ALF Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 This would be a good poll question. A number of Bill's fans travel to other stadiums. Most of us just see what's on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon127 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) There's a fictional stadium on madden, where the dome is completely glass. Its like a glass bowl overtop the stadium. I want the bills to build that. If the Chicago game is an indication of anything, that if the weather is nice, the stadium will be full, even for a 2-6 teams.

Kirby Jackson Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I’ve maybe been to about 1/3rd of them. 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The glare from that glass would be insane. Not to mention the shadows at 1pm games. I like consistent light all over the field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducej11 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The Mercedes Benz dome in Atlanta is incredible. But not Buffalo. To me, Lucas Oil Field is exactly what Buffalo needs. From the outside, it speaks to the history of the city, the grind and grit. The dome in Atlanta is too flashy for a city like Buffalo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Bills Fan Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I've been to the Superdome, Jerry World, Nashville, Jacksonville, Houston and Tampa when the Bills have been there. Dallas is by far the nicest of those but Tennessee would be a good copy for the Bills. It's a nice, basic stadium with a few amenities but not over the top like Dallas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Popinski Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Detroit's stadium looks really nice to me. It looks like the fans are right on top of the field, maybe just an optical illusion but that's a great looking venue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people love the outdoor stadium for nostalgia but it would be a mistake if they didnt build a domed stadium next time around. 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. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH063 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Oh how fun it is to dream! I don't mean to be a Gloomy Gus but imagine the cost of a ticket, cost of concessions, cost of parking, cost of apparel etc. to offset the cost of a stadium. Then add in the increase in taxes for everyone. The Pegula's aren't footing the bill. Neither is New York State. I'd love to see it happen and I hope somehow it becomes a reality but I think there's a better chance the team moves. There's a reason why there's no real plans to build a new stadium when the NFL has made it clear the Bills need one to be viable in the future. There's not enough money to make it happen! Anyone ever stop to wonder why the Bills are the only team in NY State and playing in an outdated stadium? Anyone know how much the Yankees and Mets tickets went up in price after their new stadiums opened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Been to a number, the ones that the Bills should follow, which is simple yet functional are Cleveland, New England, or Seattle. All older style, open (cheaper option) that have the suites that Jerry Skeletor Jones requires from owners regardless if their market can bear it, but also being what normal paying fans want.... good sight lines, good concourses, easy in and out. Keep the one we have. Pushing a new stadium for this garbage product and asking for taxpayer handouts is going to drive people away and I can't see a net gain in profit for the team. 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 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.

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...
