If that happens to be the case I wonder if the Buffalo Bills are the first event or if they are going to schedule some concerts before the Bills preseason?

They use them to promote their work and progress. Unfortunately on a project as large as an NFL stadium it’s hard to pick an angle whose sight line won’t get blocked by the actual building at some point. When that happens we typically ask them to move it every few months. Edited February 13 by SoCal Deek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills do the same, then fans will start paying their PSL fee in 2025 before the stadium opens in 2026. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they haven't settled on either the PSL or seating prices yet. I'm hoping the numbers are similar to that fan survey a year or two ago. I think they will be pretty close to those prices from the fan survey. Maybe add 10% for general inflation and then another 10% because they were over budget from their projected numbers. Probably won’t be more than 20% difference. Which is still a ton. But I was pretty much expecting that from the start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the stadium in Tottenham and I guess this is similar. I sat in the bottom of the upper deck which was great. I meant to walk to the top to see how it felt, but beer and football got in the way. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get progressively steeper the higher up you go. If not, the stadium cross section becomes very shallow and wide…like the Rose Bowl if you’ve ever been.

SoCal Deek Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 1 hour ago, Augie said: I was trying to compare the new vs the old upper decks. It could just be an illusion, idk. The new ones will be steeper. They’re encircling the stadium with a tighter diameter. 1 hour ago, UConn James said: “Covered by roof canopy.” Good thing rain and snow always fall at a perfectly perpendicular 90* to the ground. 🙄 Not this again. Just like the sun casts a shadow that isn’t straight down so does the roof cast a rain or snow ‘shadow’. So while one side will see rain hit the first few rows that are technically under the cover on one side, the other side will receive the equivalent but opposite benefit. Choose your seats accordingly. 👍 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
