One would hope...but Allegiant charges $65.99 (or more) for just a tour. Of course, that's Las Vegas with plenty of tourists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but everything I’ve read, heard, and been informed by multiple reps is it’s not going to play out that way. The best you’re going to get is a virtual tour. Maybe yours will happen once there’s some significant structures up, but I believe it’ll end up being too late if you plan on getting one before you e already started to make pmnts or at least committed to seats. No I think your right, I was hoping that would be the best case scenario initially but I can already tell they aren't going to waste any time getting their hands on people's $$$....Those greedy bastards!

Supposedly they are limiting season tickets to 50K. If they don't get too greedy on PSL prices they will all sell out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I just don’t think that’s gonna be the case. We will see soon enough though. The process should be starting soon. I’ve received multiple emails saying it will be this summer. Just now, Doc Brown said: Yeah. Even rich people like me who like to interact with the plebs once in a while don't want to sit in the elements. I'd buy seasons if it was a dome but after suffering through that '07 Giants home game.....forget about it. Omg that 07 Giants game was possibly the worst game I’ve ever been too. Nothing like sideways rain at about 39° with 40+ mph winds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) From today's BN... A big part of that will be providing for season ticket holders an early look inside the new $1.54 billion stadium and how and where each of these fans will fit into it. Since it is impossible to do that in person for a facility that won’t be fully constructed until 2026, much of it will be accomplished through a stadium fan interaction center, the Stadium Experience, currently under construction in an open space at the Walker Center in Williamsville. It is expected to open by the end of the summer. The Bills had initially said it would open in the spring. The invitation-only center will be a place where season ticket holders can custom design their experience at the new stadium. https://buffalonews.com/business/local/want-a-seat-at-the-new-bills-stadium-new-virtual-reality-center-will-give-fans/article_4caac752-0464-11ee-8bea-83457be204f1.html?utm_source=buffalonews.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletter-templates%2Flocal%2Fbills&utm_medium=PostUp&lctg=4131090&tn_email_eh1=ed71e5595fa602584e1e21b223f584b3beb0e25f Edited June 9, 2023 by LabattBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullBuchanan Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 On 6/8/2023 at 7:51 AM, SoMAn said: I meant I disagree with your assessment that you miss details. For me, details are missed when I can’t see the entire field (as I can in-person) and the TV field of vision often doesn’t allow us to see pass patterns develop or where the receivers are. Only on replays with different angle do we get that perspective. I want to see every player on the field to see where the play is going. TV focuses only on the ball when it’s live. That's not debatable though. You miss all of the details live - or the micro view. You don't get to see the details of a toe-tap, the intricacies of the trench battles, the placement of the football, whether or not a player was down before a turnover, etc on the opposite end of the field from where you're sitting. What you get in exchange is the macro view. You get to see how the safety was ballhawking the whole play before the sudden interception, how a receiver was wide open down the field, how a corner passes off responsibility of his man to the second level. You get to see more X's and O's and the expense of knowing more about what actually happened on the play. It's why it's not uncommon to hear fans reacting in a stadium in a way completely opposite to people at home. They're relying on limited information and a jumbotron to tell them what happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those details are more important to the viewer, their best value is watching on TV. Trying to replicate ‘the live experience’ is the goal of all that virtual crap with Wi games and goggles, etc. For all those digital efforts, there’s still nothing that compares to the real thing. Is a music concert shown on the best TV screen with a superior sound system anywhere near the experience of being in an arena or auditorium with a top act? Negative. Today, you can have the best of both worlds by being in the stands and having your mobile device in your hand for replays if it’s that important. I’d rather be taking in all the sights, sounds, and smells of real life. Given a choice I’ll delay any dependence on a video screen when I’m tethered to an oxygen tank, an afghan blanket on my lap, as I fart Ensure into the cushion of my Lazy-Boy recliner.

You come off sounding jaded and a behind the times here. The bold backs it up. A top tier sound system absolutely can reproduce live music experiences. That's why people spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on audio equipment. I love live music, but I can go to a concert or a movie theater in my living room any day of the week I prefer the best experience possible. So give all that "virtual crap" over watching the game 100 yards away through a set of binoculars any day. I get in a live game once every 5-10 years and that's more than plenty. I'll save the live sports for a minor league baseball game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new stadium being built with games still being played at the current stadium. Less parking spots and traffic on game days will be more difficult. It will be a pain in the ass until the current stadium is taken down. The front lawn lots can charge 10X during the construction than what they charged before. Ca-ching! It's going to be a mess. 15 hours ago, WotAGuy said: And a piss trough They already have piss troughs (aka sinks) in the men's rooms. 17 hours ago, BobbyC81 said: Beer taps at every seat?
