I think the questions might change based on answer given? I put that I don't plan to buy tickets on one of the questions, so maybe that's why. I saw a lot of PSL questions in my survey. Many already described here. It appears PSLs could be as low as $600 or up to $10K. Ticket prices could range from $68 to $$$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why would Populous move in for a temporary project that they don’t even need to be here to complete. pretty sure that Turner Construction received the bid to actually build the stadium that Populous designs. They have offices here in the area and wouldn’t have a need to build any more space or offices. Good question. There is going to be a lot of complex fabrication necessary and maybe they want to do it locally where Populous could control the output better. That is the kind of work that plant is designed to do.

Worst seats I ever had My totally unscientific survey of the 2021 complete (Pre, Reg, Post) season for scoring (FG and TD) in each end zone was 24 scores in the Scoreboard End Zone, 29 in the Tunnel End Zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will likely be buying seats in the new stadium between the 25-40s based on projected ticket prices that are actually real yet. But I have always lived down at field level or close to in when they are in your end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 15 hours ago, GottaRun said: Those are seats for people who are interested in being on TV, not for people who want to watch a football game. They cost more than I pay for a lower level Bills sideline seat on the 20. Or people that love being part of the game when it’s at its craziest. It’s not about being in TV for some people. But it is about the experience. ive got season tix in the tunnel side end zone, 14 rows up from the field. I only sat in those seats maybe 2 times last year. The rest of the time I was in the Toyota club. It is absolutely a different feel for the game. One is about being loud and rowdy. Yelling. Screaming. Getting involved with the crowd. And the other is like watching it on my couch while sitting on my hands. And god forbid if I stand up for 6 seconds even after a big play, because the snotty prick behind me will call over security because they can’t see the game at all. huge differences. I like them both for different reasons. But neither is better than the other overall. Just depends on what kind of mood your in. 16 hours ago, nucci said: And how often is that?

You may be right. I’m just not buying it. Populous isn’t making anything. They are the architects. Turner construction was awarded the bid and will be utilizing mostly local businesses throughout. Just my guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Snyder is so despised I don’t know how he goes out in public safely. The day his ownership ends, I would bet the RFK site and other options will be back on the table. DC loves that team like no other, but Snyder, his minions and all their BS has pulled the organization into the gutter.

haroldwaide Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 It's my belief that IF they have renderings they have kept them under wraps because of other, more important news stories locally.

The consensus idea seems to be that they'll send out pics of the design by the end of camp. Probably will get leaks earlier, but I'm sure the Bills have a time-frame in mind for maximum hype prior to the season.... Shovels break ground sometime in 2023 with construction finished by 2026, as far as I've seen. Could be wrong. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Super Fan Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Trust BSF I have lived in Buffalo almost 55 years come December when I turn 55 years old. I have seen a lot over the years. The new Buffalo Bills stadium is a done deal because the public money is already committed when the New York State budget passed. A CBA is just a whole lot of nothing because both the city of Buffalo and Erie County is a whole lot of nothing today this was a New York State money deal all the way. Buffalo and Erie County aren’t players anymore they haven’t been in a long long time they may think there players but there not because neither has enough money to build a Buffalo Bills a lemonade stand never mind something as big as a new NFL stadium today because both city of Buffalo are Erie County are broke. The way New York State wants them both broke and depended on the state for all the answers it is what it is we all just watch the dog and pony show but this stadium deal is a done deal in my opinion.
