Oh why not. -
Questions Surrounding a New Stadium in OP .
PromoTheRobot replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall
Building a roof that only hangs over the stands is just as tricky as building a complete roof. Maybe more so. It's not the square footage of the cover, it's how you hold it up and what stresses it has to deal with. -
Let's just say WGR better hope I never hit the Powerball.

But the debate here is weather football was meant to be played in the dead of winter. Originally it wasn't. It took the pro game and it's pursuit of the mighty $$$ to make it happen. So it's definitely played in the ice and cold, but wasn't necessarily mean to be played in that. -

Anyone mention Kettle's Korner on Abbot Rd? Two long blocks north of Southwestern. -

And they were always played in warm weather locations. And it's fine to say football is an outdoor game as long as you acknowledge that until the NFL came along, they didn't play those outdoor games past November. -
I can't be 100% certain. But the fact ticket prices crashed is partly due to Pats fans not travelling to this game. Maybe the cheap prices convinced a few to go. We'll see.

WHLD is mostly satellite programming. That isn't going to do anything. WNSA put a decent dent into WGR. What killed them off was owner John Rigas going to jail.
-
He practically does that now. WGR let's him work from home using an AoIP link. But when you've been on the air for 30 years you get those concessions.

Fans will show up. The stadium will be full Saturday. It's just some will have paid less for their tickets. What you won't see are any Patriots fans, which is kind of nice.

The problem is creating a REAL competitor to WGR would cost more than any of the usual broadcast companies in Buffalo are willing to spend. But I am convinced a new sports station in Buffalo, one that does more than throw ESPN or Fox Sports on off a satellite, would do great.

Inertia. Doing a job forever with little or no competition.

How do you look at those empty corners and think it's full? Talk about denial.
-
Here the thing though. No one has priced exactly what a dome would cost. But we do know that an open air stadium with heated grass field, heated seats and a canopy over all seating areas is expected to run $1.4B. Why not have some designs done of both and compare?

Buffalo State Comm majors.

Just make sure they are either Sahlen's or Zweigle's.

Dr. Andrew Cappuccino, the guy who saved Bills TE Kevin Everett, is the Sabres consultant. He's one of the doctors that developed the ADR procedure Eichel wanted so bad. He also performed more ADR surgeries than any other surgeon. So the guy has some credibility on the matter. He felt that the procedure is too risky for NHL players who could get slammed head-first into the boards.

I just checked. They close at 9pm now. But you were right. They used to be open 24/7.
