"The Money" Where did "The Money" go asks the OP. The stadium was projected to cost 1.4 Billion. It got expensive and wound up costing 2.2 Billion. The Pegulas Buffalo Bills PAID THE COST OVERRUNS! All 800 Million dollars of it. I think that should be mentioned, don't you? Are we arguing that they swindled themselves? Also, The Pegulas Bills are paying to demolish the old stadium. Every penny of that too. Grrrr

This is a really great read. Thank you!

And I could turn that place into a cash cow! Big time.

OP has never been there, has he? So what the hell is he talking about is my question. That too is a fair question, that I am raising!

I think our defense has been boring in a sense. They load the defense and load the defense each draft and each year the defense is on the boring side to watch. There has not been the sense that the defense is gonna get you that we have had for our offense. We know the offense is gonna get you. EVERYBODY knows our offense is gonna get them. For our defense we hope they will play well enough so as not to Lose The Game for us. If that changes I think our fate will change.

Thank very much for writing all that up! On the sound. I saw a video about that system. It's very elaborate. They have a great deal of control. My guess is, it was bad because they haven't been able to tune it to sound good with a crowd of people inside. My bet is it will get lots better. And then maybe someone will come back and grumble at the people who said it sounds bad. 😆 Thats just my (educated) guess though.

Me too. I hate heights. I went to a Sabers game in the upper deck and the view was good but I spent half the game being scared of the steep steep drop! It's nonsense but I feel like I might fall. I can't help it. I'd pay extra not to sit up in 400!😆

I'll kind of miss the solidarity feeling of the Billa Army group dangle.

I don't know. What do I know? But I'd guess it is harder to do that because in Buffalo you can actually get 7 feet of snow!! The roof would come down unless it was engineered to be crazy strong. Tottenham doesn't have to worry about that! My idea was to do it like the Romans did, which was they could roll up the overhangs, more or less. The downside would be when it snowed, you'd have to roll the roof up and the people would get snowed on. But people are used to that, at least me, but I wouldn't get rained on which is uncomfortable for me.

😍 You had some great seats!!

Is that the brand you use? Do they sell Bills themed ones? Thanks and I appreciate your recommendation sir! I'm just not there yet but I will remember it if / when the time comes for me too. Much appreciated and thanks again!

Great story thanks Shaw. It's right up my alley because over time I've got tired of head coaches seemingly always being chosen because they are good talkers. Good talkers in the interviews. Good talkers to the owners. Good talkers to the press. Good talkers to the fans. When maybe 1 in 10 football coaches can talk like that and in my mind that means you have only a 1 in 10 chance of picking the best coach. A head coach needs to be able to communicate with his players and his coaches and they don't need a polished talker! I like hearing this about the Bills hiring a a guy who can't impress everybody with his speech but who knows football inside and out! Hooray!! Gives me hope. A guy like that has only winning to prove himself. So you can bet your ass he's going to focus on that, says I.

The thing I want to know most about the new stadium is how fast I can get to pee and back. I'm an odd person I admit upfront to save you having to type that to me! I never make it through a game without having to go at least once and halftime is a zoo so I've always tried to time it just right during the games to not miss anything One of the things I hate worst in life is to hear the whole stadium erupt in a roaring cheer when I'm in the tunnel and can't see a thing!! I have trauma from that!😩 I'm freaking out a little bit just thinking about those times now. So that's what I care about most of all. How fast I can get to pee and back. Gourmet snacks, wifi, colorful scoreboards, seats covered or not, artwork, any of the fancy stuff, I'd trade it all to be able to get to the bathroom and back during a TV commercial break! So if anybody wants to tell me about that I'd sure appreciate it!

My artistic impression of the helmet begins with we have a Buffalo helmet, without a buffalo on it. We have just "the stripe" but it seems to me to stop short. It stops halfway! And then it ends in I don't know what that shape is. It's not a buffalo horn. I'm not just being a prick here but there's something off about it and what I feel from it is the vibrant half stripe symbolizes the Bills mostly dominating opponents all season, then the weird shape it ends in symbolizes the nonsensical, usually very odd happenings that get them knocked out of the playoffs in last-minute bizarre ways! So looking at it that way, it does kind of fit.

The main vibe I get from the jersey is "inexpensive". Fewer colors, simpler design, cheaper to make.
