So what? Did they discontinue making the 'Young' team jersey nameplates?

My point was he presumably has enough funds to purchase 6 PSLs and all that goes with it (tickets, parking, merch, concessions, etc.), but wears a dated, thread-worn team jersey. Geez, put out the extra C-note and don some decent attire for the publicity event.

Or.. just duck into the Bills locker room and 'borrow' a jersey,

 

You called it a Rob Johnson jersey, that's why I pointed it out.

Just wait when we get reports of the awning covering nothing close to reported % of rain / snow. Gonna be chaos

 

I have no dog in this fight but to me the canopy looks larger than I imagined.

As you just happened to mention it, the new seat test video is also one of the best representations they’ve shown to date of the extent of the roof overhang. For good or bad.

I don't care about cushions. Where's the beer holders? I thought they said every seat would have one. 

I'm tired of losing $18 beers because people don't know how to walk

Drink faster.

There’s another panoramic video from the field level that I’ve seen circulating on Facebook. In THAT video you can see that the seat brackets are already installed along the entirety of one of the lower bowl sidelines. Way more than just a single section.

Along those lines…I wonder if there is not a plan for some economic development (besides just stadium parking) in the vacated space?  I’m not a planner but perhaps some dining, retail…something that OP and other area residents would visit year-round, with special events scheduled around game/other stadium event days?

 

 

I think a casino would be the only venue that would draw people to that section of Orchard Park.  The village itself has fine restaurants and shops!

What I noticed is that this wasn’t just a ceremonial test fit. If you look closely you’ll notice that they have the framework for the entire section’s seats already installed on the precast concrete risers. It’s pretty amazing considering there’s over a year left if the construction schedule. 

 

Didnt they also already start handing some of the AV stuff too? I was pretty shocked at that.

 

I'm sure Turner Construction knows what they're doing. Not their first rodeo. But both seem risky this early.
