[Bills release new stadium renderings]

Initial impressions and I know the renderings can change:

-kind of boring actually.  It feels like we’ve seen this before in the rendering leaks 

-Jumbotron seems basic and has a lot of dead space around it 

-what’s the point of the 3 tiers between the lower and upper deck?  Why break it up?  Are those all in front of 3 rows of box seats?

-Whats happening in the far endzone corners?  Is that for the standing room?  Seems like it makes for some poor sight lines for some of the seats 

-I’m happy they didn’t follow Jacksonvilles lower bowl layout.  It’s terrible 

-I am more worried than before about PSL pricing.  We know lower bowl will be tough, but with so many seats in front of box seats, it might be upper deck or bust for the causal fan 

-that canopy really doesn’t look like it will protect much 

-very curious to see what that concourses will look like 

Looks nice but I a disappointed that the seating has been significantly reduced.  It will be harder and more expensive to get a ticket.  Getting an NFL experience will be a more exclusive club.   

[Happy 97th Birthday Marv Levy]

Marv sent a get well note to a buddy from high school who was struggling with cancer.  It meant so much to him and was so encouraging.  

 

He sent me a note while I was deployed with the Marines after 9/11.  John Butler told me that if there was a hall of fame for wonderful people he would be in that as well.     

 

We can all learn much from this man about being a decent person.
