Man with No Name Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 aren't they 100% committed to leaving the city? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olliemets Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 As renderings go, this is a great pitch. But isn't this old? Bears are leaving because capacity is too low and they want to buy up the real estate surrounding area near the proposed new stadium and do what Packers are doing and What Pats have already done in Foxborough...Braves in Cobb County. Etc. Suck in as much revenue as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaBillsJunkie Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 That is amazing. What a stadium. Now they just need a real team to play in it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc. Suck in as much revenue as possible. I drove past Foxboro a couple months ago. I saw two hotels and a strip mall. Impressive really. Granted, it's two more hotels and 1 more strip mall more than OP has built at the stadium in 50 years but whatever. There wasn't a specific reason to stop. What Denver is doing around Mile High was more impressive but it's also way closer to downtown than either OP or Foxboro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Term. Bears leaving Soldier Field less than 2 decades after it was rebuilt for them kind of a bad look. But thats why they are doing it.$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Pretty cool for Chi-town. And yep, Our new stadium in Orchard Park will always be a monument to the Bills, in the middle of nowhere really, with no hotels or retail surrounding it. The venue will be used 10 times a year,, with maybe a few high school games added and a summer concert. We will still freeze our asses off for winter games but hey, at least it will have wind buffer technology around it. 3 3 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiva Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Our rendering were cheap and boring. Why can’t Buffalo spend necessary money?? Even cheap out of the renderings. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The City of Chicago would cost a ton more in leasing & taxes. The potential new site is in Arlington Heights, one of the northern suburbs. I don't even think they could get those renovations approved with Soldier Field being a historical landmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But but but the historical architecture gets absorbed into a high-end club bar. The poors never really appreciated the neoclassical, Doric columns anways... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled up the shout song on YouTube and played it at full blast while I drove laps around the parking lot. We ended up going to eat at one of the restaurants and watch Thursday night football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Caveman Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 This seems like the equivalent of the city of Buffalo releasing some renderings of a downtown stadium while the team, county and state are in agreement to build the stadium in OP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollars 2 donuts Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I hit the pause button every time they showed the dome. Oh, and all my clothes were 100% on the whole time...freaks. 😄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I would love a Transformer stadium. You press a button and it transforms into a dome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
