BillnutinHouston Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Interesting that Kim hasn't held any media availabilities about this. I think that signals they're in negotiation mode and keeping things close to the vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day you used to see the Dolphins huddled in their coats shivering, almost putting on a show about how cold they were. You don't see that as much now. From time to time there's a particular player it seems to affect (Kirk Cousins, for example) but it's not the same as it was. I've said this before.

Weather adds to the atmosphere of the game. Imagine Lambeau field with an ugly, soulless dome.. I think that citing Lamar here is a bit misleading. He didn't win MVP based on elite passing.

I heard Schopp and Bulldog on the radio yesterday basically saying "who knows if there will even be football in 20 years, what about fixing the schools?". I think the long term viability of brick and mortar schools is AT LEAST in as much question as whether people will still be attending sporting events. The process of sport and stadium has a multi-thousand year head start over herd public educating. You should remember that when you think people are just going to stop going to games. Communitas. That's why this site exists for chrissakes..........I would hope you've figured out why you come here by now. Are we supposed to be impressed by your overuse now of the word "comminitas"? Good for you, you listen to Schoop and Bulldog, I dont waste my time but i see how you can form your opinions. Gee, thanks for "enlightening me", I figured out why i come here, to try and have an intellectually honest debate which you are apparently incapable of. Bye Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather adds to the atmosphere of the game. Imagine Lambeau field with an ugly, soulless dome.. I agree. Winter weather is overstated, especially with the national mindset of how brutal WNY weather is. You play half your games away and there are only a handful of winter weather days in WNY for Bill games. Lambeau in a dome, when the Packers arent good games would be dreadful.. 1 hour ago, TheFunPolice said: Open air didn't slow down Josh Allen and the record setting passing game last season, so I don't think it will going forward.

Modern day players have far superior winter weather gear, they dont need to dress up in heavy coats as they did 40 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 So dome/no dome has been discussed, what about heated field? Several stadiums have it now, I think the Bills will put one in the new stadium. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 OP is not the right location for the new stadium; it is beyond obvious that it should be in the city, which is why it won't happen. 👎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Dome is dead. Downtown was never for real. Open air, tailgating, bright end-of-summer days, crisp fall days, blustery winter days in OP. As it was, as it will be and as it should be. Forever and ever. Amen. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I wonder how many of the “it will be the end of the world if they build a dome”, if given the opportunity, would pay full price to attend both regular season games next January, or any games where the weather is somewhere between bad and terrible? I would venture an uneducated guess and say the majority would be in their living rooms on those days. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
