TERRY IS RALPH! HOW THEY HELL ARE THEY GOING TO KEEP THE RAIN OUT AND CONFUSE THE WIND WITH NO SIDES ON THIS THING!?! Am I doing it right? Aren't they building another side? I only see one side!

They want to be sure to leave enough room for a running track in there, then if the Bills ever leave they can have track & field events! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the stadium is in Orchard Park, NY and not covered, the wind will be a MAJOR factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've read from the engineers is that it is being built to block the wind and that it'll be nothing like the current stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire new stadium is taller and much more enclosed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we are a year later and still nothing They were hoping they'd win a Super Bowl before then so they could justify making the fee higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 20 hours ago, BaaadThingsMan said: This place is going to be tremendously unaffordable Honestly once Allen retires and the bills suck again I think they could have a very hard time selling out the stadium. Buffalo is too small of a market to support a bad team with high prices. Yes they sold out games during the drought years. But tickets were dirt cheap and people treated it like a party. Tickets will be much more expensive now. Plus the at home viewing experience is much better, and I think people are less willing to sit in garbage weather nowadays. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s probably because they chinced out and literally copied the main blueprints for Tottenheim and because it’s a soccer field it’s larger. Pegula is cheap, couldn’t even pay for a new design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
