Big Turk Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) He was on yesterday and talked about it a little bit and then again today he brings it up and Ryan Clark laughs and agrees saying "It is so trash!". He says the visiting locker room has a single toilet for all those players, when you take a shower half of them don't even work and then you are literally standing in about 4 inches of water from all the other players because the drains don't work either and says it smells terrible. Says it's the worst in the NFL by far and no matter how many times they change the carpet or paint the walls it doesn't make it any better. Yesterday he also talked about how cramped it is in there and how players would be standing outside the locker room freezing in the winter to get IV's because there wasn't enough room in there to do it. Says it is a huge homefield advantage in the winter and nobody wants to come here to play during that time especially. His part starts around the 4 minutes mark.

LabattBlue Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 On a tour during an event at the stadium a few years back, they took you in the visitors locker room, but not the Bills. I will confirm, it is terrible. 😂 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This is always one of the more amusing annual threads. It was particularly funny during the drought when there was the "screw the away team / home field advantage" crowd arguing with the "build a modern luxurious locker room to increase our reputation and help lure free agents" folks.

It's been discussed here several times. The Pegulas spent big bucks ensuring the home locker room is not only spacious, but beautiful and well designed, welcoming. I think they might have slapped a new coat of battleship gray on the visitors side. I hadn't heard the details about 1 toilet and 4 inches of water in the showers though 😂 that's really an extra helping of trash. I'm surprised there isn't some standard about the # of toilets the home team has to provide or something. Water in the shower probably smells terrible because if there's 1 toilet everyone is peeing in the shower.

Winter is Coming! I think the opposite. Put the heat on "blast" in there and turn the blowers up. One of the worst things for dealing with cold weather is if you have to go from a super-warm, dry environment to outside. You strip off as many layers as you can strip and you still get sweaty then going outside is The Big Chill. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO...like the Section 8 or government run housing where there are no thermometers in the apartments and it's literally like 85 degrees in there in the winter to the point most of the people have the windows open...it's crazy! And then people wonder why so much in tax dollars goes to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Round Bust Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 this is a competitive advantage, perhaps that one toilet will not be working when the Dolphins visit in December and the heat may not as well ? if not..we need to make it so....I volunteer to do the plugging as the AMA now recommends colonoscopies starting at 45... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This is old news. Opposing players were saying this long ago and it has not gotten better, I am sure. I am sure the new stadium will be top notch even for the enemy. At least it seems our hotels have gotten much better since Brady took that shot a while back.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 He did also throw shade at numerous other visitor locker rooms in the NFL, especially with older facilities--including FedEx Field in particular. That said, don't forget the ridiculously small and temperature rigged locker room at the Chefs' stadium we're about to visit yet again, and how many of the team couldn't fit in there while the lightning storm was happening last year (and the sorry catering excuse for food options, lol). Part of NFL life as the visiting team. Hope our facilities carry on the tradition in our new digs. I hear we are super close to seeing renderings of our new stadium, so we can also discuss the visitor locker room dimensions in more detail then! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
