Looks like there’s restaurants, bars, outside patio areas. Oh, and a dome that would ensure people going to the games in the winter time. But we’ve all argued that before. Instead we’ll get just a plain stadium and nobody wants to do anything or will do anything almost half of the football season. Over half if we’re lucky enough to host some home playoff games. Which is a rarity for this organization minus about 9 years worth of football. So, you wish Buffalo was Nashville. Got it. On the other hand, this is why the stadium will cost half as much.

No. I wish the City of Buffalo and surrounding areas made smart decisions when it comes to things like this. and it’s not twice as much so I don’t know what to tell you about match that you should already know as an adult, But 1.4x2 is not 2.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you think a downtown stadium is supposed look like. It appears to have lots of plazas and balconies for restaurants etc which would seem very appropriate for its context. The architects are trying to engage the surrounding neighborhood. Which is really hard to do with a building that’s inherently inward focused. And…Since it has a roof you’re not going to see tall stadium light poles. If that’s what you were expecting.

nucci Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I think it looks kinda cool. Yes, not a stadium from the outside but why is that important? Someone posted earlier about how it seems there's more to do than just hanging out in parking lot. Something different is not always wrong. Plus it's a football stadium on the inside 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agreement is signed and they are finalizing the community agreement. My general guess is the sitting governor and crew asked for nothing to be announced until after so it doesnt bring up attention during the campaign. The majority of the state funds are actually just casino repayment from the Seneca's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the Community Impact agreement and some politicians like Lee Zeldin opposing using public money. The press in the eastern half of the state has been relentless in bashing the deal. I'm not going to be comfortable until construction begins. Look at today's Bills coverage on the main page, the NY Post is at it again, bashing the deal and the governor. Last week in a column in the Albany Times Union a columnist threw in another dig against the deal. Face it, it's WNY against the rest of the state when it comes to the new stadium. Personally, I'm getting pretty tired reading all the eastern NY bashing of the deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 This is sort of ominous, IMO. Shouldn't we be having celebratory releases of renderings and excitement about the new stadium by now? This is how things seem to work in NY: there's an agreement, but it's not official until the agreement is agreed upon, then agreed upon again, then more negotiations, then an agreement. IMO silence is not good, but maybe there is a very good reason why it's practically like a stadium deal was never announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
