I’ve been to some places that were crazy steep up top, and it can be a real bother. I can’t freak out about until I know how much of a factor it is. No point in me making up worries that may not exist. Just now, PBF81 said: Yeah, it's interesting, the first time I went to one of those stadiums it was a little concerning, but as with you no doubt you get used to it. The view more from the top than the side is also a plus. I remember the Oranges in the old Aud. Those rows were steep! But one advantage to steep rows for us tall folk is more leg room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the ones they included in the survey like this option: A seat located End Zone on the Mezzanine Level Seat Coverage: Significant - Level of Seating Overhead Heating: Above Seats Annual Season Ticket Price per Seat: $900 Personal Seat License (One-Time Fee Per Seat): $1,400 Indeed, those would be coveted seats no doubt. The lowest priced heated seats according to their survey are that one and these; Location: Mezzanine level end zone Coverage: Significant Heating: Above seats Annual price per seat: $820 One-time PSL: $2,100 Location: Mezzanine level corner Coverage: Significant Heating: Above seats Annual price per seat: $1,090 One-time PSL: $1,750 After those, the next "reasonably priced" heated seats in their survey were these ... Location: Mezzanine level between 40-yard lines Coverage: Significant Heating: Above seats Annual price per seat: $2,080 One-time PSL: $5,950 Edited May 12 by PBF81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in me making up worries that may not exist. I was in New Orleans a few years ago for the Thanksgiving game. Near the top. Probably 20-30 rows from the last seat in the house. Boy were they steep. I was worried walking up the steps. Walking down them. And god forbid if I stood up with any sort of quickness I would have tumbled for 8 minutes until my lifeless body hit the turf on the Bills sideline. not to mention we were so far away you could barely make out numbers on the jerseys. Not a pleasurable experience imo. 6 minutes ago, PBF81 said: Indeed, those would be coveted seats no doubt.

It’s the last one you listed that makes me curious. Because as some have said that have been to the experience. They are currently in the 200-300s now and the club seats that are covered and heated are going for way more than this. Triple these prices. So I’m wondering if there is some other options coming? Or if they have vastly increased the prices (triple) from the survey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also won't believe anything that Legends puts out. They're not "Buffalo," have no affinity for the region, and probably don't care at all about WNY-ers. Why would they. It will be much more interesting once they've gone through a majority of STHs and put out info as to how many of the new seats & PSLs have sold, and where.

mrags Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 1 minute ago, Matt_In_NH said: Those PSL's are not too bad Yeah. If those seats actually exist. Depending on who you talk to. The general consensus is that the reps are telling people that the current clubs are the only option for heat and cover at the crazy 10k per PSL and $8k a ticket price. The question is, are they telling people this because it’s the truth? Or are they performing shady business practices and only saying that to sell as many of the higher priced seats that are currently available now. The survey provided these options, but because we have no actual factual info on the stadium because the team is keeping things hush hush about the options after they get through the club seats, we don’t know if these options will actually exist in the new stadium. Maybe this was a possibility before the cost overruns (many doubt that’s possible) and now they cut back on the idea. Who knows. The Bills and Legends know and they aren’t saying. And that’s the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 If we add a surcharge of say $25 per post, do you think we could scrape up a dome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be pretty desperate to pick a seat that I have to go up from the tunnel up there. Amazes me more drunks don’t just tumble to their demise.

I wasn’t even close to tipsy and I felt uneasy up there. I couldn’t imagine if I was drinking like I might at a home Bills game. man, I remember riding those escalators for like 10+ minutes getting up there. Every floor I was like, oh this must be it; but nope, kept going and going and going and going…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Wasn’t sure whether to put this in the stadium construction thread or here but since it’s about financing I chose this thread. Jacksinville’s upgrade/makeover is budgeted at $1.2 million and is a 50/50 split between the Jaguars and the City…. not the State of Florida. They also report the public funding piece to be investment, not a cost, (typical) as the newly envisioned stadium is forecasted to bring in billions over the course of the 30 year lease. So there’s that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your original post, you typed $1.2 million by mistake. I had to look to see what could they get for a million dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
