I dont even use them because waiting in a long line to use the escalator, just to get off and wait in another long line to use the next escalator is a pain. 1 Quote

Jauronimo Posted May 5 Posted May 5 2 hours ago, PonyBoy said: They must have escalators I would think in the new stadium yes? It wouldn't surprise me at all. But they are major choke points and in my experience, leaving via escalator requires patience. Less of an issue at home but I have nightmares about leaving NRG after 5 straight losses to the Texans and getting subjected to 30 minutes of abuse trying to exit. 1 Quote
Just Jack Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Lincoln Financial (Eagles) has escalators, but right next to them are ramps. I'll take the ramps, it may take longer to walk up, but it's never crowded like it is on the escalators. Quote

Average size of a seat is roughly 21 inches. 4 walkways lets say 5 feet across. That would be 130-140 feet? Which comparing to other stadiums is the size of Hard Rock. Which makes it a little less wide but taller Screen Sizes around NFL 3 1 Quote
Steptide Posted May 6 Posted May 6 Sorry if I missed it somewhere in this thread, when is the stadium supposed to be completely finished? Quote

stuvian Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Some of my best memories are there. It really was my happy place 3 Quote
zow2 Posted May 7 Posted May 7 The speed at which they are demolishing the old Rich Stadium, before even opening the new stadium is interesting. Makes me think the place was very much in disrepair and the organization probably breathed a sigh of relief that nothing fell apart during last season! Quote
TFBillsfan Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Assuming they are relocating the Ralph Wilson statue to the new stadium? Surprised they havent removed it yet from its current location. Quote
Wacka Posted May 7 Posted May 7 (edited) That was the area I sat at the last game I was there. What will take a lot longer is the below ground section and the filling in of the hole. They will not just be throwing the debris in there. From seeing other demolitions they pulverize the concrete and remove the rebar and metal beams. From someone who knows what they will do, they will be putting a layer of dirt, then a layer of pulverized slate from the pile that is currently at ECC, compacting that and then another layer, and so forth. That is to make sure that there is a solid base where the old Highmark was. Edited May 7 by Wacka Quote

Without him there is no Buffalo Bills. 1 1 Quote
