Show me a design with no obstructed views

It would have to be a simple bowl with no deckings and no real concourses leveling at all. It isn’t going to happen. So yeah, it kinda does make it “ok”

Fans have the options to purchase or not purchase the ticket knowingly

"perfectly fine" but there's a floating stainless steel guardrail and bizarre glass outline in my immediate field of vision

I see a couple of those in the pics from the guy visiting all of these places w/ obstructed views.

Liberty Bowl was pictured
Looks like Tulanes very new stadium is on there
I KNOW Neyland Stadium in Tennessee has them
All of them do

Wasnt until renovations that the obstructed views happened

You are correct every stadium is going to have obstructed views. It’s wild to me people complain. The other option for you is they remove the seats and take away your option of buying it. Makes no sense

Nobody is saying it’s ok, but it’s unavoidable. The alternative is just have an empty slab of concrete where some seats could go. Typically, you can get an obstructed view seat for way cheaper on a game day app. For some fans, they will take that for the experience of being at a game.

It’s truly remarkable how dumb humans can be once the hive mind starts

A. You have have 66,000 tickets for sale, where 1,000 have views that have something in front of them. The 1,000 fans have the option and are cheaper

B. You can sell 65,000 seats where there are zero obstructions

People are arguing for B

Yeh, I’ve seen that. Once again the bills are 17-7 in the playoffs at home, one of the best records in the entire NFL

It’s a joke with no thought. Block out views of KC or the Super Bowl if you really want to help on the playoffs

Is it 50 seats that are obstructed or 1000? You said 50 in this thread. One of those is 20X larger than the other.

If it's 50 seats then you can still have 65,950 seats non obstructed.

People are saying that if the negative press from this is enough, may as well not have any obstructed seats and just have a few fewer seats in the stadium.

I'm indifferent but you are acting like 50 and 1,000 are the same here

Take it up with the guy that actually sat in the seat?


I went to the Bills/Bengals game last year when it snowed and it was awesome! Tickets were same price 3 yard line row 5-9 Bills side as tickets in the nosebleeds at NRG. I was going to go this year to the new stadium but think we will head to Green Bay instead to watch the Bills.

I simply put random numbers to make a point

You are literally someone that shouldn’t be allowed to vote if you say option B is better for the fans. It isn’t in anyway

“Avoid bad press”. fricking idiocy. Who gives a frick what idols on twitter complain about. Do what’s best for the fans

They should just eliminate those seats.

It can't be more than 20 seats max in the entire stadium.

Or keep them and sell them half price. Very simple solutions to this.

But if there are 69,950 unobstructed seats and no stories like this, or 70,000 seats with 50, maybe the answer is leave those seats out. No one would notice 50 total less seats in the stadium as it's constructed.

Your option B is making it seem like a big difference in # of seats and it isn't.

Who cares if it’s 1 or 10,000 seats

Giving a human being the option to buy it vs removing the option entirely because you are scared of social media


We have gotten to the point we are saying bow to the irrational mob?

Me and my son did the bengals game last year. Was awesome. Doing the Pats game this year and hitting the Sabres game the night before (will be game 2 for them)

Tickets are STEEP

Well 9999 people would care if it's 9999 seats

Anytime someone says something about the Bills you don't 100% agree with you rant and rave for 25 pages until everyone just gives up replying.

It hasn't always been social media, people have been complaining about obstructed views far before social media

We have gotten to the point where 50 seats in a stadium isn't that big of a deal and you could remove them an no one would ever have known they were an issue.

Again, I'm indifferent but the way you argue makes it fun to imagine you jumping up and down throwing a fit every time

I mean, it boils down to

Give people the option to buy a seat

Take the option of buying the seat away


You can’t logically argue the second option is better for the fan. Your only argument is “people won’t complain online”

And this isn’t a “bills thing”. There is a guy that has made an actual side living going to stadiums just to sit in the obstructed view seats because people follow him online and rage bitch
