Big Gun Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If the Pegulas want more fannies in the seats then they need to build a dome. It was pretty obvious that more people dislike sitting in that crap today than like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogger Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The majority of the players in the NFL are from southern states. It would be easier to convince them to play in Buffalo, if Buffalo had a dome, not to mention the possibility of getting a super bowl and the potential revenue for the city/area. I’m pro-dome, I enjoy watching other teams play in the snow, but today’s game was hard to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Again, being able to use the stadium more than just half the year will be the only consideration. I would be willing to bet that the county that gets it will demand a dome if they were to kick in any money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I want to see precision passes, Shady cutting on a dime or juking a guy out of his jock, even a 50+ yard FG is kind of exciting. Sure today was cool for a series or 2 then I was like ok I want to see some skill moves and plays. Need a dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'd be pissed about. Yeah, because the Bills are used to playing games with 8 inches of snow on the field. No one plays in conditions like we played today.

Dan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 How many snow games have there been in Buffalo in the last several years? Tasker, who's played quite a bit of football in Buffalo, said it was the worst he's ever seen. Perhaps people are over reacting bit to the conditions? This is how football should be played. The elements should be part of the game. Yeah, speed andprecision may suffer, but strength, coaching, mental fortitude become part of the game. IMO, this was one of the most exciting games I've seen in years. The refs let the teams play for once and the players fought tough as hell for the full game. There was an element of the unknown to every kick, pass, or run. It was exciting and fun to watch. No way should any team have a dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Plan and simple, put a dome on this game and no one remembers it. The weather made the game today. Everyone remembers the 2007 snowbowl. NE vs the Raiders for the start of their dynasty. It's better when the elements are involved even when it could have been against us. I watched a game today like a kid remembering what it was like to go out and play pick up ball with my friends in the snow. Just felt right.

simool Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Of course football was meant to be played this way. Especially in Buffalo. You frigging panzies. Ask Green Bay fans if they want a dome. The Buffalo Bills playing in a dome is sacrilege. Might as well move them to frigging Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaista2k Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 HELL NO to both a dome and a retractable roof. If we got a retractable room it would basically be a dome because it would be shut most of the time anyway. I love playing in the elements and wanna keep it that way!

Heavy Kevi Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm shocked how many voted for a dome. I would have guessed the vote would be something like 185 No vs. 20 Yes This is Buffalo, but there must be a bunch of fans from fair weather areas. I just can't imagine watching that game and being unhappy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really feel too strongly one way or the other. If the team is good they'll be worth watching, inside or outside. The way the rules favor the offense, a team built for a dome playing in a dome seems like the way to build in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSpeed Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Slowest game I've seen since the Cleveland game. Snow is the great equalizer. In this case I think it hurt us. I believe we would have blown out the Colts without the snow. Give me a dome with a fast playing surface and may the best team win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBDlurkerSINCE07 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Dome, please. The venue can be used year round no matter the weather. I'm a 10 yr STH and stayed home today simply because of the weather (the fact the it was Brisset v Peterman didn't help). If it was a dome game, I would have used my tickets. Some would call this soft, but after the Saints and Pats stinkers, I didn't feel like freezing to death watching a crappy game with the potential to lose. I'll take a dome any day. If I lived out of town and didn't attend games, then I'd probably vote no dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTheTrust Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm torn. I love the idea of a dome for all the other uses but my gut says this is Buffalo, WHEN we return to true contention, snow is supposed to be our advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, the 'other uses' for a dome is overstated. There really aren't many events that a dome would service that the combination of the arena and outdoor football stadium can handle. Pop an amphitheater downtown and that would cover about everything. MAYBE Buffalo would someday get a final 4, but even that is a long shot. We aren't getting those high stakes college games that Atlanta, Dallas, and even Indy grab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I like it when the weather conditions come into play but Sunday was to much.
