BRAWNDO Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Will it be close to the Bass Pro Shop? No but the New Peace Bridge will exit right next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocLawless Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Hmmm, I feel kind of torn right now. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the idea of knowing that the team would def remain in Buffalo and that we would have an up to date stadium, which in turn makes us a more serious franchise and one that is serious about winning. My only problem is the retractable roof. I may be part of the minority, but I really love winter games at the ralph with the snow falling and the cold air. It just feels like old school bills football to me and it has played to our advantage (more so during the 90's) but still. Anyone else kind of feel that way?

metzelaars_lives Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Legitimate question- even though this will never happen, but let us dream for a second- let's say the Bills are good someday, I don't know, 15, 20 years from now, what percentage of Bills fans would want them to close the roof for a meaningful game on a 30 degree December day with flurries? I wish they would just build a regular outdoor stadium on the waterfront with real grass. OK back to reality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 You can't beat a true open air stadium. I can't stand these bogus retractable stadiums. They never open the roof and all you get is a racing stripe. Build a Hines Field for 300M. We don't need the trophy room so we can build it for less.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Will it be close to the Bass Pro Shop? No but the New Peace Bridge will exit right next to it. Painfully hilarious guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggieScooby Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm all for a domed stadium with a glassed wall overlooking lake Erie or Niagara Falls. In all likelihood the Ralph is the end of the road for Buffalo, unless Ralph & Co. look to the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uticaclub Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Could it be left open for all football games and closed for convention events? How does this solve our need for a legitimate qb and coaching staff? Will we resign byrd and levrite? Why did we release Moorman, Powell is terrible. Why didn't we go for two?

CarolinaBill Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It looks great, and Imo would be wonderful for Buffalo and the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Looks great, it would help the team stay in buffalo long term if they can sell it out consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Of course, building something like this will first require a detailed study which will be done by well-paid government employees with generous benefits and will take years to complete. Then, it will also require the construction of an "interpretative center" adjacent to the stadium, describing the role that LGBT and Native Americans had in the creation of the stadium.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It's a nice thought... http://www.buffalone.../121029746/1109 God I hope so, this franchise needs all the help it can get, I think a new stadium would make more attractive to prospective owners and would be huge incentive to any new GM, coaches and Players that will come here.

Yes but to be multi purpose it needs to be doomed, maybe they will keep open for all Bills games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I love everything about it. The cost is so high because of the whole package that it includes. Not sure if we need all of that. Hines Field is a great example. Don't need something Dallas like here. We def need more parking than the proposed 5,000 spots tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
