For Fun - Let's design a new stadium for Buffalo

[Pride]

Just for fun.. stay away from politics... money restrictions, etc..

What would YOU want in a new stadium if it were built in/around Buffalo?

[RockStar36]

Hard to say. I like the Ralph. No matter what, no dome!

[T-Long]

I want a bigger scoreboard and better sound system. After moving to the West Coast in 2006, I've attended a game in Oakland and worked the sidelines in the Packers 49ers game, and the way they use the sound system to get the crowd pumped up was great. It was nice and loud and a lot different than at the Ralph.

The only time they get the fans pumped up is after the Bills score with "Shout". I would like to see more of that stadium participation.

[BillsNick]

For one, It needs to be a bit smaller, as far as seats go, more like 65k.

Also, a retractible roof so that the stadium can be used year round, helping the Buffalo economy.

[Stewie]

I want to have a corkscrew style roller coaster running the the perimeter of the roof.. and hidden microphones and speakers to amplify the noise

[Gunzlingr]

A trap door near the endzones, so opposing teams will fall into it if they get a break away.

[blackonyx89]

How about a stadium with partial covering and a big hole on top like Texas Stadium? The cover will protect the fans and the Bills can still play in the elements.

Gallows for the fish.

Gallows for the fish.

And a moat. LOL!

A Waterfront Stadium with all 65,000 seats being of the luxury/club/premium variety where the face value of all tickets is $1.00. Then all of the $50 per seat/per game and up PSLs and luxury box fees would not have to be shared with greedy bastards like Danny Snyder and Jerry Jones.

[DolfanTom]

I think you would do well to keep it to 65-70K seats. But - just to be different and creative, why not have a standing-room only area like NE has, but make the tix like $10-15. Make room for approx 5K people to stand.

Would be totally different and would give an opportunity for people strugging w/ $$ to attend more games.

Of course it would have the other ammenities that any modern stadium would have, etc. Maybe have like a huge Blue Buffalo atop the new HD scoreboard?

I'm a fin fan, but I like goign to games in Buffalo. And as an Upstate NYer, I get my say! :dance:

My $0.02 anyways.

[The King]

Id like it to be in Boston so I wouldnt have to drive 7hours.

Nice! If I had to change one thing,it's the segmented covering. I guess you wanted to give it a 21st Century look. Still sweet nonetheless.

Get R Done!!!!

Geisha girls for the Club seats. I pay enough.

If she can make Bloddy Marys and give good "massage", I tip well.

Nice! Obviously the first pic is not to scale (it would be much larger, parking lots etc), but we all get the idea. That's precisely how I envision the Bills next stadium. I'm not sold on a retractable roof. If it can close, it just may never get opened, but it's much better then a ******ed dome ...hands down.

Good work Ghost!

[RedEyE]

How about a stadium built right on the water of lake Erie? That could be wicked cool.

It could contain walkways that connect the land side parking lots and tailgating areas etc..., but the stadium itself is built on or above the water.

Nothing like that has been done before.

[X-Era]

Just for fun.. stay away from politics... money restrictions, etc..

What would YOU want in a new stadium if it were built in/around Buffalo?

Id like to have it look like a bearded clam from the goodyear blimp and then have it be able to dock with our new stadium through the roof "slit"

[bills_7]

Rogers Center? aka Sky Dome :couch:

Its in and "around" Buffalo lol

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

I built one on Madden for the BILLS in franchise mode it's called War Memorial StadiumII/The RockpileII it's a rotating roof stadium and seats 70,107 it looks something like Miller Park home of the Milwaukee Brewers. With a underground parking garage and it's located where the Aud is now.

A big drunk tank which fans in stands could see them but those in drunk tank could not see or hear the game.
Set up so Bills and opposing team players came in from opposite sides of stadium
Partial cover over top of stadium so the cheap seats would not be the worst seats.
The Red Zones back!
Set up so Jills do not get soaked and heat vents in floor so they do not need to wear parksa.
Parking away from the stadium with express tram to parking lots far from stadium so roads due not back up.
Seat rows severely slanted so those who jave bad legs and want to sit can still see.

Attending a game by boat...that's cool.

Tailgating on the lake before a game...that would be a first!

Exactly! That would be awsome!

I am assuming you have never been to a game at Heinz Field, ferrys galore. And I am not just talking about boats.

The "New Ralph" is one of the most feared stadiums in all of sports. The fans are all crammed in on top of one another, singing SHOUT! every bleedin’ chance they get. It’s enough to drive the opposing team and its fans absolutely insane. Thanks to recent renovations, it’s also gotten the leg up on the competition in terms of capacity, as it now holds over 90,000 Bills Fans. The cold of Western New York plays a big part in the success of the Bills, as few teams can simulate an environment quite like The "New Ralph".

I want each seat to have one of those NASA Space Shuttle type pissers. You know a cup attached to a hose with suction? That way I could just hold it up to my wang and take a leak without having to get up.

Oh, and a smoking section...
