In addition to the ‘family section’ for non drinkers they should have included a special big seat fat-ass section for the fans who needed a seatbelt extender on their drive to the stadium. 

Now now...lets play nice in the sand box......not all of us are Joe Weider!!

Terry sold shares to finance his part of this new stadium and these are the HS auditorium seats we get?

Those little arms on the chairs are useless other than giving you a hip pointer.

Saw a vid on Bills’ site with ceremonial install of first stadium seat by its PSL-owning season ticket holder. 
Maybe hard to really tell, but in the video the seat looked small and like it was made of cheap, thin plastic. 
I thought the downsized seating capacity was partially attributed to having bigger, wider seats (bigger people in 2025). I suspect there’s not much leg room with steeper angles.
 For $2B I expected a little better quality. 
 

I never expect quality when it comes to the bills 😉

Yes but this thread is not an example of that. Seats and bathrooms are likely the top 2 amenities fans that I personally think about when judging a stadium. 

The view is pry first.  For me second is are their cup holders?

When did standing for the entire game become a thing?

We will have to get used to an era in 10 years where Josh Allen won’t be the QB. We will have to sit eventually

Normally, I want to pump the brakes on immediate, negative reactions to limited evidence, but it's REALLY DIFFICULT not to be at least a little disappointed in the tight seating dimensions revealed in that short video. Especially given my already-in-motion financial obligation to seats that will likely be identical. Those people were packed in like Allegiant Air or Frontier Airlines economy seating. 

 

One important mitigator: standing seems to CREATE more overall space to move and breathe. Different fan heights, and shoulders at an angle facing midfield, allow more 3-dimensionial room to spread out. 

 

Good to know they're keeping it COZY in the 100s damn.

An airline is the next logical stadium naming rights choice with little seats like these IMO. 

Frontier stadium where even Kincaid will fit comfortably. Those were definitely some skinny 16" seats.

well, if your ass is too big for the seat, stand up!!

As it is in any stadium seating there won't be much elbow room they never seem to put that into the equation ...

those seats look exactly like the seats in every new stadium I have been in.  Just like AT&T stadium and the rangers new ballpark here in dfw.

 

Yeah but these should be twice as wide and lined with vegan leather...

What I noticed is that this wasn’t just a ceremonial test fit. If you look closely you’ll notice that they have the framework for the entire section’s seats already installed on the precast concrete risers. It’s pretty amazing considering there’s over a year left if the construction schedule.

I was looking at that and saying "they need to install 60,000 of those suckers!"  And I'm sure some are more elaborate.

It sounds like a lot but I can assure you it goes really fast. That’s why I’m amazed to see them going in so early. What the construction team is generally concerned about is breakage if they’re installed too early. It’s the same with all finish materials like glass, cabinets, etc.
