Bills history and Trophies highlighted in new stadium? Don't know the answer

[zow2]

I’m tired of seeing many posts online about the Bills or the new stadium that are hijacked by trolls showing the Bills empty trophy case!  then a bunch of haters chime in laughing about it.  

 

My question is, did they give trophies for the 1964 and 1965 AFL Championship?  Is there a place in the new stadium that these will be displayed? I know in the Super Bowl era they award the AFC championship trophy but nobody really talks about those.  There's a lot of history in this organization and it would be cool to see an area dedicated to this.  I see this at other stadiums around the NFL.

The trophies definitely exist

Being able to ignore certain people is a critical life skill.

It’s a good point. I hope the new stadium highlights the history and successes of the organization and its not just a soulless gray concourse

Trolls? On the Internet? Places like Twitter and Facebook? Surely you jest.

I mean, it's who we are. Outside of the AFL titles. Go win one, we will enjoy more than any other fan base would. 

[Ga boy]

Will new place have a ring of fame?

Agreed we are getting a bad rap.  I mean, we don’t bust on the Jests or Browns or anything.

We don't have to... they're "self busting" so they take care of that stuff all by themselves!

Jets and Browns don’t tout themselves as Super Bowl caliber teams. That’s like busting on the disabled. At some point Bills gotta win one or this hate will continue…and justified.

First time on the internet?

It’s kind of a bummer this post has turned into a debate about trolls. I find the other part of OP’s point most interesting. An area dedicated to Bills history would be awesome, and it’s a feature many modern stadiums have. It’s one of those things that would add to the purpose of a new stadium. I’m hoping this stadium has some special touches and doesn’t feel bargain basement low effort.

We have a lot of AFC title banners though.

 

There is no replica of Thurman Thomas' MVP trophy?

There is no replica of Josh Allens' MVP trophy?

No replica of Andre Reed's penis? Dudes, back in the day, were amazed by the length.

I'd put up the following: 

 

The AFL banners.  Those were championships. 

Any MVP trophies

Any offensive/defensive/ST player of the year trophies

Ring of Fame.  Perhaps separate highlight HOF players.  

 

NOT interested in the AFC title banners.

understand your point but technically the AFC Championship title is the same thing as the AFL championship title, so why wouldn’t you include those

Good question!   I wouldn't include the AFC Championship because those are the semi-finals, whereas the AFL Championship was the league championship.

I don't know the answer, but I do hope that the new stadium pays homage to the past.  I think there ought to be trophies - or something - to recognize 2 AFL championships and 4 AFC championships.  And a mini-Hall of Fame for the Wall of Fame players.  And a pictorial display honoring the Bills mafia - our fanaticism, loyalty, and generosity.  

 

Not to mention two or three BIG bison statues out front.
