i am more worried about the wind. Anything over 15 MPH will become a serious problem.

Your comments here are why I have frequently argued at this forum for an open aired stadium, or no new stadium at all in WNY.

 

We will NEVER keep up with SOFI in LA or Cowboys Stadium or anything close to that stuff.

So then don't try.  Go our own path and try to be unique.

 

Pretty soon, there aren't going to be many "real football stadiums" left, where you go, sit, and actually watch a football game because that is all there is to do there.  And open air is critical to that experience IMO.

 

As time goes on, a place like Rich Stadium is going to be that much more of a relic from the past, and it will only get better with age, not worse.  It's a fine line between "old and run down" and "historic and vintage" if you know what I mean.

 

Of course, I don't go to many games there these days.

LOL.

 

I finally had the chance to see a ball game at Wrigley in Chicago a couple years ago; that is the coolest stadium and surrounding area of anything I have ever seen, anywhere.  Any city, any sport, any country.  And I'm a huge Red Sox fan who has been to Fenway!  

 

It is amazingly old and "crappy" from one perspective; but the entire thing is absolutely incredible, as is the surrounding area, which has been transformed into an extension of the ball park.  Tons of rooftop terraces beyond the outfield bleachers have seating bleachers on them, across the street, so that the entire neighborhood literally is watching the game in addition to the fans in the stadium.

 

Everything surrounding the entire ball park is Cubs-oriented.  It's just a totally cool atmosphere and experience, and the critical dimension of the whole thing is that the ball park was never destroyed to make way for a new one.

 

Sometimes old is good.  In fact, it often is.

 

 

Maybe so, but we already know we have great fans. As do many other cities as well.

 

 

Sunset at 4:41pm.  That is the Buffalo winter-time bleakness I unfortunately remember all too well.

 

That stuff will KILL YOU.

 

 

Yea Goodell is strong arming us into getting a new stadium though haha

I've got a solution.  Put hand warmers in your pockets...like deep in the pocket.  It'll be like an electric blanket for your jewels.

Buffalo national weather service mentioning possible lake snow now

 

A change to a meridional flow this period will bring active weather to our region. Sunday an upper level trough will deepen over the western Great Lakes, while zonal flow over the Northeast amplifies. This trough will deepen a surface low to our west and north...one that the operational model runs of the GFS, ECMWF and Canadian are in fairly good agreement with as far as track and deepening the low. Attached to this deepening surface low will be a cold front, with convective showers ahead and along it Sunday Night.

 

The cold front will reach WNY early Monday morning, sweeping across the region through the day...with post front steeping lapse rates and mixing level heights supporting strong winds. Cold air at 850 hPa deepening -10 to -14C behind the cold front through Tuesday will set the stage for a lake effect precipitation response, with accumulating lake snows likely Monday afternoon through Tuesday. Exact placement is still uncertain at this point...but could include areas northeast of the Lakes, including Buffalo and Watertown Monday. High pressure will briefly near the region Tuesday, with winds and lake snows diminishing, but another storm system Wednesday could renew the stronger winds along with areas of rain and snow.

home schedule rough this year.   4 home games after Dec 1.  pretty unusual.  

[Bubba Gump]

It's looking more and more like it's gonna be heavy lake snow and big time winds Monday night. I'm feeling all fuzzy inside.

On the flip side the place will be packed and going crazy in a bad weather game.

I don’t get it?  They won’t be going crazy if it is not a bad weather game?

[letsgoteam]

I respect that some people like weather and nostalgia, but when the offense cant do anything because of the weather and they lose because of that, its going to be pretty miserable. 

 

I know they cant magically put a roof on the stadium now, but moving forward, build the dome!

But now the fans can throw snowballs at Belichick all night. The people who tend to tailgate a little too much beforehand tend to get crazier in crap weather.

25mph is the one I saw.  Those gusts will hurt Jones ability to go downfield. Crowd the line and Jam the receivers and get after it.

I just saw on the local Rochester weather there could be gusts up to 50 mph Monday as the cold front comes through. Mac Jones gonna be scuurred.

[Victory Formation]

This is why I want a dome. I will leave my false bravado at the door. I am old, my bones hurt and I don’t want to freeze my ass off for four hours next to drunken idiots.

Syracuse weatherman said 100 mph winds and a flock of penguins are expected to swim ashore in Angola. But I would think the Buffalo weather guys have a better handle on it.

Exactly.   Just play 9 or 10 guys near LOS.  Keep poyer and or Hyde deep and attack.
