BillnutinHouston Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Stopped by the Bills Store yesterday and noticed two cranes outside the stadium. Upon closer inspection, whole sections of upper deck seating were being removed. I assume they're replacing those seats. Anyone know what the full project scope is?

eball Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Would be cool if they're replacing the benches with actual seats. That's been needed for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed in some of the mini camp film that parts of the upper deck looked black. Asked in the Shout box but nobody replied with a answer there either.

Spurna Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 They've somehow tricked 300-level season ticket holders near the 50-yard line to pay sky-high prices for those seats, so I'm guessing middle-300's will get actual seats instead of benches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltonWaddams Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 they're stealing the Vikings stadium with some David Copperfield-esque stunt I can't decide if that place is too modern or my favourite stadium in the league.

Hammered a Lot Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Have to ask Hammer. The remove of seats was I think for resealing the upper deck or it might also have been for leveling/patching the decking. The cranes are for the new field lighting. It looks like less lights which will produce more lumens. Also the grass (from a New Jersey farm) is down on the new practice fields. They finished that part yesterday.

4_kidd_4 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hope they paint the underside of the upper decks. The rest of the stadium looks good w the renovations/painting, just need to clean up the upper deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I like bench seating. I didn't mind them as seats. But when some people would beat on them all game apparently not realizing (or caring) that the noise albeit irritating to those of us nearby, would not even be able to be heard at field level. Being aluminum that was annoying to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the HIGHLY annoying train horn blaring out of every speaker? Is that in there also? Along with extreme drunkenness and table-crashing?

Along with extreme drunkenness and table-crashing? Take the horn up with the AV department. And if you can get a table past security, you are allowed to smash it in-house. Bylaws and the such.
