Congrats Bills fans we will play in Buffalo another 50yrs. 

They have an out in 2055 as per the contract. So they are tied to that stadium for 29 years. They can also pay a $1 billion relocation fee at any time I believe

If when they put the first shovel in the ground, and a bloody knife and a black bloody glove is dug up, Ima scream yo.

I went thru this with the Jets when MetLife was being built and they were still playing at Giants Stadium. Parking was affected. My advice is to get their as early as possible. Traffic and parking will be a pain in the ass. No way to avoid it.

 

Agreed, which is why I'm not sure why Raccuia said that parking won't be affected very much for this upcoming season.  If it's not affected much, it would seem to me that they wouldn't have begun construction until after the season, but they're starting now.

Isn't the new stadium going to be built right across the street from the current stadium? There is no way traffic and parking won't be affected with 70,000 people showing up on game days.

That's political speak for "you're still going to be able to park in the lots that are available but there is going to be significantly less parking"

Great news! 
 

It’s nice to know that the Bills should for sure be in Buffalo for decades to come now. I’m also excited to see the new stadium! 
 

Now they just need to get the Sabres a new arena, or at the very least heavy renovations to the **** hole KeyBank center…

YEP! I am old too.. Rockpile in 1960 as an 8 yr old, then the "new" stadium in 1973, (after living thru the Lancaster Dome BS), then after Ralph died, a bit of concern (I.E Bon Jovi) feels great to exhale..so happy.. 

Hear you.  I was 13, 8, but same story.  I'm happy for the fans of the future.  I hope I get to see one game there.

I just wish the canopies stuck out a bit further.  I love the looks of soccer stadiums that use that.  similar to hard rock stadium.


I honestly wonder if a larger canopy could hold up to an epic snowfall.

From what Im been told the only parking that will greatly impacted is ecc lot and  lot 4. ECC and lot 4 will be fenced for stadium workers parking. A lot of new stuff construction wise will be in Buffalo. It’ll be like trying to get in a job in NYC. Unless you have a badge you can’t get in. Turn styles will be in place. Also it’ll be mandatory to wear the new rock climbing style hard hats. Everyone will look like window lickers 😂😂😂

The best Bills news I could possibly hear, fantastic.  Now, about making the design not look like a bedpan...

 

Yeah the exterior aesthetics really do leave a lot to be desired (to put it politely).

My slightly off beat take... 

 

Like the stadium.

 

Love the three giant buffalo.

Going to the games this fall is going to be an absolute mess. I actually canceled my season tickets for this reason. 

Voluntarily giving up seniority right before the biggest season ticket holder seat shuffle since 1972 is an interesting choice.

I hear ya, what's interesting is that they said that parking's only going to be minimally impacted this fall.  I'm not sure how that's possible as LOT 4 would seem to be all but entirely unavailable if they're really going to begin the "big digging," as will be some of the RV Lot too.  I mean they've at least gotta fence if all off for safety reasons.  

 

Should be interesting to be sure.  Might be the better season to hit some road games.  

 

No more RV/Camper lot...

Wait until they find the Indian bones that are likely under the site. It'll delay it for years and the curse will go on. 

I actually found bones on a construction site one time a few years back. I got to hold the jaw bone of a Native American in my hands. Super cool! The archeologist said it was something like 600 hundred years old. Turns out the site was a village, not a burial ground, so with the help of the local tribe we re-interned the bones on the property and made an educational walking path out of the location. Luckily it didn’t delay our construction all that much.

Define “immediately “

It’s kinda like a saying I learned down south as a young Jar Head, “ I’ll be with you directly”  which meant, when I’m done doing what I got going on now…, 😁👍
