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...

I recall a MNF game vs. the Broncos back in the glory days. Bum Phillips was coaching the Broncos at the time.

I personally like the standing logo but white on red buffalo is the way to go. So how about dem renderings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroldwaide Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 If I'm the Bills, I show the renderings on the jumbotron before the home opener to get the crowd excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 With Buffalo's history of renderings not coming to fruition maybe this time we dont see any renderings and it actually gets built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(🤔 actually, they could ‘say’ it is and nobody would be the wiser..) They’re talking about that horrendous “throwback helmet” from back in the mid-90’s that looked like a flock of buzzards flew in overhead and released they’re load on the Bills players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, opened 2019 with a capacity of 62,850. Brand Finance’s Football Annual ranked it as ‘Best soccer venue in the world.’ Designed by Populous architecture, the same firm commissioned for the Bills' stadium.

Pretty much looks like what we’ve been told so far. Stacked seating, totally enclosed and coverings over the top deck. Seating is about the same. Ron Raccuia Stated it wil be between 62-63K fixed seats and 3k standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs get "Spursy" in big games and lose. The Bills have gotten "Billsy" for a long time. 13 seconds is one of the Billsier things they done in awhile. Why shouldn't Spurs and the Bills have clone stadia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. I not need no stinkin renderings lol m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
