Bills “Rally Day”(farewell to the stadium

[gobills404]

More expensive than it should be but I like that people who can’t afford game tickets will have a chance to enjoy the stadium one last time.

haha I have a "Piece of history" in the form of a plexiglass hockey puck with some of the original Rich stadium Turf that they repurposed when  a new field was installed.

I have the same thing😂

I wonder if season ticket holders will be able to buy their own seat?

You have to buy a seat license for the rite to buy youre seat.

lol I meant the actual physical seat from Highmark. Upon demolition might they sell off such items? I'm probably wrong

Yes, they plan to auction off the seats, turf, and signage.   Want a piece of Highmark Stadium after the season ends?

Ten thousand purchasers, generating $350 thousand, would get a 100 foot yacht from Naples to New Orleans and back.  So I’m told ….  a two to three day trip each way.

Do people really want their seats? I have so many memories in that stadium. In many ways, it’s my happy place. At the same time, I can’t wait for the new stadium and have no desire to have some crappy plastic chairs at my house. What are you supposed to do with it? Are we supposed to just look at them and be like, “remember the snow game?”

I would say there will definitely be a market for them.  You can still find many old seats from the Aud proudly hanging up in bars, gyms, mancaves etc. all over WNY.

If the price is reasonable I would like to get my seat however I'm not expecting the prices to be reasonable at all so not sure if I would pull the trigger on my seat.

Oh I’m not denying there’s a market for them. I’d probably talk myself into getting mine. Lol, it’s more “why?”
 

I can see a sports bar wanting to display them. I was at Tully’s the other day and I’m 90% sure they have old stadium seats in there somewhere. Maybe Bennigan’s will pull down some upside down unicycles and replace them with conjoined plastic chairs?

 

It’s the personal ownership that I’m struggling with. I’ll probably get excited and waste money on mine. I’ll bring it home and put it in the garage until I “find a better place for it.” It’ll sit there for about 3 months before I start getting questions about “what do you plan to do with that?” After another 3 months I’ll start getting asked, “why don’t you put that in your office or to the curb?” Obviously, I’m not going to put it in my office because my office is nice and throwing a couple of random plastic chairs in the corner does nothing to elevate the aesthetic. Another 3 months will go by and the pressure mounts to get them out of the garage. After 3 more months, the walls have caved in and something will have to give. I’ll give them both to my developmentally disabled cousin who will think that they’re amazing. After 2 months my aunt will be all over him to get rid of them because they don’t go in his apartment. 3 days will pass and he will sell them on Facebook marketplace for $32 a piece. I’ll have to drive over to his house, load them in the car, and drive to a Wegman’s parking lot to meet the buyer so that my cousin can collect $64. He will put that $64 towards Madden ‘28.

That's a pretty well thought out and in depth analysis of your potential purchase.  In your case I would avoid buying the seat at all costs!  I have a little Bills bar/mancave in my basement and that would be the only reason I would consider buying mine.  But even then I am struggling to find a spot down there where I would be able to display it as I am already pretty full.  If I didn't have a spot at my house to display it definitely wouldn't be worth buying especially for how much I anticipate them costing.  But yeah my gym has a couple seats from the Aud on display and there's def a few bars/restaurants in WNY that have old Aud seats and it is always pretty cool to see.  I am sure we will see the same thing with the seats from Highmark once the stadium is done

I’ve seen people put a couple of stadium chairs in their man cave or sports watching room as a memento…but I also get your point.

 

Can’t wait for the new barn to open.

Even that I struggle with. They are just taking up space. Lol, no one is going to sit there if there’s a couch or recliner next to them. Maybe if you converted them into some sort of coffee table or something I could see it. It make no sense. Lol, this is coming from someone that is looking a full sized Buffalo Bills video game sitting in my entertaining room (the ones that McKenzie bought for the guys). I spent a lot of money on that nonsense and barely ever use it but I had to have it. 🤣🤣

[LabattBlue]

I can see being able to buy a random seat, but does anyone think they can buy the actual seat they had for seasons?😂 

 

IMO no way are the folks in charge of removal, are keeping track of section and row as they remove the seats. 
 

PS and no you won’t be able to remove it yourself 😂
