A stadium like no other

July 31st, 2007 Football, NFL Venues

I have pontificated in the past that the Buffalo Bills’ future in our city is indelibly tied to a replacement venue for the still functional yet aging Ralph Wilson Stadium. If I had my druthers, the Bills new home would be somewhere on the periphery of downtown, perhaps between the Cobblestone District and the Larkin Exchange, it would sport a retractable roof and would double as a new convention center, with other amenities and features providing for year round use.

And how about architecture? Check out these stunning renderings for the new stadium for Liverpool F.C. The venue is being designed by Dallas based HKS architects.

Could you even imagine a building like this here in Buffalo? *sigh* One can only dream…

    Well not to dump on Bills fans or anything, but Liverpool’s world wide following makes it a lot easier to finance something as cool as that stadium. They’re the most successful team in English football history and they’re replacing Anfield, which is much like trying to replace Fenway Park in Boston or Wrigley Field in Chicago. People expect you to raise the bar a bit.

    I’d be willing to bet they sell that place out for years to come. There’s a reason Liverpool’s supporters anthem is ‘You’ll never walk alone’.
