Royale with Cheese Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 They can save money by not building any bathrooms. Let fans piss in PBR tall boys. Problem is that by taste, you're not going to know which one is the beer or piss and could get them mixed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concourses will be unbelievable. But they’ve yet to really release any good photos or video of the new stadium IMO, which is odd. Maybe still finalizing stuff and making changes.

The stadium was nice without being too elaborate and it looked like a place where football was played. I’m sure the new stadium will be a great experience, but I find the exterior to be ugly as sin. It ain’t no Minneapolis! But to each their own. 1 minute ago, Einstein said: Titans are getting this beatiful structure for $2.1B We are getting the toilet bowl for $1.9B Maddening. You are forgetting how those prices magically rise. We have some recent evidence of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape is literally that of a toilet bowl. The egress resembles a department store. There is no roof. It is a football-only facility. These negatives were all seen as "cost of doing business" due to saving a significant amount of money. However, now we find out that the total cost will come close to other stadiums that have a roof, are not shaped like a toilet bowl, are convertible to other entertainment, etc. It is a massive blunder and it's upsetting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 If there was any question about ticket prices or seat licenses, these cost overruns, and however much more to come, answer the questions. It's going to be costly, and the Pegulas will not simply swallow the whole cost. Even if the Pegulas eat half of it, and put the other half on the fans, that's $150 million! Ain't making that parking cars. It only can come from ticket prices. It's the classic small market dilemma - it's expensive to play in the big leagues. Bigger markets have more people with discretionary dollars, and more dollars. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Pegulas will take the whole cost of the overruns. What they're trying to do owning and running these teams is give Buffalo a big league experience. It's what they signed up for. That's an incredible commitment of personal wealth tied up in this business risk, and they may view it as the chance they took when they got into the NFL.
