MJS Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Domes are too loud for my ears with them blasting all that sound in a confined space. So actually, I'm soft because I want the open air stadiums to save my ears and not have to use ear plugs. 1 Quote

I love that. Will be unique and Bills Mafia will continue to be the working mans experience during Bills games. Eagles games like many other teams will become a non intimidating wine and cheese crowd. I want a loud, rowdy, passionate, but sane Bills crowd at home games. Corporate America is slowly killing what made so many things in the USA special by pandering to the elites.  I guess I am not a wuss like many others on here. The partial roof and height of the field is going to eliminate most of the elements as is.  Dome only made sense downtown. Yeah … I’m a wuss because I don’t want to watch a football game the same way I sit in a tree stand in late November for hours … I wish I could be as tough as you 😂 1 Quote

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted July 27 Posted July 27 22 hours ago, Breakout Squad said: I personally love that Bills football will be outdoors for decades to come. Beautiful September and October fall games and classic winter matchups. The 49ers snow game was incredible.  I know I won’t change anyone’s opinion or anything. Not calling anyone soft individually. I just think outdoor football is better. As a former long time season ticket holder, I recall just as many October games in 50 degrees and rain/wind … those idyllic Norman Rockwell October days are more scarce than our imaginations would let us believe 1 1 Quote

The only new stadium I’ve been in is Mercedes Benz Stadium, it is nice, it’s not just seats, concessions and rest rooms. There are amenities, you can sit at a table and eat and see the field. It just felt more comfortable. it used to be in person vs a 17 inch black and white tv  the equation is wildly different now Quote

I know what you mean though. I remember the season opener against the Colts (Rex Ryan’s 1st year) and that weather was crap. But then you get games in November and it’s 70 degrees. Gotta love WNY Edited July 27 by Breakout Squad 2 Quote
Rockpile233 Posted July 27 Posted July 27 If you prefer an indoor environment for football and would have liked to see a roof fine, but save the terrible arguments about it being a missed economic opportunity for the region. Cat’s been out of the bag for a while how limited of an impact stadiums make.  Securing a new home for the team on a budget was a rare win for local leadership in my opinion. 1 1 Quote

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Wondering how many here who prefer their football outdoors in the elements move their TV and recliner outside during fall/winter games? 😂 3 Quote

Mrbojanglezs Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Such a missed opportunity that we didn't build a roof. Could have been used year round for events and concerts. 1 1 Quote

I'm excited to see how it will be open-air, but the seats and corridors will be covered. Quote
