Rubes Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Pretty cool looking. Not sure what time of day this was taken, but from the look of the shadows on the items on the field, it looks to be close to mid-day. Maybe this will give people a sense of what parts of the stadium will likely be in the shade for a normal 1PM game (with the understanding that this is mid-summer with the sun almost directly overhead). 5 3 4 Quote

Thrivefourfive Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Ah Jesus, Already a snow dusting on the roof. Anyone else think it looks huge and fears they’ll never fill it? 😂 1 Quote

I p'd a little just watching that clip, I would have had to wipe if I was up that high ! Last time I was that high I was a junior in high school ... 🤩 1 1 Quote
SoCal Deek Posted July 12 Posted July 12 I’m still curious about what the scaffolding ‘dance floor’ hanging from the underside of the roof. There’s way more of it now than before when it was just along one sideline. 1 Quote

Bills!Win! Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Why couldn’t the overhangs be larger like the Seahawks stadium? 2 Quote

The Seattle stadium's roof design isn’t a cantilever overhang at all. It’s actually two huge trusses that span the length of the stadium and the roof bears on the them. And if I recall, the end zones are not covered. The closest design is of course Tottenham. There, the remaining seats are covered with a somewhat lighter translucent paneling which wouldn’t work with the heavy WNY snow loads. 3 2 Quote
Richard Noggin Posted July 13 Posted July 13 Hoping they were looking across the field, so that was the visitor's side in the sun. Can anyone confirm? (Couldn't hear audio so unsure if that is mentioned in any "narration.") Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted July 13 Posted July 13 When it opens people are gonna talk/complain about how steep it is......most people dont go to other stadiums and all the new ones are steep like this. You can see it in some of the mages/movies. A few people will need one less beer, LOL Quote
