Wow, shadows may be an enormous issue, especially for 1:00 pm games early in the season.  The old studium rarely had a shadow issue.  Some places, like Indy, Atlanta, and strangely, Minneapolis, have such overbearing shadows that whole portions of the game are almost impossible to watch.  I hope they took this into account in laying out the field, otherwise, people will be very upset after paying a fortune for a PSL.

 

The HORRORS!!!

Drink copious amounts of Crown. You can do ANYTHING whilst drinking copious amounts of Crown.

I don’t know about that.  The shadow poster cited at least two domed/covered stadiums (Minnesota and Atlanta). I’ve been at Minnesota’s stadium and didn’t notice a problem with shadows. 
 

Dallas definitely has a sunshine problem.

Well western NY tends to have a "lack of sunshine" problem during football season.

Last time I went that route I reached Brian Wilson bed bound do nothing level, but it didn’t last as long as he did it for. Contrary to how it looks, it’s really hard work.

Oh I know this all too well. Let me tell you about the night I drank a 750 ml full bottle of Crown, and a quarter of another bottle, took a cab home, and when I walked back into the bar the next night, the bartender looks at me and says "You're still alive?"

That must have been one expensive bar tab

This dude thought me drinking crown was a circus act, so he paid for everything. I wasn't complaining.

I genuinely dont understand how billion dollar projects with very intelligent engineers do not foresee these problems.

Its part of the reason why im skeptical when people assume that the Bills stadium engineers have thought of some of the potential issues we bring up.

HEY!!! We have deviated from intelligent discussion about the new stadium to highlighting drunk drinking binges! Enough of this nonsense! Tell us about your drunk times!

There is a workaround that they use for events there. Basically, very large blackout curtains. But Jerrah, for whatever reason, doesn’t allow them to be used during Cowboys games. 🤷‍♂️

Back in my early 20's, been out with friends, going back home, one friend was the DD, driving. I'm in the front passenger seat. We are getting on the highway, and I ask him to pull over so I could puke. A cop must have been nearby and pulled in behind us while still on the on ramp. I'm puking and cleaning myself up with napkins, and throwing the napkins on the ground. When I heard the cop talking to my friend, I started picking up the puke smelling napkins and putting them in the car. Why? Because I did not want to get a ticket for littering.
