New Bills store opens...renovations ONLY 90% DONE.

[DetDannyWilliams]

We're also looking tonight at the new and improved Ralph Wilson stadium that will welcome fans for the first time Saturday. The team says the renovations are 90 percent done. Inside the stadium, new concessions, seats renovations and the creation of the "monumental staircase" are all finished. Some work still needs to be done.
The back of the new scoreboard on the Abbott Road side of the stadium won't be lit up until the season home opener on September 14th.
"Some of the graphic treatments that will appear on the concourse and over at the concession stands some of that work won't be done until after we finish the preseason but for the most part when fans come here on Saturday they're going to see a brand new Ralph Wilson stadium," said Marc Honan, Chief Marketing Officer of the Buffalo Bills.
Today the new bills store opened at it's new location on the Abbott Road side of the stadium. The Bills' nicknamed the store "the front door to the stadium."
The old Bills store, which was at the Bills field house, was two thousand square feet whereas the new store is four times larger at eight thousand square feet

NO EXCUSE!...workers at the Harbor Center worked right through the winter to get the Harbor Center open! they were up on the steel beams 100 stories high and even when the City of Buffalo got socked by winter storms they were STILL up there working.

You should have been there for the inaugural game in 1973.

It wasn't pretty.

What's with the huge pictures we have to look at over and over of Alex Baldwin and everyone else. What purpose does this serve?

They worked on the Ralph right through winter as well. It will be open for the first preseason home game.

You obviously are young and have never dealt with some unions.

I drove past there last week.

It looked like all that was missing was the landscaping.

No kidding.

I thought this this was a joke when I opened it.

people ***** and worry about the weirdest things.

As far as bills fans go, all that matters is that the beer concession stands are done.

And the food concessions as well, people get hungry by half time.

I still say, if a club is worried about sell-outs, announce a half-price-for-the-first half deal.

I don't think sell outs are a big concern at this point.

With over 47,000 season tickets sold I expect all but the last game or two to be close to sold out already.

Sell-outs are important. There are pacts between local stations, their local revenue (they rightly pump up their rates for NFL showing) and the NFL and the networks. Not haivng a sell-out means no local tv exposure in that local market.

What would happen to the Bucs, if the locals decided not to show any games? They wont, but if they did and stuck to it, the non-coverage would in time make the NFL Bucs fade from memory

The Packers game is about sold out. The Chiefs, Jets, and Browns games have a way to go.

A few years ago, I don't think a single home game was televised in Tampa.

Lucky for me, I can get the Ft Myers channels OTA.
