Re: New stadium for the Bills in the future?
We've been trying to get a bridge built here for 15 years without success. I'll believe it when I see it.
1.4 Billion in this area ? Looks like a retractable dome and a dome would be the only way it could succeed.
I bet I'll be dead before they break dirt.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

A retractable dome is essentially a dome because it will never be open in bad weather. It cedes the advantage to our opponents, especially Miami.
I also don't see any parking lots for tailgating in that mock-up.
Also, if Buffalo gets a stadium that costs more than $600 million or so, say hello to PSL's, which means saying goodbye to probably 10k season ticket holders who won't fork over the dough.

72000 people and look at the photo... wheres the parking? Wheres the tailgate?
It would be sweet and being on the harbor is perfect. I just don't see the real estate to actually do it.

$600 millions is a lot of money for somebody to front. The new stadium HAS to be retractable roof and honestly if it takes PSL's and limited tailgating to get the Bills to stay in Buffalo that's something local fans may have to swallow. You're talking about 10,000 new jobs to the area for at least five years. Now it will never get approved but that's a different story.COMING SOON...

That will KILL this team, as the tailgating is what has kept people going to the games even when the team blows (which has been constant).
That being said, we probably already gave this issue more time than it's worth. The article said they haven't reached out to the team and they haven't sought political backing yet, so right now, there is about as much reality to this as me saying I'm going to buy the Bills and appoint myself GM, DraftBoy director of scouting and Coach Sal as head coach.
