I lost the rams in 2016 and spent a couple years searching for a new team. In 2019 I decided on Buffalo, and it was the best decision Ive ever made. Love this team; can’t wait to finally see a bills game when the new stadium is built
Who knows? That part might still be up in the air. One thing about turf is that it doesn't get rock-hard in the cold and it's easier to clear snow. So they might change their minds on natural grass
@@joshuapowell2675the infrastructure required for each surface is totally different. They’d have to make the choice and stick with it early in the process.
The thing I love about the OG highmark stadium is the endzone seats going like all the way down to the field level, you see the players jumping into the stands during TD celebrations all the time. It has an "up close and personal" intimate feel to it that a lot of other stadiums don't have. Yea highmark is extremely outdated, and it's pretty small for an NFL stadium but that's always sort of contributed to the tight knit, college style vibe to Bills home games. It seems like they're sort of going for the same sorta thing with the new stadium, with the seats extending all the way down to field level, hope you see the same sort of environment there with the players celebrating with the fans during TDs, etc.
Yes, we love it about 10 days each season. Then the place sits EMPTY the rest of the year (with very few exceptions) due to the weather. 1.5 BILLION dollars and no dome? Not even a retractable? 9k fewer fans will have a better experience.... Wooo Hooo WHAT A GREAT NEW STADIUM.
I was at the very first game at Rich (regular season that is). Bills beat Jets 9-7. OJ ran for 135 or so but more importantly didn’t kill anyone. Stadium held over 80000 then. Had blackout rules so a lot of games then weren’t sold out so had to listen to home games on radio. Major upgrade from War Memorial but was mediocre at best.
Dude... They will have a grass field. I don't know where you got that they would be using a artificial surface. It's design is based on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the UK. Probably will have in ground heating for the turf making it a lot easier to manage snow games.
Where is the roof over the field? There are major snowstorms in Buffalo, and without a roof, there will never be any Super Bowl games held there. What a wasted opportunity.
Nobody loves the open air when it’s below zero and 30mph winds. Stop gaslighting us. Also, how does a PSL fee of $8000 per ticket sound? That’s normal seats too
Glad I moved out of NY and don’t have to pay for it. Really dumb…can’t believe the NFL approved this. Enjoy having your annual Detroit home games despite paying 1.7 billion…
2 billion dollars and this will be considered like METLIFE stadium in a few yrs..Its PLAIN LOOKING, ugly,bed pan..For that money should have a dome..No we will be at a disadvantage more then anyteam because the weather..WHO APPROVED THIS?,
My previous comments put just minutes ago, appears to have been deleted. So l will be more blunt. Building a new stadium without a dome using mostly tax payer funds is ludicrous
It would be hilarious how this video goes on about sustainability if it wasn't so sad and wrong. Replacing a perfectly operational stadium for financial reasons is the opposite of sustainability.
Erie county residents got screwed into the ground ..No new jobs .A loss for taxpayers .A depressed economy and a stadium residents cant afford .Tax hikes that your gonna play for ....The only things residents are going to get is a smaller pocket and not Super Bowl and and revenue from the winter months ...You guys got screwed hardcore .Sorry Buffalonians
We are getting a well deserved new stadium which is over 50 years old, weather its from other country's or w/e else its still mostly bills fans. So does it really matter where from or whos in it smh
It's now over $400 million over budget. So now try $2.1 Billion. Also it's not across the street from Erie Community College. They closed the South Campus and donated the county land to the Florida Billionaire.
@BrettL250 lol it's not my tax. I just point out where politicians have made education taxes and property taxes to give the money to a billionaire in Boca Raton Florida. But yes, it's e education tax and yes the Billionaire is getting the property, including half of a community college, to add to his personal wealth. But no, I don't pay that tax. I just point out the working people getting screwed by Billionaires. It's also, yes, very illegal to tax property for education and then hand the money and the property to an individual citizen in another State 1,800 miles away. And yes the whole project is over $400 million over budget and about to be much, much more than that. It's not my house that will be lost be in fact lots of inner city houses will in fact go to foreclosure. Sorry if facts, ya know, upset your little world bahahab
@ I stopped halfway through your first sentence because that's all I needed to read for you to prove my point. You're bitter and angry. My guess is somewhere along your life someone convinced you that you're a victim. Until you get over that mentality you will really never be able to analyze things in life objectively. Take it easy.
@BrettL250 lol it's your problem. People who allow politicians to tax workers to pay their billionaire friends are crap human beings lol I tell them to their face cause it doesn't bother me. Id say ur seriously bothered by reality. I tell them then move on. Move on to your dark hole lol 🐇
I'm glad that the owner of the Bills (Patrick Mahomes) is building them a new stadium. He's so generous he even allows them to win a game or two in the regular season.
I have one comment.....why did we as the citizens of New York State not be given a right to vote on spending this kind of outrageous money on a stadium that is already overbudget, under purposed and a contract that is unavailable to the public.....why we need Elon Musk!
I guessed you missed the part about local union labor and local supply production. Why am I surprised broke people don't understand how economics works?
I do not know where the narrator got his information from, but as a Buffalonian and a local, I do not know one person who wants an open-air stadium. Everyone wants a dome stadium.
@@Billsfangirlforlife No hosting the Superbowl. No Concerts during winter. No events except maybe the News Years Day hockey classic. No festivals. No conventions. Basically, a dome stadium can attract investments and partnerships between the local government, private investors, and businesses, boosting the economic development of the area. The construction of a dome stadium often serves as a catalyst for urban development. New infrastructure-such as transportation, parking, restaurants, and hotels-can be built around the stadium, leading to the revitalization of the surrounding area and improving local amenities. Dome stadiums often include areas that can be adapted for different community events, such as local sports games, youth activities, and even non-sporting events like trade shows, community expos, or even large gatherings for public celebrations or holidays. It is a no-brainer.
You are correct. A domed stadium should have been built downtown. If not downtown, then east or northeast of Buffalo. Why Orchard Park where few people live?
Stay yo ass home then if your so butt hurt about a roof not being on it. Some of us like open air football like it was meant to be played, hell the Brown and the Steelers had a snow game this Thursday night and it was so fun watching that game wish I was their in person football is an outdoor sport people for some are forgetting about that
Another city that can't sell out a stadium and building a smaller stadium that they can fill out. Kudos to KC, GB and Dallas who always fill their stadium with loyal fans... Without Canadians coming down this city can't support a Football team and shouldn't have one, they should have moved to Toronto where 90% of their fan base is from.
LMAO the bills always sell out wtf are you taking about lmao if you’re going to post something this stupid at least have the facts right 🤦♂️ and typically when you border another country yeah you’re gonna have fans from Canada that go to games it’s no different then a lot of people from Canada going to Detroit Lions game or west coast Canadians going to Seahawks games etc and Toronto is a terrible sports city the CFL team they have just won a championship and guaranteed next year. The stadium will be 3/4 empty
It was pretty full on Sunday when they gave KC a bit of a chasing. Who cares where the people are from? Everyone I met was a diamond - and yes, I’m from Toronto!! Let’s go Buffalo!
@@richosborne2154 Chiefs fans travel and thanks to the good people of Toronto who fill it up every other Sunday. It's a known fact that Canadians don't care about college Football, and the people of Buffalo can't fill up the Buffalo Bulls 31,000 seat stadium. Facts!
$2.1 billion, at least, according to the team. The team is paying cost overruns, so they should know. Supposedly, the new stadium will have a natural grass, heated field. That was one of the points of keeping an open air stadium.
I lost the rams in 2016 and spent a couple years searching for a new team. In 2019 I decided on Buffalo, and it was the best decision Ive ever made. Love this team; can’t wait to finally see a bills game when the new stadium is built
Welcome aboard! I've seen 2 games in that stadium.....Both in the 1990's, coming from Colorado. Glad you joined us, the best is yet to come......
@ yessir!! It’s kinda hard with how many bandwagon chief fans suddenly appeared in the STL area but I love it 😂
What a chode
We are glad to have you.
New stadium has NATURAL GRASS not turf
Confirmed?
I was coming here to come to the same thing. I've seen several times on the Google that it will be natural grass
Also heard natural grass and that it will have an underground heating system
Who knows? That part might still be up in the air. One thing about turf is that it doesn't get rock-hard in the cold and it's easier to clear snow. So they might change their minds on natural grass

The new stadium looks magnificent!
Nothing Special
That's a lot of money for something that will be used 10 times a year.
Let's Go, Buffalo!
1 thing us bills love the open stadium we don't need no cover
Yes, we love it about 10 days each season. Then the place sits EMPTY the rest of the year (with very few exceptions) due to the weather. 1.5 BILLION dollars and no dome? Not even a retractable? 9k fewer fans will have a better experience.... Wooo Hooo WHAT A GREAT NEW STADIUM.
@roszyknuke as a Titans fan, I feel the same way. Current Nissan stadium holds almost 70k and the Nissan stadium will only hold 60k.
Miami Needs a Dome with it’s 90+ degree heat and 90+ % humidity
should have put a retracktable roof most people dont like to freeze and you can hold more events there
The house that Josh built.
The house that taxpayers built. I wish Josh paid some of his $48mil a year salary to help taxpayers pay for it.
I can tell who's from Buffalo and who isnt in the comments 😂😂😂
Cheektowaga here
new stadium will have natural grass as reported both by local media & the team it self
LET'S GO BUFFALO!!
Lets go Bills !!!!
GO BILLS

Price tag is crazy for what we are getting
It’s up to 2.1 billion now.
Natural Grass not getting turf lol
Now if I could just afford a ticket
Will The Press Box Be Up Top or Situated in between??
So they take out seats and make fans pay more to stand. So on-brand for the NFL.
people stand a majority of the game anyways, it doesnt matter
@@Keenan716 True but standing Currently,
Is their Choice. The New Standing Area should have a Reduced Cost and No Seat Licensing Requirement!
50% taxpayer funded this should never happen on the back of the taxpayers wtf same on our Governor of New York
Not really the overage is to be paid by the pegulas the taxes would be of such low increment you wouldn’t even notice a increase
Dude... They will have a grass field. I don't know where you got that they would be using a artificial surface. It's design is based on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the UK. Probably will have in ground heating for the turf making it a lot easier to manage snow games.
LETS GO BUFFALO FEED THE PT !!!!
Less seat to make the tax payers who PAID FOR AND BUILT THE DAMN THING have to pay ALOT MORE for tickets... I say boycott!
Just hoping theres a little more space in the seats, my brother and I are not big people and we were shoulder to shoulder
That's the beauty of going to a Bills game!! It's an intimate experience.
Bills Mafia's New Home: New York taxpayer's $1.7BN Highmark Revolution | TFC Stadiums There fixed it for you.
Not correct on the turf unless the plans changed. They promised a real grass field.
Wouldn't be surprised as many stadiums want to change to grass for the (soccer) World Cup as its a requirement for a stadium to be chosen.
The original stadium was actually known as
"Rich Stadium" back inna day 😊
What's going to happen to the old stadium?
boom
Yup boom the old Qualcomm in San Diego. Is replacing San Diego state facility
Parking lot
Where is the roof over the field? There are major snowstorms in Buffalo, and without a roof, there will never be any Super Bowl games held there. What a wasted opportunity.
No roof is crazy business in Buffalo.
God people outside Buffalo are weak
Don't comment on what you know nothing about
@Billsfangirlforlife Why didn't you tell me that before I commented?
Naaaw you can't have a roof ..
Thus is buffalo ... that's the idea
Will Bills fans be rooting for the Chiefs in this upcoming SB, or the NFC representative?
Nobody loves the open air when it’s below zero and 30mph winds. Stop gaslighting us. Also, how does a PSL fee of $8000 per ticket sound? That’s normal seats too
Wear the right winter gear and the game is a blast...f that roof
@@jtomczak100and a 12 pack of "antifreeze"
Obviously you’ve never watched a winter game from Buffalo…
@ season ticket holder buddy
A dome would have costed close to another billion dollars be happy there is a team with a new stadium in poor western NY
BRRRRRRRRRRRR
Going to beautiful but what a waist of money. Could have built a dome for only a few hundred million more.
Yep, and why is there a love of Orchard Park ?
So no dome?
I thought it was 2.5 billion?
#17 wins Buffalo a super bowl in there and they'll name it Josh Allen Stadium someday. GO BILLS
what stadium is named after a player winning a SB ? none
We are winning it this year, we deserve a superbowl win for the ralph
@@coop0530 "we" your not on the team...your really delusional
Where are the giant buffalos
This sounds like if you asked AI about the stadium. It has natural grass btw. Blocked
Can you do the titans new stadium
Glad I moved out of NY and don’t have to pay for it. Really dumb…can’t believe the NFL approved this. Enjoy having your annual Detroit home games despite paying 1.7 billion…

Seems to be a disappointment
The first woke stadium! 😂😂😂

Stupid. Still no dome.

Why the fuck would they want to close the roof when it snows?
The city of buffalo would never be able to host a Super Bowl due to infrastructure issues.
@onknight they don't have the hotels, roads, or accommodations to even consider a super bowl. Use your brain.
Nobody given a damn about a carbon free stadium ? is this a woke video ? Seriously what a joke
Who gives a fuck about “sustainably”. Such a woke idea. These things are so minimal it their actual effect in the environment.
Yeah being aware/considerate of other's is so woke and bad I bet you classify yourself as a lame ass alpha male 😂
They then proceed to board a private jet that affects the environment more than we possibly could over our entire lifetimes
It's probably due to NYS regulations.
I wanted to find out about the stadium, not hear a woke video about the environment!!
