    Money spent on obsolete stadium was mostly for income gains, not fan enjoyment

    The new scoreboard is strictly for running ads all game long, it's the exact same TV size for viewing as before.

    New store in an obsolete stadium when you can buy the same merchandise online? Wonderful new income opportunity for the team.

    Smell of fresh paint in the somewhat wider hallways ?? Well, there's something for the fans.

It's a protection mechanism.

      You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

      Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

      The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

      "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

      "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

      "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

      Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

      "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

        I liked the changes though my first thought was you don't get a lot for $130 million these days.

          But they do play loud music between plays so that the PA announcer is drowned out. Maybe the less you know, the better? Oy vey!

                    Re: Money spent on obsolete stadium was mostly for income gains, not fan enjoyment

                    Yea, I gotta admit, I wasn't terribly impressed.

                    And one thing I thought was funny, was that the sportsbar is at my section, at the bottom of the old administration building.

                    30 or 40 beer taps....right across from the no alcohol seats.

                    And they don't even serve pop.

                    Sorry, I thought that was comical.

                      If they have the same turf in front of the store as on the field, I hope they are well covered for slip-and-fall injuries.

                        of course. When there's a literal sea of feces floating through the tunnels it makes some people not want to come back.

                            Combined with the feces on the field.

                              A wise man would park in the lots and sell Depends out of his trunk.
