major Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Think we should have had a hybrid of old war memorial and Rich stadium (Yankees did something similar with new Yankees stadium: it was a mix of new and old). No offense to the architects, but war memorial’s old design looks better than what they came up with #justsaying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 5 minutes ago, SirAndrew said: I don’t know if it will create huge shadows, because the awnings look quite small in the rendering. I’m not knowledgeable about engineering, so maybe someone can enlighten me, but I don’t understand the point of the awnings. They look like they won’t cover many fans. Is the awning supposed to reduce winds? I’d think the stadium itself could be constructed to limit winds. The rendering isn't to scale and is at an angle. The awnings should be bigger on the actual stadium. They're gonna cover 65% of fans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blainorama5 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Love it!!! Looks modern, but not over the top. I think the interior is a good compromise between maintaining the outdoor stadium feel and more of a dome-ish approach. LOVE the 3 huge buffalos out front - sweeeeet!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you get closer to the field is when you will get exposed. Pretty nice architecture but the canopy could've been extended more. It will reduce wind. It's really just a bad rendering of it. Looking at the right side of the field, it looks like it barely covers anything. If you look on the left side, I think the canopy is more accurate as it is covering most of the levels and probably little of the lower bowl.

KHAN Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Read through about 2 pages of whining. After I went and threw up, I gathered my thoughts. We're a tiny market who are incredibly fortunate that we still even have a team. Getting a new stadium of any kind is a blessing for us. Nashville is loaded with $$$. So they, and other rich cities can trash talk us on how superior their stadium is. And we can trash them on how Josh and the boys humiliated them on the prime time!!! 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the capacity was a bit larger (more screaming fans = louder game day experience). The bills usually sell out so the decision to reduce capacity is a bit curious. I wonder if the architects and engineers will build in some sort of "advantage" to maximize crowd noise like in Seattle, or orient the stadium relative to the lake to maximize wind swirl, etc. Finally, I hope they figure out a way to honor Ralph in some way. Would you really want them to maximize wind swirl and turn every game into a mess where no one can pass the ball? I know Allen has a canon but he can't throw through everything. I'm pretty sure they designed the stadium to minimize the wind, which is the way to go. Maximizing crowd noise should definitely be a priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 me thinks a lot of fans haven't been to a lot of other stadiums to realize how many of them are super boring. Jacksonville and Carolina are extremely dull. Nashville was full of a lot of weird things - a mini farm country area. Houston was neat but boring. Atlanta is well laid out. Detroit is really boring. -------- The one question I have is about the field house and training center. It's going to be pretty far away from the stadium. If possible and I am the Bills i'd almost build a tunnel to thenew stadium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m fine with our new stadium, and don’t want to be “negative”. I just wish it looked less like a European soccer stadium. Hoping they add at least one unique feature.

Greg S Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 When the times comes the Bills will probably do tours with season ticket holders with the most seniority going first. They will get first choice on where they want their new location to be in the stadium. Trying to move thousands of season ticket holders from the current stadium to the new one will take time. That is what the Giants and Jets did when it came time to go from Giants Stadium to MetLife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shots they cut away to on the field that look cool as hell are often freelancers with a $2,000 camera and it looks a million times better than the $500,000 camera shooting the sideline... But yeah, they need to get with the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
