Experience at the Ralph Ranked 15th in the NFL by SI

Found this while looking around on The Pride of Detroit.

Sports Illustrated ranked the stadium experiences for the NFL and the Bills ranked #15. Interesting read, although I would think we'd crack the top ten. Gotta love those $8.50 tall boy Labatts! They also messed up and have a picture of Edwards but the caption says it's J.P.

yeah

i read that earlier. i am pretty sure if SI deemed the on-field product to be better we would've ranked a lot higher. it seemed a lot of the negatives noted were due to not having a playoff team in a long time. while that does affect the experience, i dont think it should be included as it is normally cyclical. im sure the early 90s rich stadium would've been in the top 5 to 10 even when compared to newer stadiums.

ive been to games in a lot of different stadiums and i havent found that the newer facilities are necessarily better. fedex in dc was disappointing as we had relatively good seats and you still needed a binoculars to have any idea who people were. the lions new stadium is extremely nice, but the fans were amazingly disinterested and obnoxious at the same time (and i cant get used to watching indoors). the game last year was the day after the tigers punched their series ticket so some of the detroit fans were real belligerent and arrogant. not that that is a bad thing...
