Buffalo Bills new $2.2B stadium is BOOTY

Obstructed views in a modern stadium???

“Oh those are most likely for “other events” were looking into it” oh like your NOT going to sell those tickets for an NFL game. At virtually full price?

Ive also heard theres virtually no bathrooms or very small on the upper level.

What a joke for $2.2b especially since over 50% of it was funded by either tax payers or fan fundraisers.

Cheapest ticket for a seat all year for the regular season is over $300 EACH.

you’ve got to be kidding me. horrible!

Man that’s bad.

And i could ALMOST forgive it if they had a state of the art jumbotron.

But its TINY!

And other events??? Football is 80% of the events because its open roof. Meaning you have what? May-July. 3 months for other events

I guess you sell those seats to people who want to say they were at the game when “it” happened, but don’t really care about football and will spend most of the game staring at their phones. Or maybe corporate giveaway seats.

“Buy our top of the line model and we’ll throw in a free ticket to the Bills’ game!” Your view from the free ticket:

You wanted to see Josh Allen drill the game winning TD? Tough shit, you’ll be seeing Larry Eightbeers slowly struggle up those stairs with enough hotdogs to feed the 1st Infantry Division.

I’m from up there and most of my old friends (and a son) are Bills fans.

NONE of them can afford to go to games.

What are they gonna do in 3 years when they are 5—9 late in the season. Who’s going then?!

Still can’t figure out why then didn’t have a dome or retractable roof. I live in southern ontario and get hit with bad weather but Buffalo’s is always worse.

Maybe the Bills could’ve done better? Maybe society can complain a little less and enjoy a little more?

Old Tiger Stadium had obstructed views, was it a crappy stadium?

Loved Tiger Stadium. But that place was built over a hundred years ago.

There’s no excuse for obstructed views in a brand new stadium. Engineering and construction technology have come a long way.

They basically chose to cram in hundreds of extra obstructed view seats and for what? A few hundred grand in revenue a year tops? Makes no sense. If they want those extra seats they should have just add another row at the top with a clear view. But the cost would not likely cover the revenue, so they just decided to stick it to the fans.

And the point above about not making it a dome is spot on too. If it’s publicly funded to that extent, the public deserves return on the investment. They should have maxed out the revenues with year round events. Toronto is a market of millions of people nearby as well.

Seems to me like a really poorly thought out venture all around.

As one in this industry, this is hilarious, and the architect is very well known for their sports work. This gonna hurt, and not so good.

I will say tho. The county gave them funding however theres a 6% tax on all tickets and merchandise sold. Based on my rough math.

The county will get their money back within 15 years. And get another $200m by the end of the lease in 30 years.

The state at a minimum will break even by the end of the lease on sales tax and income tax alone.

With everything else thats taxable profit.

So really the public money is just a loan
