    Awaiting the latest memories of the beloved Pink endzones.

    I really like that field. Even better than the red endzones one.

    The font and outline on the endzones are amazing. Hopefully we'll be there a lot.

    Also, I love the tri-colored stripes at the 20s.

    That looks truly awesome! All they have left is the NFL logos.

    The endzones aren't flush with the ground, i.e. there are pockets of air/tenting of the material. The rest of the field doesn't look like that. I wonder if the "infill" will take care of that?

    Looks like the only thing that isn't flush is the lettering.... looks like the rest of the blue turf is flush with the green...

    I like the blue endzones better than I imagined. Could it be at the point the pics were taken they were just being laid in place before cutting in to the blue field and in-laying the letters?

    Hard to tell, but you're probably right. And the lettering looks like it's above the blue turf. That's not good either.

    It is bigger. It use to be between the 45-yard lines, and now is between the 44-yard lines.

    The new turf looks great, as do the new uniforms.

    We're gonna suck this year, but at least we'll look good doing it!

    The NFL wouldn't allow that.

    I still say they just haven't been cut in yet.

    What if we spent a bunch of money this year on new talent?

    Right Yardie?

    I've been watching the photos on facebook. That new field is sick! I love the end zones and can't wait to see it in person in a month or so.

    Exactly! If you look closely, you can even see little pins holding the letters in place. It was definitely NOT cut in yet.

    The Bills won't suck this year. They may not make the playoffs, but they won't suck.

    Good point. I figured they would have already been dyed or sewn-in before putting it down.
