For me the wind is the problem, not the snow or rain. what makes the wind so bad in OP, as a significant portion of the stadium is underground. 40° and a freezing rain say hello!

I could also see them building something like the "Hawks nest" seating area, and the Populous team designed something similar for Tottenham. That kind of dedicated "hard core fan" section. They said drawings will be released within the next few months. I’ve only sat in the Hawks Nest once. Rowdy atmosphere…but that’s by Seattle standards. The madness that Bills fans could produce if you only got the most rowdy fans would be nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Enjoy the lower prices for the next 4 seasons. Maybe splurge and try a club or suite seat for a few games. It will be more expensive in the new stadium. Just when inflation is hitting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit in the best seats you can for the next 4 years, price of football is going to go way up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been watching the cost of lumber, concrete, etc almost daily. I can’t imagine a project of stadium size and what the odds are of coming in on budget in this environment.

Up to $150 million of the loan is forgivable, repaid through the visiting teams' share of Bills ticket revenue over 25 years, and is contingent on both public financing and the Pegulas contributing at least $200 million of their own equity to the project, according to the terms of the league's "G-4" loan program, which helps fund stadium construction and renovations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, If Pegula doesn't repay it the other owners eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully things stabilize, for a A LOT of reasons! Many on here know that I’m an architect that designs large public commissions. Yes, the cost and availability of construction materials go up and down all the time just like the price of oil that you’re all so familiar with. The pandemic made it REALLY problematic. I can tell you that we don’t pay much attention to it on projects of this size. Trying to time the construction market is a fool’s errand. Our timelines from design to construction are simply far too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
