My fat a$$ fits perfectly on my couch in front of my 70” TV, where I have unlimited access to cheap beer and fattening food. I love the stadium experience, but not at these out of control prices.  

One years worth of season tickets for two will pay for a new TV, couch, surround sound, buffalo bills decor and all the snacks/beer you can eat!

Not to mention having to let people scoot past as they walk back and forth up and down the aisle to go on a run for more beer, snacks or bathroom. I swear some people spend 80% of the game either in or heading back and forth to/from the concourse. Just sit down and watch the game. 

 

Then you got traffic after the game and drunken idiots all around. I'm happier at home relaxing.

First seats installed and the family who bought the seasons’ & PSLs were invited to try them out.

There’s a dedicated stadium construction thread. I just posted the YouTube video to it. Can a mod please merge this into there? @Simon?

Those do look pretty chintzy. I wonder what the expensive seats will be like.

On the plus side, it did appears to have a little more leg room than the current seats.
How does a guy with the funds to buy 6 PSLs, season tickets, parking, etc, wear a faded, vintage replica Rob Johnson jersey with a hole in it, knowing it’s a media event that’s going to be posted? 
My wife wouldn’t have let me out the front door wearing that. Was the Bills’ store on site not open for business?

It's his lucky shirt? How does the team not give him a better shirt to wear for the shoot?

Analyzing the “quality” of the new seats from a short video…ya’ll are something else.

For a stadium I'm never actually going to sit in. Yeah. We are crazy.

Signaling that he isn't a bandwagon fan. I agree with you, though.

who the hell sits while watching a game?

Comfortable seats are important at least to me. Remember those wooden seats from school in the gym? Absolutely awful. And it’s true people are larger. If the seats are crappy that would be disappointing.

In addition to the ‘family section’ for non drinkers they should have included a special big seat fat-ass section for the fans who needed a seatbelt extender on their drive to the stadium. 

That's most of the fanbase.

These seats confirm my greatest fear. I was hoping for a modern stadium with comfortable seats, a wide concourse, easily accessible bathrooms, and good concessions. If these seats are an indication, we might see more of a “basic model” stadium that doesn’t do much to upgrade the experience. 

I thought the purpose of less seats were more comfortable, wider seats. I guess I am misremembering.

[PonyBoy]

 

An airline is the next logical stadium naming rights choice with little seats like these IMO.

that guy will need to buy the seat next to him and keep it empty.  How are most of the fans going to fit in those little seats?

I was less concerned about the guy himself, and more concerned about picturing myself sitting next to the average sized dude.

No the purpose of less seats was just to make the product more exclusive.

If I’m not mistaken, aren’t those seats around the 20 and the better seats are only between the 35s?

Heck, why stop there....

 

1. Skip your vacations, instead watch a destination YouTube video

 

2. Sell that car, and bike/walk everywhere

 

3. Avoid eating out, instead cook every meal

 

Your choice, but let's not act like the prices are "out of control".  15% increase for me as a STH, which is well below the NFL norm.

 

The last couple years, I go to half the games and the profit from selling the remainder, make the math basically a wash (less gas).  With a strong team, that equation will continue to work at the new stadium- but that's not at all what I care about.  Just pointing out, the "actual cost" even with the PSL, isn't out of control

Yeah the middle of the field is a club section now.    The people criticizing the seats and the room in front of them clearly haven't been to a game in a while.   There is way less space in the hole that Ralph dug.   They'd have a panic attack.

I’m waaaay more concerned how I’m gonna piss in a tiny little urinal after 20 beers.  The troughs were very forgiving on accuracy.

I feel bad for anyone who bought a PSL…everything will be overpriced and cheap AF.
