Einstein Posted August 9 Posted August 9 (edited) The best news for the players was the playing surface. The Bills opted to switch from artificial turf at the old stadium to natural grass at the new stadium. Here’s the verdict from offensive lineman Spencer Brown: “Perfect. I love it. I might sleep out here tonight, actually.” Some of the fans may not have loved the view from their seats. Consider this. Or this. Or this. Then there are the video boards. They’re small. Which prompted one person on Twitter to compare them to Michael Scott’s plasma TV. The Bills host the Panthers next Saturday for the preseason opener. The official regular-season christening happens on Thursday, September 17, when the Lions face the Bills on Prime Video. Edited August 16 by Einstein Quote

stevestojan Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Those “jumbo”trons are embarrassingly small by today’s standards. Having been to multiple stadiums around the country those are AWFUL. So-Fi has an incredible ring of Jumbotrons, as an example. 4 Quote

The video boards are obnoxious. This is about football and being in the moment. They didn’t “cheap out” it was intentional. 3 1 1 1 8 1 Quote
May Day 10 Posted August 9 Posted August 9 I've never understood the jumbotron in the round thing 3 Quote
NickelCity Posted August 9 Posted August 9 (edited) I can't imagine caring about the size of a jumbotron. It's baffling that they matter to actual football fans...I am fully in favor of them being reduced into the background Edited August 9 by NickelCity 6 5 1 1 1 Quote

The stadium is ugly The sound system sucks The sight lines are criminal The canopy is worthless The bison statues are stupid The new uniforms are an embarrassment My god, go outside or something. 5 3 6 4 22 Quote

I was driving around today listening to podcasts about the stadium and scrimmage last night. And i remembered 10 years ago while watching tyrod Taylor and Matt casell, if you told me over the next 10 years we would have a league mvp QB who is among the best players ever, something like 9 playoff runs and 5 division titles, and a brand new state of the art stadium for this team and city I would not have believed! 9 4 4 6 Quote

Gentle reminder that this was not a privately funded stadium. WE paid for it. When we spend a billion dollars, we want something up to snuff! If the Bills stroked a check for the full amount, my mouth would be shut and my opinion kept to itself. But he didn’t. We paid for part of that stadium and therefore we get an opinion on it. 8 1 7 2 Quote

Most of the seats in the upper deck have a clear view. My dad was just there last night.
