Buffalo716 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, davefan66 said: I was invited, along with 200 of my coworkers, to a breakfast this morning with Brandon Beane and Ron Raccuia. Where I work is a partner with the Bills. Per Raccuia, he reiterated we are very close to seeing renditions. Next few weeks. Stadium is the only recently built to be football only, not multi-use, ie: world cups, Super Bowls, etc. Very important that fans have the best experience. 62K or so fans. Current stadium is 69k, not 80k. As a season tix holder, I wondered how tix will be dispersed. I asked how it will work. It will be by seniority, in the section that matches the old stadiums section. My concern is people in the lower bowl will opt to move to cheaper PSL seats, perhaps upper deck where I sit. He assured that people do move but usually within a small footprint near their current seats. Reiterated that the Pegulas understand the market and PSL prices won’t be obnoxious. Also alluded to slightly cheaper tix prices, but overall cost evening out with PSL prices. He was vague, so not sure what that really means. He also said red helmets are coming once the NFL allows. Currently, NFL only allows red helmets with standing buffalo. They are not a fan of that, especially with red, on red, on red with color rush. And fun fact, Josh pulled the red helmet on his own. Wasn’t club sanctioned! 😂 That makes literally no sense They can use a red helmet but with a logo that was never used with the red helmets? The New league rules say you can pair a new helmet… With your color rush, Alternate, Or classic The bills can make the 90s jersey the alternate and make the red helmets with the charging buffalo… What’s stopping them from that Edited August 18, 2022 by Buffalo716 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(🤔 actually, they could ‘say’ it is and nobody would be the wiser..)

muppy Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 as long as Im clued in to the new traffic patterns and where to park and tailgate I'll be happy just to Be there for a game in the brand spanking new Bills crib. Now if I were to ever win the Lotto I would purchase a corporate luxury box and take turns inviting my homeys to watch a game IN STYLE hermano. New stadium Sure Bring it. As long as the Bills and Josh Allen are playing in it the actual building is for me just concrete and seats..... cliche as it sounds: If you build it, They Will Come. WE will come.

muppy Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) I was being snarky in my last post. Of course Im excited to see what they have decided to offer up as the new home of the Buffalo Bills. I think the priciness of the tickets will be felt by the fans. But folks will find a way out of no way for this team to attend. as far as the actual edifice itself you won't/ can't please everybody. But I bet it is going to be SWEET. Im hopeful it isn't too sterile or "corporate" looking if that makes any sense. I definitely would love it to have a WNY hometown flavor in some sorta way.

This is my 14th year with Seasons and it takes an act of God for me to miss a game. I know how electric the crowd is and I've always loved it but I think you take any advantage you can. The video was planned. The player introductions with the lights off VS the pats in the playoffs was planned. Recognizing the Pegulas after they bought the team was planned. This would be no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
