JaCrispy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I wish they would put the AFC and NFL logos is the end zones like the old field from the 90s...or maybe they could add the charging Buffalo on both sides of the team name...but there is too much empty space in the current end zones with just the name “Bills” imo.

It looks like they still have the 1x1 pieces. Or am I missing something on the website? Edit: It looks like the 20 yard line sections are gone. I bought a plain green section. I'm sure I can make some sort of cool display with it. Edited July 1, 2019 by chknwing334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to go home and beat him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're only lightly used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I agree... I wish they had changed something with the turf design besides the size of the logo. It hasn't changed since they overhauled the uniforms, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that reason, and also because blue is clearly the primary color with which the Bills want to identify, I don't see the red end zones coming back any time soon. With any luck, the NFL will change the dumb "only one color helmet allowed" rule, and we'll get 90s throwbacks some day. End zones, though? It ain't happenin'. I agree with everything you said, but I still want’em! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpmenow Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) I got an old piece from the early 90’s. Used as a doormat. And a paper weight the size of a hardball with the turf Edited July 1, 2019 by Helpmenow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ittakestime Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Who the heck would buy a small piece of the turf? Just go to Valu and buy a piece of that grass carpet much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinctly remember the 31-0 win over the pats in 2003 being the first game on the fake grass type turf with the "Unpainted Endzones". Then they switched to blue end zones several years later, and players were slipping quite a bit on that turf. Hopefully this turf works better. The third field surface in 11 years is an exaggeration, trying to count the last year of the "Green Endzone turf" as an entire era of that turf. Its really the 3rd playing surface in 16 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a terrible analogy. The experience of going to concert and buying a 1 x 1 piece of turf that you can't even tell is from the Bills stadium is a little different. Also, what is so good about an old piece of turf? Edited July 3, 2019 by Ittakestime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People pay money for all sorts of things that others think are useless. And when I get it I'll let you know if the underside is stamped with the Bills logo or comes with a certificate of authenticity or something or that nature.
