Returntoglory Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I went to AT&T Stadium today and all I can say is WOW! I have been to many Professional Sports Stadiums and Arena's all around the world but the AT&T Stadium hands down, is the most impressive facility I have ever seen. I had some time to kill today prior to an event I had to attend so I said, what the heck, let me run out to the stadium and get a few shots and maybe some souvenirs for some friends back home who are Cowboys fans. Little did I know that they had a VIP tour for only $27.00 so I said, what the hell, and took the 11/2 hour intimate tour! First of all, this place is HUGE, Fuccillo HUGE! driving in the area you can see it on the horizon because it just can't hide! Once inside, it's vastness takes on an entirely new scale. NO OBSTRUCTED VIEWS! Nada. Nothing. Nowhere! Site-lines are simply incredible. 105,000 people, are you kidding me? The concourse areas are impressive, MANY bathrooms, restaurants, food& beverage stands, NOTHING was neither forgotten nor no expense was spared to give the Cowboys fans the ultimate Fan and Game experience! I'm an old school Bills fan. Been to many games dating back to the 70's but I have to tell you, this is what we need and we need it DOWNTOWN! I want to be spoiled and pampered when I shell out the $$$ to see my team. I'm tired of the miserable ride in the dead of winter to OP. This is the shiney new toy us Bills fans deserve! Oh and, I also met Jerry Jones as well ? 13 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerovoltz Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I live down here...went to a Chiefs/Cowboys game...and also the 2018 draft. Very impressive stadium and I concur with everything you say...the only thing you didn't get to see based on the tour...is that during the game, you end up watching the massive midfield TV, wich shows live game action. It's hard not to watch it, because it's a better look than actually watching whats going on down on the field...you look around and 100,000 people are all watching the game on TV with you...while it's being played on the field...very different for sure. I don't know if it's worse or better to have it this way...that TV, like everything else in there, is impressive. The roof opens also....wich, I would imagine would be a great feature to have in Buffalo so that you could have open air for those crisp autumn days, but close the thing for the impossibly cold windy days. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo! While we're were sitting in the stands getting the spiel from the tour guide, you could not take your eyes off of the immense screen! 54 yards wide! I also agree that a retractable roof is a must as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Lightning Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 My company did an event there. Impressive. But you know the accoutrements will impress my wife and non-fans, but for me the best part was the views of the field. And frankly I just want to watch the game I really don't care too much about everything else. But that's me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Buffalo will never be able to compete with the Cowboys and huge market teams of this world and they shouldn't try to. In a few years, people will have forgotten what it's like to go to a traditional football game, old school style, but we will still have that experience in WNY. Going "old school" can be cool. I have seen ball games in Fenway and Wrigley Field. Also seen them in modern abominations like Sky Dome. Going back in time as you enter Wrigley Field is totally cool and I wouldn't have it any other way, if I could choose. The idea of watching a game on TV that I am at in person makes me sick. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and, I also met Jerry Jones as well ? Dude, there is 0 chance we get this stadium downtown. Its not happening. First of all a downtown stadium would kill the tailgating and the pregame atmosphere at Orchard Park where you are basically going to a party in someone's backyard. Second of all, Jones prints money so this stadium as expensive as it was isn't really that expensive for him...he can make that up quickly. Third of all, we dont have the economy nor the population to support a stadium of thst size. If they build a new stadium i really hope its not downtown. I hope its somewhere that has the capability to be a great tailgating area that has plenty of ways to get in and out of the area...something downtown does NOT have...you think traffic after a Bills game is a nightmare now?? Imagine the traffic after a game downtown...you might not get home til midnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 My late dad and I went to a Bills-Cowboys game here back in 2011. We were on the 45 yd line, about halfway up, and all I could remember was as bright and shiny the new stadium was, I equally found the huge screen quite annoying. As hard as I tried, you can't help but move your eyes from the field to the screen. I didn't shell out all that money just to watch the game on a giant TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do believe we need a new DOMED, or retractable stadium. Downtown. Drunk, and idiot fans will never understand that’s what the NFL, and The Pegulas are trying to distance themselves from. Butt chugs, flaming tables, cooking on cars, jumping from the roofs of vans. Those days will soon be over. I hope they can wrap their heads around corporate tailgate tents before the game or they just won’t be attending. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's worse or better to have it this way... I lived in Dallas when it opened. I remember one of the players said it was weird because when a big play happened on the field, there was a delay before the fans started cheering because the fans were watching on the big TV which had a little delay. I used to go to a lot of Seahawk games and they had one although much smaller. I would catch myself watching it sometimes. I'm voting for worse. When I go to a game I like to watch just what certain players sometimes. Or when a.guy breaks one you can watch what the defenders do. I remember once when were playing the Eaglez, Shady broke one and I watched how Byrd sized him up, lined him up, and tackled him. Can't see that on tv. And the size and placement would be VERY distracting. I did go there for the 2018 draft. No thanks. Would be like going to a game at a movie theater.

1ManRaid Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 "NO OBSTRUCTED VIEWS!" Shouldn't be amazed at that. Anyone who builds a sporting venue with obstructed views should be dragged into the street and shot, especially in a billion dollar stadium. That's bare minimum #1 for a public viewing venue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
