Three giant mutant bison guarding the entrance is a bold choice. The faith that they won't just rampage through the crowd. I want to know who's going to pay for the research. Hopefully not the city.
Excluding the beginning of this season, this is a 100% punch down. If they wanted to pick a team to throw a haymaker at, they should have gone with the Patriots.
And to open up the roof instead of flipping a switch, 1000 Bills fans must climb to the top of the stadium and simultaneously pile drive the roof inward
Not a broken table, and not like a dildo was thrown on the bank of lake Erie. I'm utterly disappointed they didn't consider Buffalo's cultural heritage in designing the place.
Did you see the people in the stands for the Bills v Pats playoff game? This is the exact crowd. Look closely and a shirtless Ryan Fitzmagic can be found in the stands 👀
That's a Bills game for ya. Went to a game last year that was probably in the teens temperature wise and dudes a couple rows down from me were shirtless.
We both start playing better and maybe a new stadium will come in the future. The fact that it will almost certainly be tax payer funded though makes me really not care abt getting a new stadium anymore.
Went to MetLife for the first time this year. What do you hate about it? Was able to easily get to the concession stands with almost no line (behind the end zone), nice parking lot, and easy to get back to Manhattan from the train. Wish it was a dome but perfect for September
i mean whatever who fucking cares. all stadiums these days are ugly messes with overpriced bullshit and too much noise and other shit taking away from the experience of watching the game.
Ctrl C + Ctrl V, then collect millions in fees of taxpayer money. If you're paying a couple billion for a stadium, you'd think it woukd be nice to have a unique building.
It could have been a dome, downtown and Buffalo wouldnt qualify for a super bowl. The infrastructure, lodging and parking requirements are no where close.
The stadium is in a small town near Buffalo and doesn't have the infrastructure to host a Super Bowl regardless of dome vs. open air. I still wish they went with a dome though, simply so they could get more use out of it.
Every city that pays to build a new stadium with the idea that they're going to host Super Bowls on a regular basis is going to be disappointed when they get it once a decade at most
The city infrastructure isn't up to it, we're talking 10s of billions to rework transport and build hotels, then you have the fact that it's under feet of snow in Feb, which even with a dome would keep people from coming. Niagara Falls and proximity to Toronto are the main tourist draws and that's not enough either. Luring a Super Bowl was never on the cards.
So, rectangular to follow the shape of the field with rounded corners as you would get when you expand outward for seating, but missing 1/3 of the structure and made out of different materials.
I was worried for a second that they were going with a big open back on the top decks in cold Buffalo but it looks like windows when you compare the outside. I would expect that window gap to be the first thing to be cut though, (look at Tottenham for reference) they love putting in way too much glass in the first renderings lol. And then you get to cut out all the glass and save a bunch of money!
The fact is this is a state in near constant debt with the governor crying poverty. People are leaving in droves due to high taxes, seriously underfunded programs, schools, underpaid teachers, failing infrastructure, and so on... yet this is where we decide to send our money?
I for one am so glad my taxes continue to increase while we blow a billion dollars on a stadium 3 hours away from me, while my city is crumbling and public services are underfunded.
This is a problem everywhere though in terms of teachers and schools. NY actually has some of the highest salaries for teachers, and a lot of public schools are considered decent.
I agree billionaires should pay in full for their stadiums, but people are not leaving New York in droves lol. Tons of articles about that, but the census proved that it’s not the case.
I agree with the sentiment but underfunded schools and underpaid teachers we do not have lol, we have some of the highest paid,if not the highest paid in the country. The absurd government corruption however....
Our tax dollars go to this nonsense then if you want to go to a game at the stadium that you paid for, you STILL have spend a shit ton on tickets, parking, food, etc. It’s bullshit
Yea but how much did the state tax payers chip in for citi field and yankee stadium? Oh, right, $615m and $1.2b respectively. And this one is getting under $500m of public money.
Insane amounts of public dollars being spent and it’s not even designed in a way that makes it available to be utilized year round as a mixed-use venue to host concerts or other sports. Really poor use of funds.
Disregard my flair because this is a genuine question. What makes this different than all the other tax payer funded stadiums? or is it just that this is the most recent?
Hopefully they plan the roads in an out with a bit more thought than the current flood plain for cars that exists outside the current stadium. I typically drive to Buffalo a few times a year for games (Pats specifically) and getting out is always hell.
WNY taxpayers contributed to Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Barclays Center, and the islanders arena. It’s not like every downstate project is funded privately
Sure glad our tax dollars in WNY went to yankee stadium. Oh and double the amount. Oh and with no repayment program like this one. Oh and the exact same for citi field.
Looks great, but $1.4 billion, including $850 million in public funding, for a stadium in a cold weather city that won't have a retractable or translucent roof?
A lot of people here asking why it doesnt have a roof. Its because Bills games without snow lessen us all. Blocking the snow would be an abomination. Seriously.
Elon Musk could build one of these in every state in the US for slightly more than he maybe paid for possibly buying Twitter…but instead all of NY and particular the people of Buffalo, fans or no, are going to pay that $1,000,000,000+ price tag. All while the team rakes in the cash and doesn’t pay taxes. Cool. Looks great.
For whatever reason, this makes me want to go ice skating with a buffalo now.
Probably because the first picture looks like you legit have to ice skate in order to enter the stadium
Can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd
My ex is still single, she likes ice skating. Also looks and smells like a Buffalo.
Makes me wonder how soon they will host a winter classic game.
Three giant mutant bison guarding the entrance is a bold choice. The faith that they won't just rampage through the crowd. I want to know who's going to pay for the research. Hopefully not the city.
Normally you expect bronze statues, but those are clearly animatronic. It's a bold choice...
Move over Blucifer, there's a new trio of murderous ungulates on the rise.
I didn’t expect to wake up catching strays from stadium rendering but here we go.
I can’t believe we didn’t after they caught strays in ours
"Renderings are subject to change", bro. Just got to make it so.
Really should have been last years WC game score.
Better look good considering the price tag and who's footing the bill and all.
Just be glad you got a field goal
Excluding the beginning of this season, this is a 100% punch down. If they wanted to pick a team to throw a haymaker at, they should have gone with the Patriots.
They should shape it like a table
It wouldn’t survive the preseason
And to open up the roof instead of flipping a switch, 1000 Bills fans must climb to the top of the stadium and simultaneously pile drive the roof inward
Missed opportunity to appeal to their fan base for sure
Not a broken table, and not like a dildo was thrown on the bank of lake Erie. I'm utterly disappointed they didn't consider Buffalo's cultural heritage in designing the place.
Trying to be like Dragonstone with their table
Or a dildo...
And have Billy smash through the roof on opening night.
Oval tables exist.
And retracting the roof should look like the table is "breaking".
They should shape it like a hospital, so it reflects what the state sacrificed to spend $850 million for a stadium in the suburbs outside Buffalo.
Ok some people are dressed for nuclear winter, some folks are in short sleeves, what's happening here
This is actually incredibly accurate for a Bills game.
Did you see the people in the stands for the Bills v Pats playoff game? This is the exact crowd. Look closely and a shirtless Ryan Fitzmagic can be found in the stands 👀
That's a Bills game for ya. Went to a game last year that was probably in the teens temperature wise and dudes a couple rows down from me were shirtless.
You've obviously never been to Buffalo
That's standard for Buffalo
You have a broncos flair, have you never seen this kind of energy in Colorado?? Typical winter weather
The ones in short sleeves are also wearing invisible booze coats. Drunkenness will get them through 4 quarters of Buffalo weather.
Yeah this is normal, I typically wear a hoodie with shorts
Santa Clara when it's below 70°. The natives are dressed like they're climbing everest, the transplants are in tanktops and shorts
All in for the giant buffalos outside. They should have a live one run around on the field too.
Just let an entire herd roam the parking lots tbh
Just saying, there's no rule against putting a live buffalo in the away team's locker room
If Josh wins us a Superbowl, I want a statue added of him hurdling the buffalo
That's a Jackie Moon type plan.
If they don't train them to circle the wagons, then I'll be very disappointed
Who will be the first to jump from one through a table??
Didn't Tre try to convince Kim Pegula to get a bison for game purposes?
Add it to the list of stadiums that are better than MetLife. It's basically all, except FedEx field. I'm very salty MetLife is so terrible
And Levi’s. Levi’s is an embarrassment.
It honestly blows my mind that between the Jets and Giants organizations, Metlife's current layout was the best they could come up with. . .
At least MetLife wasn't tax funded.
I’ll take MetLife’s boring toaster that was privately funded over these other stadiums that robbed the taxpayers.
MetLife looks like a fresh pack of Staples
Yeah as a Sox fan, our stadium is terrible compared to other parks built in the 90’s. I’m so jealous of Camden
There’s a reason we’re upgrading from our current one hahah
We both start playing better and maybe a new stadium will come in the future. The fact that it will almost certainly be tax payer funded though makes me really not care abt getting a new stadium anymore.
Levi
Went to MetLife for the first time this year. What do you hate about it? Was able to easily get to the concession stands with almost no line (behind the end zone), nice parking lot, and easy to get back to Manhattan from the train. Wish it was a dome but perfect for September
It isn't even that old yet, and it is somehow still worse than older stadiums.
FedEx is objectively awful, you are correct!
Hey, at least Yankee Stadium and MSG suck too.
It's fine boring if anything. But hey its NON TAXPAYER FUNDED.
What's so bad about MetLife?
What’s so bad about MetLife? Other than the teams that call it home it seems like a perfectly fine stadium
i mean whatever who fucking cares. all stadiums these days are ugly messes with overpriced bullshit and too much noise and other shit taking away from the experience of watching the game.
This one should be great to play in January
For you, maybe.
I missed that we can do dual flairs here now. How long has that been around?
Are they using the same architects that designed Tottenham's new stadium.
They are
Yes.
Ctrl C + Ctrl V, then collect millions in fees of taxpayer money. If you're paying a couple billion for a stadium, you'd think it woukd be nice to have a unique building.
Sonwould buffalo ever host a Superbowl? I feel like no dome means they wouldn't have a shot
It could have been a dome, downtown and Buffalo wouldnt qualify for a super bowl. The infrastructure, lodging and parking requirements are no where close.
The stadium is in a small town near Buffalo and doesn't have the infrastructure to host a Super Bowl regardless of dome vs. open air. I still wish they went with a dome though, simply so they could get more use out of it.
Every city that pays to build a new stadium with the idea that they're going to host Super Bowls on a regular basis is going to be disappointed when they get it once a decade at most
If they do, it will be like how Metlife got one as a reward for building a new stadium, and then never again.
The city infrastructure isn't up to it, we're talking 10s of billions to rework transport and build hotels, then you have the fact that it's under feet of snow in Feb, which even with a dome would keep people from coming. Niagara Falls and proximity to Toronto are the main tourist draws and that's not enough either. Luring a Super Bowl was never on the cards.
Is there a room dedicated to table breaking built in?
That shit stays in the parking lots
Open air. LFG
[удалено]
I love open air for watching on TV. Especially blizzard games.
Open air stadiums are infinitely better than closed air
I like that its still outside. Keep football football
All stadiums are outside, if you think about it.
Exactly. There's something special about playing out in the elements. I'm surprised so many people here are wondering why it's not a dome.
"But muh sUpErBoWl"
Seeing as Bison bison bison is my favorite animal, I’m in love with those giant statues.
The buffalos in the front is a dope touch
They better have anatomically correct dongs. Pictures of being teabagged by the bison!
Rumor has it when the Bills score a touchdown they'll trot one lap around the ice rink with while making grunt noises.
Looks a lot like Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
It's the same stadium. They just fly it in and out of London as needed.
They said it would, and I aint mad about it
Just an FYI: It doesn't snow all year around here, it was actually in the 70s this week.
The shock that it isn't a dome when the current stadium isn't a dome either lol
Looks like a glass version of the Cardinals stadium but without a roof
So, rectangular to follow the shape of the field with rounded corners as you would get when you expand outward for seating, but missing 1/3 of the structure and made out of different materials.
The big Ice Box
I was worried for a second that they were going with a big open back on the top decks in cold Buffalo but it looks like windows when you compare the outside.

I for one am so glad my taxes continue to increase while we blow a billion dollars on a stadium 3 hours away from me, while my city is crumbling and public services are underfunded.
It's gross, especially considering how our owner made his money.
This is a problem everywhere though in terms of teachers and schools. NY actually has some of the highest salaries for teachers, and a lot of public schools are considered decent.
I agree billionaires should pay in full for their stadiums, but people are not leaving New York in droves lol. Tons of articles about that, but the census proved that it’s not the case.
But atleast it’s in New York!!!
I agree with the sentiment but underfunded schools and underpaid teachers we do not have lol, we have some of the highest paid,if not the highest paid in the country. The absurd government corruption however....
Facts. Way too much taxpayer money on this shitshow. Pegula can open the coffers for this one.
Yea, so many have left and now there’s so many apartments vacant. Oh wait actually vacancies are low and rents are the highest in the whole country
Our tax dollars go to this nonsense then if you want to go to a game at the stadium that you paid for, you STILL have spend a shit ton on tickets, parking, food, etc. It’s bullshit
Eh, NYS has a 10% income tax on incomes over $1 million.
Yea but how much did the state tax payers chip in for citi field and yankee stadium? Oh, right, $615m and $1.2b respectively. And this one is getting under $500m of public money.
Insane amounts of public dollars being spent and it’s not even designed in a way that makes it available to be utilized year round as a mixed-use venue to host concerts or other sports. Really poor use of funds.
“but outdoor football so romantic!”
The new taxpayer funded Bills Stadium.
It should be the stadium name, NYS Taxpayer Stadium
I don’t think YOU understand what “funded” means in the context of state budgets.
Only if you also include how much the Bills make for the state in income tax per year.
The taxpayers will also own it...
Shouldn't be called the Bills Stadium.
Disregard my flair because this is a genuine question. What makes this different than all the other tax payer funded stadiums? or is it just that this is the most recent?
I don't hate it. Especially happy to see that there are plans to leave it an open stadium.
It's...fine? I mean, looks like a football stadium with a bit of an awning.
Who's paying for it?
You
State will pay $600 million and the county will pay $250 million. Its always nice to give billionaires so much tax money.
I am, unfortunately.
Me
I don't know if having ice surrounding your stadium is a good idea from an insurance perspective.
It’s not shaped like a giant table? Lame.
The Bible says definitely don’t worship giant golden cattle but I’m gonna anyway
Hopefully they plan the roads in an out with a bit more thought than the current flood plain for cars that exists outside the current stadium. I typically drive to Buffalo a few times a year for games (Pats specifically) and getting out is always hell.
The house that … Josh Allen needs a cool nickname
Will this stadium be in Orchard Park or somewhere in the city?
OP, right next to the old stadium
Disappointing.
It isn’t covered, and for that I’m happy
Man I gotta get to orchard park before the switch.
super glad my tax dollars in Brooklyn are heading up there to support this
WNY taxpayers contributed to Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Barclays Center, and the islanders arena. It’s not like every downstate project is funded privately
Yeah, there's not many of us who feel very good about that.
Try being in Utica if you like watching tax payer money going to other stadiums
You were gonna spend the money on something even worse anyway
Sure glad our tax dollars in WNY went to yankee stadium. Oh and double the amount. Oh and with no repayment program like this one. Oh and the exact same for citi field.
Same here in CNY. Though I feel the same about the stadiums built downstate too. Yall have enough people to pay for your own shit
Well if the Bills leave NY, then that leaves a $20 million income tax gap per year.
This is sick tbh. Also love how the first pic is the dead of winter lol
Looks great, but $1.4 billion, including $850 million in public funding, for a stadium in a cold weather city that won't have a retractable or translucent roof?
It’s a good time to be a Buffalo fan, happy for y’all
Parasites gouging citizens.
My sentiments exactly. I can't help but be excited for the shiny new thing but man is it gross how we're getting there.
I’ve never seen even one person walking around with a flag outside the stadium yet this rendering makes it look like it’s commonplace
They should have added a guy diving through a table in the exterior rendering, smh.
At least one NY team will have a decent stadium. Unlike our two team disappointment.
Outside looks cool. Inside looks very generic and character-less to me. Like MetLife
That stadium is going to be an instant classic.
New Buffalo challenge! Sticking your tongue to the frozen windows!
They should have actual buffalo that roam around the surrounding environs
It looks like the futuristic stadium option in madden
no retractable roof. good :)
Is it designed to reflect the sun's rays to warm the home team's sideline, while keeping the visitor's side in the cold freezing dark?
https://www.buffalobills.com/news/stadium-news
Feels a little generic. Where is the innovation?
This looks insane
Levi’s looks like a pile of poop compared to these new stadiums.
THIS IS ALL I SEE:
Add some bison horns and you've earned a spot on the design team!
Did the NFL dangle the possibility of a Buffalo Super Bowl in February?
Anybody who thought Buffalo was getting a SB is bias lol, Buffalo doesn't have the infrastructure, hotels, etc to handle a SB.
Finally my LI tax payer dollars going towards something worth while /s
As a Utica taxpayer I'm really excited to pay for a stadium 4 hours away that I could never afford to go to anyway.
The new Bills stadium Looks quite familiar to the Tottenham hotspur stadium to me, based on the exterior shape of the rendering.
That's because it's designed by the same firm and used Tottenham as its base to build from.
Quick someone photoshop a bunch of folding tables amongst the people.
Not a dome? Sign me up!
Looks like a significant upgrade.
That's admittedly a low bar, as much as I love that beautiful dump
A skating rink outside of a football stadium would be pretty cool. Though, the drunk people would definitely ruin it...
Bold of them to assume it’ll be “buffalo bills stadium” and not “random predatory financial behemoth stadium”.
The crazy part about this rendering is it depicts Buffalo in September.
Bills fans should pool money to buy naming rights so it can be Bills Mafia Stadium
I’m still calling it Ralph Wilson stadium
Seems foolish not to at least have a retractable roof with a young, high powered offense.
I think it’s for the off chance they ever get a team warm weather AFC team in the playoffs it gives them the advantage.
[удалено]
Pretty sure a retractable roof would have raised the price by ~$1 Billion. Non retractable was $500 Million. It wasn’t possible
Do the taxpayers of New York who are funding this get a say in the design?
There actually is a public hearing on it tn.
It looks pretty nice. A new home for the mafia
Respect. Domes suck.
Really, thank you Buffalo for not doing a dome.
I love that it’s not a dome (looks at Tennessee)
A lot of people here asking why it doesnt have a roof. Its because Bills games without snow lessen us all. Blocking the snow would be an abomination. Seriously.
Elon Musk could build one of these in every state in the US for slightly more than he maybe paid for possibly buying Twitter…but instead all of NY and particular the people of Buffalo, fans or no, are going to pay that $1,000,000,000+ price tag. All while the team rakes in the cash and doesn’t pay taxes. Cool. Looks great.
It's the NY way. Politicians working together with billionaires to make all their pockets bigger.
