Bills New Stadium Has Issues

They will sell you a seat. They never promised you a view of the field.

They didn't promise you a rose garden.
 
NFL game tickets are to spendy for this kind of sub-par bullshit.

Jerry Jones over sold SB tickets and that whole block of ticket holders had to sue for their money back.

About 2 years worth of legal dispute and I quit following so not sure of the outcome.

Tax payer money being used as it’s best, funding non-tax-payer crap.!!!

GREED MACHINE

Is it 10 seats out of 70,000 that suck or 500?
 
The exterior of the stadium is ugly and won't age well. There are also some very interesting design choices in the seating bowl that I just don't understand. But, it's outdoors and natural grass, so two huge wins for this stadium.

The roof and screens look just like the designs, so I'm not quite sure why people were surprised. It never looked like the roof was going to cover many fans (maybe a couple dozen rows, at most, in the upper deck), though the screens do look comically small for a brand new stadium.

Most of the obstructed-view seats are common--the railings are unavoidable. Now, there are some legit obstructed-view seats in the stadium that are downright embarrassing for the architect. Inexcusable to have half the field or corners of the end zone cut off.

In the end, all these new stadiums are used for is to maximize profits by focusing every design choice around premium seating areas and jacking up ticket costs for the regular seats.

I think most fans would be satisfied with large, efficient concession lines and bathrooms and good Wi-Fi.
 
Games are better on TV anyway
Yep.

Unless you happened to be at the Rats game in Pittsburgh last January.

I know they should have won and the Steelers lost 7 spots in each round of the draft, but that was easily the best Steeler game I have attended in terms of excitement and fan engagement, and the ending and post game was phenomenal. So glad I took the family on a last minute whim.

I know there were better and more important live games to have been at in the past, but that seems like a way long time ago.

My son and I went to Ben's "last game" in Baltimore. We won. Amazing experience.

We are among a very small minority.
The first time I saw a game live it was a letdown. What’s the big deal I said to myself?
How do people enjoy this more than watching from the comfort of their own home?
I had attended 5 games in my life.

The last one was the loss to the Patriots on a cold rainy night when Jessie James caught a TD pass that wasn’t a TD.
My son in law came in from California and had surprised us with tickets. We lost but at least he got to see Pittsburgh and was impressed.
 
I can understand why fans would be annoyed after a project costing that much money. Obstructed views and a roof that doesn’t properly cover the crowd are especially hard to justify in a brand-new stadium. The jumbotron comment made me laugh, though—it sounds like the design has become a bigger talking point than the football itself. I was browsing spinmama casino recently, but this stadium discussion definitely caught my attention.

I was there. Came out from Wyoming to meet my son. I was very close to saying goodbye to the nfl forever. A clear case of favoritism to Brady, and my hard earned dollars didn't matter one bit. I was sick of it all.

I hear yaz Djfan and thanks for all our great post(s) along the way.

This change in coaching has come at the perfect time as it brings HOPE to many.

That game had me at an all time low when it came to the NFL.

Hanging onto a past coach brought me to an all time low when it came to my beloved team (huge difference)

My HOPE has climbed immensely and hope to fulfill much needed confidence in current coaching staff.

I actually am engaged in the game / team / fandom again, what a difference from last year to this year.!!!

Same here
 
This is getting close to where the architect will get sued

Highly doubtful.

The owners were given a compete set of blue prints to examine before a single stone was turned.

Owner’s team approved those blue prints and as long as the General Contractor documented (including change orders) everything along the way, he will not be liable.

The final owner(s) are the responsible party, the tax-payer just gets to pay the bill including paying for any litigation brought to or foe.

We went to Nashville this weekend for my daughter's bday. We went to see my chemical romance at Nissan stadium. The stadium seemed small but seated about 70k. We were in section 218 which would have been amazing for a football game. I thought the whole stadium setup was good. My only complaint was the seats seemed small and there was not much leg room in front before the next row.
