Listen if you want a dome because you don't want to embrace the elements just say it

 

Don't make it about being used for events all year because that's not happening... Jerry world the biggest and best dome in the world... 

 

Has 7 events planned for all of 2022... There aren't a lot of stadium events going on around the country... 

 

And there's not going to be at one in Buffalo...

 

It's a football stadium it should be built for the best football

all large events are at an all time low due to Covid.

Carrier dome was engineered to hold a roof. Adding a replacement did not need much new structural support.

For example Highmark is an open air design and the top footprint is very wide and long and whole stadium is laid back as it does not need to support a roof. 

Domes have higher taller grade so roof is manageable for cost and engineering safety.

 

Study shows new Bills stadium could be engineered to hold a roof in the future by building it with support for the roof. Study says this would be about 118 million.(ironic they list same number as Carrier new roof cost if this is true) And would likely change the configuration making it taller, making supports sunk as needed for future weight support etc etc.......

More cost effective to do the roof now but Owners, State, and County, have already decided it is open air.

 

Even though all polls show 70 to 85% of fans want a Dome the owners and state keep saying fans want open air. Weird. Wrong statement. And depending on your opinion, dumb.

Bills roll with passing O that Allen is not good in when going against the win. Bills have best chance when Allen is at his best, which is in good weather.

Allen has had good games in adverse weather 

 

He hit stefon diggs 60 yards down the field in 50 mph winds.. no quarterback alive could do that besides him

There's not a lot of large stadium events going on pre-covid either

 

There's a huge difference between selling out an arena like first Niagara and A stadium like the Ralph

And the snow weight. Remember what happened in Minn.

apples and oranges. MN was fabric air supported and prone to tears from ice. They are no longer built. And the ones still in use have converted to solid roof.

wind took that ball and pushed it to Diggs left causing him to lose track as it hit his arms and he dropped it for game changing possibly wining TD on MNF vs Pats.

Answer me this, why is the Super Bowl played down south or in a stadium with a roof? One was in New Jersey and they got lucky that it got through ok!!

Because the Super Bowl is 1000% about the NFL and it's corporate sponsors.  The sponsors, who get the lion's share of the tickets, B word when the game isn't somewhere they want to go. It's ALL about corporate hob knobbing and knob bobbing.

I've explained this a thousand times why we're never going to get a dome and why it's not bad for us outside

 

First of all we have a quarterback who will outplay the other team's quarterback 95% of times in adverse weather.. his dual threat abilities make him almost unstoppable

 

Second.. a dome will just allow lesser quarterbacks to come here in the playoffs and have a great game and steal a victory.. the only fact is there's a lot of talented NFL quarterbacks and they could play the game of their life in that dome..

 

The chances of them coming to the Ralph in January in not good conditions and playing a great game... Are slim to none 

 

It's not about helping us it's about hurting them a lot more.. which is statistically proven by our 11 and 1 home record at the Ralph

That's at the current cheap ticket price. What happens when PSLs and higher ticket prices come into play? I'm not so sure they will fill the place when that happens. 

 

Bills will sell to ticket agencies which sell packages to opposing fans to fill it.

If it 1000% in one Superbowl it has to be 0% in next 9 to make math work.

NFL does not run on deficit spending like US government.

I can guarantee you the Super Bowl isn't played in warm weather or domes to get "good football" or whatever you're implying.  It's because the corporate/NFL elite who actually attend that game want to do it somewhere warm and nice in winter.  

 

Period.

 

Why do corporations across America set up "winter meetings" on a golf course in FL?  


Same reason.

 

 

 

 

Name one cold weather city that has had. Super bowl without a dome? Beside NJ. Look at bigger pic for Better Buffalo.

It won't be too long into new stadium life that Allen will not be able to run like he does now. He might only have 1 good year of running left by the time new stadium opens.

 

Allen passing is better in dome and all around play is better. I will bet on Allen.

It's not happening it will never happen and statistics prove our home field advantage is because of conditions

 

Josh Allen's lost in perfect conditions.. it's not like he's automatically Mr perfect in good weather

 

He's undefeated at home in the Ralph in the playoffs, in the conditions.. Lamar couldn't play here neither could Mac Jones and neither could Phillip Rivers well 

 

It's about making them worse

Allen and Bills lost to Colts and Pats just this year in the conditions. And played poor in other games in the conditions.

We didn't play well 

 

The bills are 12 and 1 all time at home in the playoffs at the Ralph 

 

In bad conditions

 

When it matters most we absolutely play better than most teams

I can’t  wait for the new open air stadium so we can weed out all of the babies in this fanbase 🍼 . Disgraceful. 

Yeah, so you 'paper tough guys' can go to a game in person and watch something less than pure football....so when it is snowing, or has strong winds....you get 75% of the playbook or more that can't be used and we see a bastardized version of football.  Smart, really smart...but hey, if you think it makes you tough and other people babies...then you just keep thinking that. 🤣

Absolutely not going to question your fan Hood based on whether you want a dome or outdoor stadium

 

But I have reels of games from the 40s some from 30s.. obviously tons

 from the 60s and 70s 

 

Pure football is and always has been played in the elements

But it just isn't.  It doesn't matter how thing were 'done in the past', but the game played with all options open...with the players top level skill not being diminished, with the coaches having 100% of their playbook open and able to be used...simply is not in bad weather.  Everytime a game is played in bad weather, more athleticism and coaching options are taken away than are added by the conditions.

That has nothing to do with what is pure or not in the game of football

 

What's pure in football is tackling running coaching catching and execution 

 

And nothing is more pure than seeing that happen to perfection like on Saturday outside in winter 

 

It's Pure magic which makes football the best sport in the world

If they had the technology and financial resources to build domed stadiums in the 40's and 50's they would have.

The 'elements' are mostly sunshine and calm winds because most games are played in Sept and Oct. November games in nice climate cities are also comfortable. Bad weather games are the minority.

Every new stadium should have a retractable dome, and it should be closed only if the weather would have an extreme impact on the game.

Thats why dome here doesn't even make much sense 

 

We only have so many beautiful days a year here in Buffalo I don't want to spend my few nice Sundays in a dome... To be honest 

 

When it gets to December January I will brave it out
