When the owners of Walmart own your team, they can afford to privately fund a new retractable roof stadium. https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/broncos-announce-historic-burnham-yard-as-preferred-site-for-privately-funded-retractable-roof-stadium-mixed-use-district Quote

It's still the public's money paying for it. Pretty sure it was already understood a new stadium was in the discussion/works etc.. a year ago at least. Now it's official. 1 hour ago, Mike in Horseheads said: Here we go again with peeps complaining about a dome, taxes and Pegula Domes suck 2 1 Quote
machine gun kelly Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Good for them, and hope they enjoy it. One of my best friends transplanted from Tampa to Denver several years ago. As far as the new Bills Stadium, I’m elated our culture will not change, but improve. Cutting out a ton of the elements, controlling wind, and a state of the art stadium is great, yet its still feels like Buffalo. 3 1 Quote

May Day 10 Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Retractable is a very silly idea. Just cover it, but a lot of glass to give the outdoor feel. These things are never open. I don't like seeing these 20-25 year old stadiums being replaced already. That makes major league sports even less sustainable in WNY. 1 1 Quote
SoMAn Posted September 10 Posted September 10 It's crazy that these NFL stadiums are being replaced after 25 years. The Georgia Dome came and went from 1992-2016. The Cleveland stadium and now the Denver stadium, neither of which are that old, are in the process of being replaced. I was half kidding in an earlier thread about in the near future starting a feesability study and the planning for the next stadium that will replace the new Highmark stadium. Maybe that tongue-in-cheek thought wasn't so far-fetched. How is it that so many college stadiums are viable and still used for 50+ years? 1 Quote

Domes suck With the Walton family as owners, it's absolutely "public money" one way or another. The Walton family grifts BILLIONS of dollars off the backs of the American working class. They scrape 2x-4x more money off the tax payers subsidizing their poverty wages every year than this stadium will cost them. 1 1 4 Quote

Redskins stadium or RFK , Meadow lands, it's crazy that they build these and then they sit empty . There is a documentary of these guys that go around and almost break into these ld stadiums and check them out it's pretty cool and some are still in really good shape and very easily could be retro'd to fit new tech and still be used .

Worth it to have the Bills in such a small market. But if you want to talk about the lack of dome and not being downtown, let's light that fire! Edited September 10 by DrDawkinstein Quote

Warcodered Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Was no big deal they probably just ground off a little dust from one of the Walton money stones....or whatever else it is people as horrendously rich as them use for currency. Quote
henry jones Posted September 10 Posted September 10 Isn't Mile High Stadium, or whatever it's called now, like 20 years old? Quote
