Russ puts an end to this. Also makes sarcastic remarks towards Buffalo. Can't stand this clown he has also ripped fans in the past for not attending Decemeber games

Russ just knows that when Ralph sells or goes to the great hall of fame in the sky, he's going to be irrelevant. He's protecting his current job since his current boss would never entertain this. Still, he's a douche.

Dome is fine by me.

Remember I am one of the few stiffs actually sitting in the freezing cold why the rest of you bums are sitting on your couches.

We suck anyways who cares about the weather advantage?

If a dome is in the future, I see no need for a retractable roof myself. I just don't think a retractable roof is worth the money.

I think you missed the point: if they're never going to open it, then it doesn't have to be retractable. It's a waste of money.

And no, the tailgating thing is not ridiculous. It's part of the Bills experience and it's what keeps Bills fans coming when the team sucks, particularly late in the year. If the team can get 10+ wins a season, you're right, the tailgating won't matter. But they can't. Take away the tailgating, and you'll be lucky to get 20k to show up for those meaningless December games.

I would rather go to bars downtown and watch a game in a nice warm dome than tailgate when it's 20 degrees out.

I'm uncertain that a roof of that type would work well. That's a lot of surface area for accumulation of snow. Accumulated snow can get very heavy. The danger in that alone shouldn't be hard to imagine judging by this model. JMO

They can install heated pipes to melt the snow as it falls.

I don't disagree.

Keep in mind this location isn't within walking distance to any Downtown bars.

That's why they can install a rail system like the sabres have. To go from downtown to the entertainment complex. Would be good for concerts etc......

Just curious, what's the estimation about how far to the nearest bar?

Re: New stadium for the Bills in the future?

Today a plan will be presented to the Common Council that proposes a 72,000-seat, retractable-roof stadium, which can double as a convention center, as the centerpiece of a $1.4 billion project on outer harbor land owned by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
...envision surface and covered parking for 5,000, as well as hotel and retail and dining establishments.

Re: the $1.4 Billion - From reading the article, it sounds like the entire waterfront development would be $1.4 billion, not just the stadium. The stadium would be the bulk of it, and the centerpiece, but a lot of that money could be accounted for in other aspects of development.

5 miles

Not 5 miles but maybe 1 to 2 miles....
