Why isnt there a roof in DT, Why are we only getting 60K.. Soon that 65K seat DT with a roof at the cost of 1.9B looks better. Add thte 500M-1B in infrastructure upgrades, and you are getting a voting public on board with a 1B dollar plus public layout for the stadium. Am I oversimplifying it by saying we are relying on Poloncarz to say that the proposal in the AP article isn't acceptable?

We sold it out when we had 80k. If we're gonna build a new stadium, lets put in more seats imo Yep. Back in 1991, for example, the Bills led the NFL in attendance by a wide margin with an average home game showing of roughly 78,000. Buffalo has the demand for a bigger stadium. If you build it, they will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pay like say 10K for your right to buy season tickets in a certain area. You will then have to pay for those tickets. However that PSL is a one time cost and is owned and can be past to the family as part of the estate as well. However if the PSL holder doesnt NOT buy the tickets they forfeit their PSL back to the team for resale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, JohnNord said: Not at all and it has more to do with logistics than the usual cold-weather weather excuse (though that probably does effect things too) The biggest issue is that the Orchard Park/Buffalo area probably couldn’t handle the amount of Super Bowl visitors. Even, if they could the accommodations wouldn’t be very good. Buffalo is not meant to host an event like the Super Bowl in any way I don’t think this should be a big consideration. KC, GB, Pitt, NE etc arent hosting SBs, they are playing in them. All I care about. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is on him and the Fans to really say NO we want this and we want this here, and we will fund it. This release will likely maybe already be known by Poloncarz and he is in on it as well, to drum the support for the public layout that will be needed downtown even BEFORE the stadium site is formalized. Because If I am the Pegulas I am not saying DT, before I see the infrastructure work passed and started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The WNY area can easily support dozens of private golf clubs with yearly dues into the 10's of thousands of dollars a year and very steep initiation fees. Getting a box for the year is basically the same deal. True ... Buffalo is not a rich city, but there is still alot of old money here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 "The Buffalo Bills’ proposed new $1.4 billion stadium..." I'm guessing this is just the initial proposal. Which will be met by counterproposal. At this point, who knows what the Bills actually want? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you own one lets say you paid 5k for it and want to give it up you can sell it for more money to a fan who wants to buy it from you.

I love when reporters do this. I get it and understand why because you should get credit for your work. Instead of having it jacked and credited to “sources”. just always funny at the reporter spats.

We should be able to sell out 70,000 every week in the modern day. I'm assuming everyone was cramped. They probably want larger, nicer seats in the new stadium.

blacklabel Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Ugh, just go with the retractable roof instead of this specially designed partial roof that’s gonna cover “most” of the seats. What’s the point then? And the weather advantage is way overblown. Yeah it gets cold, gets windy, but some people act like they’re playing in straight blizzards from mid-November on when in reality they get a heavy snow game once every three or four seasons, so it really isn’t that big a deal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes hypothetically you could pay 10K for it. If Bills keep staying good could sell it for 30k. also In theory it also should limit those the secondary market professionals from buying up a bunch of season tickets to sell on the secondary market as individual seats. because they would have a HUGE layout for all the PSLs Edited August 31, 2021 by MAJBobby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a week long event of money to the max and the only reason NYC got it was because it was 50th anniversary as a one time shot. Most sponsors and owners want just southern teams to host so it guarantees good weather and parties. Indy and Minny mayyyy get another crack as people really liked it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aud after they raised the roof...16,433. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huh? What? Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 If you do a Google search of"new Buffalo Bills Stadium renderings" and click on google images result you see a proposed drawing of a stadium that looks like what the AP said. The image was posted on redditt but it was removed from the thread at the request of someone. Shows a city setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
