vorpma Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Not only no to a dome but build a stadium on the lake in the city; the greatest NFL games are in Green Bay and the old Minnesota Vikings in the 60's and early 70's! Real football; then re - organize and create the great lakes division - Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, and Green Bay. A new black and blue division!

gr8billsfan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Why play in Buffalo if you can't deal with the SNOW? That's one of the many factors that Buffalo is famous for! No dome! I love football, you know the sport that plays through all weather conditions? Yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the team that wants it more if there is one slip and a huge play just one play thag results in a TD that is the team that wanted it more lol Don't care. Still don't want a dome, it's too sterile.

Wayne Arnold Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We need a dome for days like this. If this game were meaningful it would be a travesty. Imagine a playoff game in conditions like this? Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) Can they make it retractable and waterproof everything. And... During football, mandate that it has to stay open. Close the roof to melt the snow before and after game. Saves labor, and best of both worlds. Or would people cry & whine: "Close the roof during inclement weather!" Too tempting????

As a counter point - if it were a bigger game, in these conditions, it's a game that would be talked about for years by more than just Bills fans. Sure, some of that would be negative (ugly game! etc), but a lot would be positive. You don't get special games like this in a dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Kinda just dawned on me the Patriots game last week was one of the latest times they've come to Buffalo in the year. Hmm, can it be the NFL calculates the increased odds they'd have to play on the road in conditions like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 3 hours ago, MAJBobby said: This isnt NFL football jesus I agree with you here, that wasn't Football, and how would fans react if this team was actually expected to be contenders and lost a game like this because of a fluke play caused by the snow and they missed the playoffs because of it? The difference between the other teams in the north east not having domes and the Bills is that those teams don't have the stadium in a location thats known for getting hit with large amounts of lake effect snow. If a new stadium is built, it may mean a dome, partial roof, or location out of a snow belt. It has nothing to do with fans being wusses or "snowflakes" and more to do with being able to play proper football and not the mess that happened today. Its fun to watch, but not a great game thats decided by the skills of the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
