Bills new workout facility


Recommended Posts

It's pretty clear that even if a downtown stadium is built, the facilities and offices(indoor practice dome, exercise facilities, offices and ticketing bldg, etc..), the Bills will continue to use this as their home base for everything but game day.

Yes, and it probably means that if they build a new stadium they should just do it at the current site. Seems to have everything they need. Build the new one in the parking lot and then bulldoze New Era to become the new parking lot.

Probably a lot cheaper than downtown. At least for the land.

That’s not uncommon in other cities - Cleveland comes to mind (everything is in Berea but the stadium) I expect that as well.

that's awesome.  Thanks for sharing.  I wonder if the Bills will sell dumbbell's, etc. with the Bills logo on them?  Would be cool to have for a home gym.

 

 

NP  those did look awesome   Bills Bells

Looks like there will be no more fighting over the 12.5 lb dumbbells (for working the lats). 

 

But really, make the players feel wanted and they’ll want to be here. The end. 

the Bills tweet    Christ they can bring in their entire families and still have open stations

Don't some sort of workouts start on Monday?  

Why,  yes they do

  • First day of voluntary offseason workouts: April 15.
  • Organized team activities: May 20-21, May 23, May 28-29, May 31 June 3-4, June 6-7.
  • Mandatory minicamp: June 11-13.

Been following this project all along.  Everything that I have read and heard has said that this facility is nothing short of state-of-the-art.  We're not just talking about the best facility in the league, but one of the best facilities in the entire country.  That's awesome for us and I really think it will go a long way in recruiting talent to come here.  We've set the new standard here.

Sorry, a knee jerk - Pavlovian reaction.  Nothing personal.  ?

Room for foosball tables?

 

I knew that was coming. From whom, I did not know, but it was inevitable. At least I am self-aware!

While this would seem practical, it has some downsides. The Orchard Park location is far flung for many out of towners anttending the games, and even those in the heavily populated northtowns. There are few local businesses in the area to pick up extra customers on gamedays. Pretty much an economic wasteland in the general area around NEF. The stadium location has never been very good, and a new stadium there doesn’t change anything in that department.

Agreed. The hotel/bar/restaurant scene isn’t ideal either. I’m all for a downtown location in pegulaville with the facilities in OP.

Because Jerr... Because he...OR she...we just don’t know...wants to remain anonymous. 

 

Im sure he...OR she...is stewing over it while riding to work in a helicopter. If that really is what that person may or may not do.

This was the first thought that came to mind when I saw these videos.  Is there anymore else written about how it compares to other facilities?

Actually if we wanna compare from a players perspective buffalo ***** on Dallas. Facilities for recovery and training are top notch! https://t.co/RhYV6Yzv28

The Bills’ sports performance center at One Bills Drive is one of the best facilities in the NFL. Player rehabilitation, strength and conditioning and safety are all at the forefront of what Terry and Kim Pegula set out to emphasize with the additions to the facility.
