Exactly like you said, even if the team is bad it gives people something to do and during winter it will be an escape from the cold. As much as people want to believe it, the cold/snow in December does not help us at all. Sure maybe teams from the south arent used to it but neither are most of our players and it puts both teams at a disadvantage. It also is a massive deterrent to a fanbase that is one of the smallest in the NFL. It wasn't always that way. Buffalo players used to ride snowmobiles, hunt, and sleep on their porches in T shirts. Raiders 51-3 baby. Today they are kitties. Edited November 9, 2018 by bmur66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 For an old curmudgeon like me, I loved Lambeau. I mean criminy were two rows from the top and sight lines were like the clubs. The concourses were awesome and wide and plenty of space. Being a realist, I also understand a roof of some kind is prolly a have to have, not a nice to have. So if we could build a Lambeau type field, a big bowl with bench seating, nicer clubs for the swells to sit in up top..and stick a retractable see-through roof on that sucker I am all in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine a football game without the elements. Imagine a nice or winter afternoon of tailgating and then step inside to a dome. We did it in Atlanta not long ago, and it sucks the life out of you. They don't tailgate there, it's all cement parking garages which is so lame, but we were just hanging outside and then went inside and it was tragic. personally i'd do what Lambeau did. Add some suites up and away and keep the rest the way it is. If I want glitz and huge video screens flashing and blaring all day I'll go to Vegas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add that I do think regularly cramming three home games here in December is a bit of an attempt at sway by the league to prod ownership towards a new building. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Atlanta stadium is far and away the nicest that I’ve been to. I haven’t been to Jerry World yet though (next season). In in terms of the model for the Bills Lucas Oil seems to be the most practical. They have the retractable roof working again, which makes it even better. While it’s great for football and soccer, I’m fascinated by the Vikings stadium, but I have not been there (yet). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not at the Miami game, so dont remember if that was full or not. I think lifting the blackout rule can hurt a team like the Bills..i thought it was a good rule.

I am refuting your nonsense. Start your own thread on how the Bills will not be building a new stadium. Do it. I don't like to live life pretending the worst case scenario is going to happen. Bills don't build a new stadium. A puppy dies. I'm a mass shooter. A comet the size of Texas crashes into the Earth from outer space. But the worst case scenario very rarely happens and the Earth keeps spinning. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 U.S. Bank stadium is perfectly designed for the exact weather conditions that Buffalo deals with. Sight lines are amazing, stadium design is cool, the natural light inside the stadium is perfect. This is the type of stadium I would expect to see built in Buffalo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Those who don't want a new stadium: If you want Goodell and other owners to stay mad at Buffalo and do things to hurt the franchise on the field, stay in New Era. We must give into the billionaires greed to have a chance in today's NFL. Build a new stadium and fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
