atlanta built a sweet dome that can hold 78 thousand with retractable roof for 1.6

It was actually closer to 1.8 bill and it was finished 5 years ago. It was also supposed to cost much less than that. I get your point.... I don't understand stadium costs. Many of the stadiums built since then have cost much more than that.

Did not know that. Well said.

my guess is 20,000 people were in the game at the end

people trying to get back in stadium and they refused to let them in

we almost left, wanted to see a td, and then they kicked the onside kick and put 21 more points on the board in the 3rd quarter

OJ was running up and down the field high fiving the fans

and those 20,000 or so that were left, were very loud

one of those 35 degree and steady rain games

Big night in the NHL tonight. I hate to say it but one of Vancouver or Winnipeg might need to catch Vegas as I fear that Vegas might catch the Kings. It should be an interesting couple of weeks.

Expect overruns here as well. Building costs are going:

Started with covid, plus inflation. Whatever material prices they have now are essentially useless for work to be done in a few years

They sold out 61% of games at 80,000. The greatest comback ever against Huston in the playoffs. A lot of us listened on the radio because the Buffalo Bills couldn't sell out a playoff game.
- lacaprup



There were 500,000 at that game
Just ask everyone

as a person at the comeback game

let me tell you a little about it

last week of the year, kelly goes down in first half and they get blown out by houston

then you have 4 days to sell out the wild card game which was expected to be in bad weather and your playing a backup qb vs a team that beat you 27-3

had one of these things not happen, bills would have been on tv and possibly have home field advantage for the playoffs
they had over 77 thousand fans in every game before december, just like every other year during those runs in the 90's

if you had a dome, you would have no problem selling out every game in an 80,000 seat stadium as long as you don't overprice your tickets

even when the bills are bad they sell over 95 percent of tickets for almost every non december game

How about all the people who left and tried getting back in
Security just opened the gates and it was a mad rush back to ur seats

Wow, didn't realize it was that soft. I was worried when I saw Doughty was done and then they went out and made a mess of the bed the other night. Unfortunately they have played 2 more games than Vegas.

My uncle has been on the seasons ticket waiting list for 30 years.

He is still 50,000 + away.
