    As far as the new stadium goes all I want....

     

    1. good sight lines

    2. I don't want wind (as much as you can control)  

    2.5  I don't like getting sunburnt either.  Maybe a Seahawks type of volume reflecting roof.

    3.  I just need to pee and get back to my seat.   Don't need fancy bathrooms just space.

    4.  I always thought it would be cool if they had a hill that people outside the stadium could see down in.  Imagine the atmosphere with 10,000 more people out in the "Bull Pen" going nuts watching down.  Ice slides and snow sculptures.  Sponsored by Labatt's Ice.   (I think I'm on to something)

     

    They do have "Tightwad Hill" for Cal Bears games

    How does the entire region feel today? Pretty darn good I imagine. I don't want this feeling to disappear and instead happen in Austin or Toronto, while the name Buffalo disappears from peoples minds. The Bills are our identity, our claim to fame. With the Bills, the city of Buffalo's name is evoked millions of times a day, from the media and fans. Certainly billions of times a year. The Bills PSL's costs are reasonable (To those who make decent money), and a good good investment. EVERY team is pro sports does this. Why should Buffalo be any different? Our tickets will remain the cheapest in the NFL. And all this talk of a Dome preference in Buffalo is utter nonsense. The Bills are like the Packers, the Bears, Denver, New England. The weather is what sets us apart, it's a HUGE advantage. Only one team with a Dome (New Orleans) has won a Super Bowl. With a Dome, the Bills become just another team like the Falcons, or the Vikings, or Lions. Antiseptic, arena football. I hate watching games in Dome, it cheapens the games legacy. You think that Ravens 66 yard field goal happens yesterday if played outside? No way. It's Football in a TV Studio. Which is exactly what ScoFi stadium is. You can't even see the fans during the action at ScoFi. Let's ensure that the region continues to have these great Monday morning's, (And even the let downs) for decades to come!! Get behind the PSL. (BTW, to those who say what about the recognition from the Sabers? Get real. Nationally Hockey is almost invisible. Last years Stanley Cups ratings were actually worse than women's Golf ratings).

    I doubt that was the main reason. Probably access to land was the big one.

    In 1996, the City of San Francisco had a vote for the residents to allow the city to build a new mall and football stadium at the Candlestick Site. It passed. Some council members fought the vote the residents approved. The 49ers got sick of waiting, and built their facilities in Santa Clara. Then they just went ahead and built Levi's Stadium at the same site. Got tired of the infighting and waiting. Kinda like the same thing going on with the A's in Oakland.

    I imagine the Bills dont want to have their practice field and facilities miles away from their stadium.  For logistical reasons keeping it in OP actually makes a lot of sense.

     

    Why do you think the 49ers moved to Santa Clara? That's where the teams practice facilities and offices were. The players used to drive to Santa Clara, and there would be a bus convoy up the 101 to Candlestick. Passed it many times on a Sunday evening.
