Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)

Anyone just see that FG miss in Pittsburg by Boswell. Ooof. His plant foot took out like a 12" swath of dirt and went 4" deep. The middle of the field looks like it has 4 blades of grass per square foot; otherwise just soft sand. Broadcasters said they were told earlier that the sod is scheduled to be replaced after this game.

 

It's only mid-October and it's like some took a rototiller to it.

 

Hope our turf holds up better than this and wondering what if anything will be different. Real grass in Buffalo will be an experiment.

I wonder how much revenue the Bills will bring in once they start selling items from the current stadium? The turf, the seats, etc. Someone will probably even buy the men’s troughs!

The heating and drainage of our field is state of the art, built from the ground up - I imagine it is a step above theirs.

 

Also AI says having to share with U of Pitt causes issues

Overuse and frequent resodding: The field is used by both the Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers, and the heavy use often necessitates multiple resoddings throughout the fall. In the past, this led to a poorly draining, layered field that was prone to muddy conditions

They’re actually hand washing stations, but you wouldn’t know it on game day..🤷‍♂️
