msw2112 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 As awesome as it would be, I don't think Buffalo would get a SB, even if they built a dome. I don't think the area has enough hotel space, a large enough airport, etc. to accommodate a Super Bowl, not to mention the weather about town (regardless of the stadium) in February for other activities. Yes, Minneapolis has pulled it off, but that city is much larger, more cosmopolitan, more hotel space, a major hub airport, etc. While Minneapolis is colder than Buffalo, it isn't as susceptible to huge lake effect snow storms. And I'm a big a Buffalo supporter as any. So Buffalo isn't building a dome to attract a Super Bowl. Nashville probably can attract one. There may be other reasons to build a dome in Buffalo, but I am not jumping into that debate. Just commenting on the Super Bowl part. But hey, just because they can't bring the Super Bowl to Buffalo, there's nothing stopping the Bills from bringing Buffalo to the Super Bowl! 1 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree. Maybe if we were a run heavy team, but bad weather favors the running game, not the passing game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've required the Pegula's to open their wallets and take on more of the costs themselves, but considering what they were able to somehow talk the State into kicking in, I think it could've gotten done.

bobobonators Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Based on how this team is built - via the passing game and Josh Allen an argument could be made for a strategic advantage for the next decade if we played in a dome/retractable roof I want to see people get excited for our afc championship game when it’s 5 degrees out with 40mph winds and we can’t pass.

Exactly, that's why I don't understand the thinking of all these "purists" that think were not the Bills if we're not playing in the cold, snow, and wind in Dec-Jan, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that those conditions are not great for our style of offense whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
