The 60,000 seat capacity is not enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I realize that this is the average of tickets sold, but this area can and has held more in fans. A 75,000 capacity stadium is the ideal number for a team with the history of the Buffalo 🦬 Bills! If the smaller capacity stadium is built, then the fans will definitely end up paying much more in ticket prices.
The demand and excitement surrounding this franchise has never been higher. Seems like a strange time to downgrade capacity.
They gon try to drive ticket prices up with less seats.
It seems small to me as well.
Just get it done it might be 62,000 Go Buffalo Victory!! 📰🗞️💯🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂💯💯💯💯
Moving to Toronto. Sorry. Argo's, er...Bills, and the NFL going to take your money, break your hearts, and then send in the P.R. tools to tell you how the move to Toronto will actually benefit Bills fans. Get ready. Houston Oilers --> Tennessee Titans...Montreal Expos --> Washington Nationals...Buffalo Bills --> Toronto Argonauts (eh? hehe). Get ready.
60,000 number is surprisingly small.
Didn't Rich stadium seat 80,000 in the 90s?
84,000 I think
80,020
It was the second or third largest in the league. Nowadays even 80k would barely be the top half.
@@dubl59zy , only LA colosseum was larger at some point.
@@dubl59zy Only 3 NFL stadiums have a capacity of 80,000 or more.
Thank you for the update. Well done!
Another great video! Thanks so much for the details
So basically what your saying is the NFL has determined that seeing live games is for the rich & wealthy, and the TV is for the rest of us.
Hell, I'd much rather watch games on TV. Much better view and much cheaper concessions.
Yes, you are absolutely correct. That is why the Buffalo Bills will eventually morph-move to Toronto. Your Bills, your colors, your history, in Toronto, so that billionaires and all the monied media centers can make (TAKE) even more money from the fans they "Love."
I hope your right mike about staying!! Thanks for keeping us updated
Thanks Mike
Hey Mike and team. Good to see you guys all ways. Becoming 1 of my favorite channels.
Honestly I'm ok with the covered roof but the seating needs to be more you can't go from 71 thousand to 62 thousand it's sad
I would hope there's room for expansion. I know Rich/Ralph/whatever stadium was expanded a bit, as were stadiums in other cities, so that may be part of the plan. Keep talking about it, and they'll have to incorporate that aspect.
Yay!, thanks Mike. Cant wait to see Dan's Video on Tre' White, Love that dude!
Thanks Mike , for the update . I first heard of this story from Buffalo Plus. I'm a fan. 💛
Glad you enjoyed it
Hopefully is a cool design n we can have some statues of our greats there as well. Plus a herd of buffalos 😁
Good job, Mike!
Thank s Mike, Those kind s of rumors would of stressed us out. We love this team
love you mike
Is there any picture renditions out there of what it might look like. You know by now they have that?
"Closing the bowl" may also amplify the crowd noise. Go Bills!
Would also like to see some designs of what the stadium looks like lol
the one with the Toronto skyline?
They look similar to Seattle's 🏟️ Stadium they said & Jerry Jones Company is involved he has Stadium company he calls the shots he said Bill's In Buffalo new stadium 👍👍 he has a lot of power" God bless Go Buffalo Victory!!! Our Lady queen of Victory Pray for Us 🛐💯💯🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂💯💯💯🏙️🏙️🏟️ We can win the SB this year to with a run game & defense now🏈🥇 🏆👍🙏
@@willardmusick1187 chillllll 😭
Go Bills!!!!!
I'm a little surprised that they aren't considering building more toward Williamsville or Clarence, which would draw a few more from Rochester. Are they getting more people from Canada than Rochester? Less impact from snow too.
Downtown extremely cool Exciting something different Orchard Park just moved one from over there over here oh you’re even building smaller this time Then build it in Niagara Falls
Since we have to pay for some ot most of the stadium cost, I wish they would actually poll people in the area to determine what stadium would actually work for the area. I really think we need a 68k to 70k retractable roof stadium. I mean if our taxes go up because if it, what is the difference between having to pay 1.4 Billion and 2 Billion? I would rather have a stadium that can be used year round, not price fans out being one of the smallest stadiums in the league and be something fans actually want. This whole thing reaks of NFL and Rodger Goodell strong arming the Pegula's into building a new stadium that no one wants.
They did poll the people, they chose an open air stadium in Orchard Park.
The way this country is bleeding tax dollars and spending like a drunken sailor there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE! Build it big and do it right! The USA i see is basically in the 11th hour. We don't even have agreement on basic facts in our news media. Half the people get their information from algorithms on facebook designed to make us all stupider. The notion that there could be responsible financial planning in this era of utter stupidity is an absolute joke.
Get It done Go Buffalo Victory!! this new stadium 🏟️ will secure the Future of Bills in Buffalo!!! Let's Go Buffalo Victory" God bless Go Buffalo Victory & Our Lady queen of Victory Pray for Us 🛐💯🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂💯💯🙏👍👍🏙️🏙️🏟️
Typical short sighted proposal. Explain to me how the Raiders stadium cost 1.8 billion with a roof and 3x as many skyboxes, more seats and more bells and whistles but it will cost @ least 1.9 billion for an open air stadium Downtown . That's BS. Always they talk about " infrastructure improvements " Been to Baltimore Cincy , Cleveland, Indy,Pittsburgh, Chicago and ALL of them have way more people and I didn't see a crazy amount of "infrastructure improvements". You need a few on /off ramps. People here think you need to add 4 lanes to the 190 to get to the stadium quicker. Common sense knows there will be horrible traffic if you stick 70k people going to 1 place. Have some patience or spend a few hrs DT after the game till traffic dies down.
Exactly! I would rather have a 2 Billion dollar stadium that's as nice as Las Vegas rather than a 1.4B that's worse then what we have now.
And then it's only going to be 60K?! There is almost that many season ticket holders now. They could easily keep it around the same capacity of what we have now, even in the drought they sold out almost every game.
So looks like Batavia is out. LOL That always seemed like such a good idea. T-way access from both directions (Roc and Syr. especially), and a host of other things. But, like Mike said, infrastructure! But that full top on a 60k seat house though, and other uses.... LOL JMHO... 8) --gary
I think downtown is still the better idea but that's kinda like saying the Skyway needs to come down, which I think is mostly a reaction to poor policy which however has since become relied upon
Just for use of the new practice facility (existing) & highway infrastructure improvements, + the parking lots that may be reused. Folks are resolved to driving to Orchard Park, so why make a location change 👏👌👍❓❓
Make the stadium like Seahawks make a design where fan sound bounce off the overhaul and go back to Field
I like the covered seats but give us 10,000 more seats at least. I think it would still fill up with ticket sales.
Retractable roof!!! Hell yeah! Just...DO IT! HOOO-AAAHH
But 60,000 Seats that a big hockey game
80,000 is the number. Anything less isn't a dome!
Pegulas need to pony up. They have the cash. Maybe Bon Jovi can buy them and move them to Rochester?
You do know he WA Ted to move the bills out of buffalo right ? 😁😁
Billionaires On The Dole!!!!🤣
Build a dome, get a Superbowl. Nothing else will get it! Time to treat Buffalo to first class...... no more coach flights.
Hopefully the bills get it together and not grow frustrated and end up moving the bills out of Buffalo Art modell did my browns this way.
Hope new Stadium is called new rock pile
meanwhile in texas, tesla is building a factory that is now one of the largest buildings in the world for 400mil in a year and a half, sounds like an inflated price, at 3 times the cost
Remember when the Brookland Dodgers said they needed a new stadium and they wouldnt give them one? Just saying.
Brooklyn
Yeah suites for rich people and limited seats at a ridiculous price....screw the hard-working fans who can only afford to go to 1-2 games a year as it is right??
60k is WAAAAY too small. WTF are they thinking? From what i've heard we're talking about a 200M difference here to get the thing up to 70k.
60,000 is too small. But I get the financial reasons for "right sizing" the stadium. That said, make it 12 seats bigger than the Patriots stadium which is 65,878. Therefore, HighMark should be 65,890. (12th man. Or in honor of Jimbo) Our stadium will also be bigger than the Patriots!
I never understand the people that get bent by tax dollars getting used.... All business within 50 miles benefit from the Bills....I live 6 hours away in Oneonta NY and ever business I go to on the way to the game benefits the airports hotels diners apparel shops etc etc etc
I bet the players get pissed when they hear the fans calling for open air stadium lol Just give em the Dome!
60,000 is too small. It makes it the smallest NFL stadium and smaller than most div 1 college stadiums. The size is ridiculous....
PSL's are horrible...
I'm betting the Bills end up being moved and or sold. The Chargers being moved from San Diego to LA has been a revenue extravaganza for the Chargers...same with the Raiders.
This comment is clueless….
@@shawnokeefe1580 That's a nice way of putting it.
I need to move to buffalo or orchard Park so I can work 2 jobs and my 2nd job would be all for Bills Stadium 🏟
Build a dome for crying out loud! It's time the Buffalo fans were treated first rate!
None of it makes sense fiscally. $1.4B is the price tag for a covered stadium recently. For a small capacity open air stadium, $7-800 million is more than adequate. Open air is a huge mistake, as well. Going to Bills games in blazing August and September heat, or freezing temps and snow sucks.
"blazing heat" in Buffalo? LOL. I grew up in Buffalo. We had season tickets when the Bills played in War Memorial Stadium. Spent many a cold winter days watching the Bills lose. Greatest game ever was when the Bills intercepted Joe Namath 5 times!
I don't want a dome, but 1 Superbowl hosting will cover that extra cost...
No dome! Its Buffalo. Forgetting that the environment can be used as a weapon in the playoffs; the snow would collapse that roof in one winter
Do a retractable roof that can be left open for games and closed for other events so that it can used all 12 months to help pay for it.
You guys who think the weather benefits a team are hysterical. Unless you have Shady on your team, that is not a thing. You can't kick or throw for that matter, a ball accurately when the wind is gusting back and forth at 30 mph. You can't run through the snow. And you don't adapt to playing in freezing weather during 3.3 years a player is on average on a team.
@@AnthonyClauser first off, the fact you think that a team doesnt have an advantage in its own territorial weather is laughable. Its obviously harder to do certain things in worse weather. Thats not breaking news for anyone, fyi. Its about which team is more accustomed to playing in those conditions. Obviously, here as well, the home team is more likely to be better prepared for those conditions. Dont worry, being smart isnt easy, but you'll get there
I don't agree on the dome because for one it's gonna rune buffalo bills history and two the die hard buffalo bills fans loved the winter games when it snows because that's the fun part watching the games when it snows I'm a die hard bills fan my self and I don't wanna see all of that be taken away
@@BuffaloBilliam I know right? Look at how much an advantage the 100 degree heat was to the Dolphins. What is supposed to be a decent team got shell shocked by as cold weather team as it gets. Weather for the billionth time only keeps fans away. It does not provide an advantage. Unless of course you would like to provide an example, and any snow game with McCoy in it doesn't count.
Why just 60.000. To small
60k isn't big enough. 80 to 100k would be what I think an NFL stadium should be at. And Buffalo would fill that
70,000, dome stadium, and 35 % from the taxpayer. Thats my pitch lol
Wind is the #1 enemy and it must be mitigated to the greatest extent possible. We have one of the best QBs in the NFL. Why the hell should he be playing in the cyclone winds of WNY 8+ games per year if we don't have to make him do that? If they can engineer an open stadium to mitigate the WNY winds, great! Cold isn't a problem. Snow isn't a problem. Those things get the most play in the media about why it's hard to play in Buffalo but they're NOT a problem. The wind is a VERY BIG problem. The football we've endured on particularly windy fall and early winter days in WNY is hard to watch at times. We have a high flying offense. I don't care what they do with this stadium, but please, please, please to the people making decisions... Focus on limiting the wind factor!
If we go to 60k on seats and get the dome I am totally ok. Pony up the dough and live better cheap skates.
Remember all the angst about the Raiders, A's, Expo's, etc. leaving or staying, pitting one city vs. another, fan loyalty...and then to see what ultimately happens. Hint: No new stadium in Buffalo. The new stadium where the $$$ is...TORONTO. Sorry, but the NFL is only interested in where the most money is. Buffalo fans must get ready to traveling North to spend their money. Watch.
Stay in Orchard Park and Keep it Open!!
It's worse than I thought, seeing they were trying to plan it out 2 years ago. Hopefully the new governor will be more receptive. I don't care if it's the model t of stadiums. Just get it done. Don't forget about the field house and all the investments in the current location. It should be in Orchard Park.
Please just don't do a browns and ravens thing, it should be the original browns that became the ravens that should have 2 superbowls.
No dome, football is meant to be played in the elements
Just dumb to have this issue hovering over this season.
too much thinking!!
Hell take my California tax dollars...at least it is going to my Bills cause....and not to a bunch of worthless resources like California likes to spend on 😄😄😄
The county owns the stadium, right? I know asking the people to pay for it all seems like a bit much, but wouldn't a team owner, that doesnt own the stadium, being asked to pay for it be equally as ridiculous? I say everyone goes in 50-50 and we get back to loving football. Think ahead....all the tax dollars lost, by having the Pegulas now own the stadium, would hurt the area far more than the taxes used to build a new stadium. My issue is how the state uses tax dollars in general. I would have someone watching that budget and payroll like a fkn hawk.
You can not fight city hall, never have, never will. Did you listen to Mike❓
It is all semantics, ownership is irrelevant w/o a team. So if the county owns it , so they can have a music concert or two, that income is peanuts.
Taxpayers are going to build the facility, owners will make a paltry contribution, & that is the story. Trying to apply a modicum of logic here is a exercise in futility. Persistence in any alternative direction will just increase your headache. Just relax, it is done. Nice explanation, Mike, thanks.
It's a game cities/counties and owners play with the public. Erie County would never let the Pegula's pay for the entire stadium. That would mean they wouldn't get any revenue beyond the lease.
Off to Austin the team goes.
clown
Shhhhhh troll
Raleigh**
Why not spend tax payer $$$$'S on a money making enterprise.
The career politicians of New New York will give away money to people and things that contribute nothing other than burden to society.
If New York can afford to give illegals 2 billion a year then we can build a stadium!!!!!!
