Latest flyover of new stadium is here.

 

The old stadium in the background looks laughably pathetic!  

 

Makes you realize how much the current stadium is under ground. Looks like a high school stadium compared to the new one

My 1st thought..no wonder the wind was such a factor at the old Ralph.

 

Reminds me why Syracuse gets so much snow. 

The city is at the bottom of a bowl off the lake with West winds.

 

The new one is so pronounced on high ground. Hopefully it's just cold with a small moon roof for snow.

I hope the TV camera angles are equal to or better than those at the Ralph.  I hate when the cameras are positioned too high.

 

I hate when you’re sitting too low and they get in the way. It can be hard to see sometimes if you aren’t up a good bit.

Yes, apparently physics matters.

As a man in his 60s, this is true about a couple things….

I remember someone going on one bills live when construction started, talking about how they engineered the new stadium to block the wind. I'm sure this new stadium will be lights years better in the elements, for the fans and the team

Yeah but it's still "God's Toiletbowl" like the old Dallas stadium used to be.  Needed a dome.

It gets a lot of laughs and eye rolls from the dome crowd, but “wind confusion” technology is a thing. Also, they’ve adjusted the orientation of the stadium/field — no doubt to address weather/environmental conditions as well. 
 

They hire engineers to do this stuff for a reason.

I am visiting Buffalo this weekend on a nostalgia trip and went to Highmark today. The sight of the new stadium is quite incredible. Having seen the the flyover videos and real life ground level view, I think it's going to be quite incredible when it's ready.

I was driving by a few months ago and took pics of the new stadium. Standing in the street next to the new stadium and looking over to the old one, seemed funny in comparison.

 

I love the old stadium though. Great sight lines, history.  Looking forward to the new one though!

I was wondering about how the stadium is oriented wrt to the prevailing wind vs the sun - assume they took both into account.  One thing I was thinking is that you would be much better off buying tickets on the side of the prevailing wind - on the other side even if you are under the edge of the canopy the rain/snow will blow on you.  On the side with the wind at your back you will definitely be protected if you are on the edge of the canopy or probably even a little over.

The new stadium is somewhat perpendicular to the old stadium. Not quite 90 degrees. So now the wind hits more of the visitor sideline than the end zone. But with the canopy and so-called wind confusion panels on the outside, it should not be windy inside the bowl. 

 

As for the sun, it will travel from home sideline to visitors.
