    Then a boat. Or putting a pool and patio with kitchen in your yard. Or maybe a second "hobby" car, like a Vette or some classic car. Or if youre me and really into cycling, a pro-level road bike ($12-$14K). 

     

    A PSL is no different than stuff like the above in that its part of the "cost" of the thing that one enjoys for recreation. And if youre one of those folks who make going to Bills games in OP a priority in your life for fun and rec time with friends and family, this is the current price of participation in 2024. Thats not to sound callous...it sucks that so many things have gotten expensive. 

     

     

    to most people a car is a necessity. The other things along with Bills games are hobby's and luxury's.

    Not to be an ass, but if you can't afford this and pay for it over 30 years, how do people afford vehicles, where you end up paying way more than the sticker? And the other ass part: if the people of Buffalo won't buy the tickets, others will. I could see myself getting a 4 pack when the locals drop from the list, if they even do. 

     

    I really don't see the Bills having an issue selling every PSL. In fact, the very people who can't afford the PSLs are the very same people who smash tables and get ***** faced before kickoff. They want a cleaner, family-friendly experience which generates more revenue; that's how you cash in.

    Purchasing a football ticket and a car is not a good comparison.

    I really dislike that they passed this without trying it for a year in the pre-season first, like have done with MANY other rules. If players, coaches, fans, etc hate it... why keep it? 

     

    We may all love it but at the end, all of the rule changes coming are harming the game. 

    I think it's a one year thing and looked at after next season

    Interesting. If he accepts, that would be an interesting move by the Phins. He was OK for Baltimore and would give Tua that extra "out" target that Odel is so good at. Nothing crazyu to see here but found it interesting as the Phins are trying this off season.

    you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means

    Sooo the focus of this thread really shifted from the original dirt, concrete, and steel that’s in the thread title to PSLs and ticket prices.
     

    Might it be best to create a separate thread for these and other Bills PSL & ticket & the stadium experience store concerns? Bc I keep clicking on this to see any construction updates only to find another page full of the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth about how it’s going to be too expensive for average Buffalo fans and everything is going to change.

     

    I just wanna see life size Tonka-type and cement trucks, cranes, and steel here. Please.

    there is

    I love that the most expensive seats in the house are not heated or protected from the elements.  Get ready to see those seats empty as the folks will be inside warming up and slamming down free food and drink for 3 hours while they watch the game on a monitor. 
     

    It will look awful on TV. 

    what am I missing? How can you see the field from that location?

    Many of the Bills first round picks after the AFL/NFL merger in 1966, held out ... starting out with OJ Simpson, first pick in the 1969,  Cousineau, #1 pick in 1979, and Bruce Smith, the #1 pick in the 1985 draft.   Cousineau played in the CFL until the Bills' rights expired and allowed him to sign with the Browns.   Kelly chose to play in the USFL and finally signed after the USFL folded.   The primary reason for all of these hold-outs was money first and the Bills organization second since the Bills were largely uncompetive for most of the 1970s as well as in the 1980s after Chuck Knox departed and before Marv Levy was hired as HC.

     

    Bruce was signed before the draft started. He didn't hold out
