers, Packers, and Bengals fans being loud enough to make a difference. That never happened in the 90s run, that I recall.
I'd guess that continued price hikes have something to do with the increase in out-of-town fans. Eventually one has to orchestrate a time-share or sublet arrangement to make the financials work. I'm sure the majority of lower bowl seats behind the visiting bench at this point are renewed primarily for profit. Just wish more fans would look for ways to geographically limit WHO buys their seats on the secondary markets and/or seek buyers more privately/locally.
The “opposing fan” influence the past 5 years is nowhere even close to what it was during those 2006ish-2017ish years. My seasons are in section 109 and every week was like being at a different away game. It sucked -

I am glad for it.
Half the field was under par after one round; that shouldn't be the case at the Masters, imo.
I don't mind some scoring at the Masters, I like seeing them battle it out. If it was the US Open I’d agree. -

For what it's worth, I got a call yesterday from my season ticket rep, who offered to answer any questions I have.
I have season tickets in the lower bowl, Bills side, about the 47-yard line, 31 rows up. Pretty great seats. Seniority going back to 1977.
He told me my invitation to the Experience would probably not come until the early Fall, but couldn't really predict it. I was hearing summer a little while back, but it sounds like it's being pushed back a bit. He said it could still be pushed back more, he just wasn't sure.
Wouldn't tell me anything about PSL pricing, just that I would have the opportunity to get seats "comparable" to what I currently have, which I highly doubt.
We'll see...
I’m in section 109 (away side, non tunnel end around the 20). I got my call on Monday and was told “closer to the end of the year” for my turn. Didn’t bother asking about pricing but sounded like once I got my notification I would have a 3 week window to schedule. Told her I would ideally schedule the same weekend as a home game since I live in Ohio and travel up for games and she said they could probably even squeeze me in on a weekend if needed.

We have a place about 30 minutes from West Glacier (Whitefish). If I’m still alive, I’ll be there 😂 -
Short totality here (my house was just barely inside the zone) but it was awesome. Skies were clear so had a great view of it which helped offset the short duration

Do you pay less attention to the Bills in the offseason now that the team is good?

I still obviously follow all the big storylines as well but I agree I’m less neurotic about it compared to the drought years. The draft used to be like our superbowl because it seemed like the only hope. I’d pretty much watch the entirety of it and would always catch each of our picks. This year I’m not sure I even saw a single Bills pick “live”. I much prefer this new way.
