JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Interesting. Questions about tailgating, PSL's, different types of seating options, social areas, location, what we might be willing to pay for each amenity. of most interest: Roof was mentioned only once. Location options for a new stadium: North, South, East of Buffalo, Downtown, or current location % increase willing to pay for a new, state-of-the-art stadium Possibility that lower level sideline seats could become "club" level Interest level in a new, membership-only pre/post game gathering spot that includes food, non-alcoholic beverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 So how do PSL's work? The surver talked ab out financing them over time. So would it be like buying season tickets for 1 seat and spread the payment over so many years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Sounds like either option could include more of an entertainment district around the stadium - bars, restaurants, shopping, perhaps a musical venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I just completed mine. I thought the questions were well thought-out. I liked when saying "Maybe" to ticket prices in certain areas, they kept lowering those prices until I said "Possibly yes." New or reno, I want it in OP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 They’re def trying to figure out “how much are you willing to pay for X”. Pretty detailed and as many said, very interesting.

I don't know about that. They specifically asked how much more you'd pay for a brand new stadium right after that. I think this survey was where it needed to be. How much will people pay for new vs upgrading slightly the sidelines sections. This will be interesting to see people reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the candian dollar weak ( $1.33 = $1.00 US) any talk of hotels being filled after a game at a downtown stadium is hogwash. With improvements at the peace bridge, Rep Brian Higgins said crossing time will be cut in half when current improvements are complete. One thing to considered parking now is in a centralized area. Easy to police. Orchard Park has a low crime rate. Buffalo parking scattered all over the place. Buffalo crime rate now, not so low. The rail line in Buffalo is only 4 miles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SydneyBillsFan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I know corporate boxes are the main incentive when it comes to new stadia but I would settle for 2 shell roofs over New Era like in Seattle. Imagine the volume on 3rd downs and other big plays. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner68 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 This smells of an orginization that has basically already made a decision in what they’re going to do, but it’s trying to find ways to give a false sense of fan involvement. Thats not not a bad thing honestly. Their business, their decision, as long as government money isn’t involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do it like the Rams are doing it, you actually get every cent of your money back in X amount of years. Other PSL's may as well be explained as "paying for the right to pay for a seat." So just because you buy a PSL, doesn't mean you have actual tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
