Have to keep it out of the city! Best spot is OP lots of parking and roads are a lot better to handle the people.
Of the four sites in the consultant’s report, a new stadium in Orchard Park would cause the least amount of land-use change. That’s because the report places the stadium just north of the Bills’ current home, on land Erie County already controls. The 181-acre site also includes parking lots that serve the stadium on both sides of Abbott Road.
Die-Hards if in the city this would be out..A move downtown could undermine Bills fans’ tradition of tailgating. Im sure something the city would end. Could you see this 70,000 people scattered around downtown parking lots drinking. Where do they all pee? the city Road access, for example, proved to be a central concern regarding a stadium n the city the, an idea that’s been pushed by Amherst businessman George F. Hasiotis. New bridges and roads to link that potential stadium site to the rest of downtown would cost between $800 million and $1 billion, the consultants said.. ouch!! taxpayers would have to pay that bill.
Then there is keeping taxpayer stadium and sinking more money into it... how much more is needed?Despite $130 million in renovations completed this year, “The Ralph” needs more than a half-billion dollars of additional work just to bring it in line with the more extensive renovations done at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., and Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo,. the consultants said.
The Ralph still needs upgrades to its premium seating areas, additional restroom and concourse improvements and a better concessions system, and the entire stadium must be made compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
And then there’s “the additional complexity of rebuilding the upper deck structures to accommodate the required premium suites and modern media facilities,” the consultants said.
Two things for sure money bags foots the whole bill on a new complex and get rid of the name Ralph.

In 2005, there was a weekend stop in Buffalo for people trekking to Milwaukee for the Harley Davidson Anniversary. It was said over 125,000 bikes showed up. So maybe, in true Buffalo fashion, the city would close off a section of downtown for a city sponsored tailgate, a la Thursday At The Square, or the live concerts they did for that Harley Rendezvous, or the space used at the Out harbor for love concerts now. What else is really going on downtown on a Sunday anyway?
It hits on a facets; brings people downtown, generates revenue, creates a new cultural event for the city. Also, I don't know if they ever did this, but opening up Metro Rail on Sundays wouldn't hurt.
The downside, November/December/January weather.
Let me articulate this for you:
"I'm not locked in here with them. They're locked in here with me!!"

HK, can you see the city cops controlling 77,000 fans, tailgaters, drunks, drunk Canadians etc. plus shootings and crime on the east side and all the other stuff going on in the city that day... never happen. tailgating would probably be done. look how they are controlling it now in OP from years ago when you could show up early on a sunday morning and have fun..

1 - The stadium is going to be around 64,000.
2 - The tickets are going to be more expensive.
3 - There is going to be significantly less open parking spots near the stadium for tailgating
1, 2 & 3 are going to cut down almost all of your concerns.
You realize that when you see a police officer working an event in uniform they are not always being paid by the City/Town right?

It is time to think big and novel - a revolving stadium so that everyone sits on the 50-yard line for a few plays each came. Then it wouldn't matter where it was located as it would be the 8th wonder of the world.
