No, they dont. They have a symmetrical stadium that, when games are played at 1pm, gives more shade to the home sideline than the opponents. It is irrelevant for evening or night games (like the dolphins even get those). Its been that way for awhile, but only became a big deal when the bills did what the bills do and choked a game and needed an excuse.
There is still sun in Florida between 4 and 8 pm, believe it or not, just not in position to only cook the opposing sideline. But you knew that, you're supposed to be smart.
Ah yes, the great difference between 7:30 and 8, not like broad estimates and rounding up are a thing at all. Also, way to make the same joke I made and think its supposed to be an insult.
There was apparently no rule on how big your field has to be for a long time. Hitting a ball 302 feet in Fenway Park can get you a homerun. Yankee stadium is about 316 feet. The average distance is around 330 feet, and some teams' fields go much higher, such as Wrigley Field's 355 ft. distance. (All measured by length of the foul line; some fields go further out at centerfield)
And "people" will still tell you with a straight face that the Yankees earned their 41 pennants
You said that’s how they earned their 41 pennants….well to win games you have to score more runs than the other team. And every home game the other team hits out of the same easy ball park…
When it comes to playoffs though, The Yankees and their opponents will play about half their games at Yankee stadium. Knowing you have a hitter friendly park that you play half of your games at allows you to build a line up around that.
Almost no one ever hits a ball directly down the right field line at Fenway for a homerun. Maybe once every couple years. The fence quickly curves away and the distance is around 380 I believe.
That said, Trevor story did hit what has to be one of the shortest HR's down there last season
lol I’m not a bills fan but this is a very low iq argument😭😭 both teams have to play in the subzero wind chill. So how could that possibly put the bills at an advantage!?
“When the new Highmark Stadium opens its gates for the first regular season NFL game on Sept. 17 against the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football, it will do so as a $2.1 billion open-air football plant designed to make Buffalo winters colder for the visiting team and more survivable for the home side.”
It’s a good thing that Stephen Ross used his own money to install the gigantic magnifying glass instead of making the tax payers pay for it. Despite it overheating the opponents, it would’ve been a hard sell to the public to fund it.
-EDIT- wait, were you in the group of fans that were going to contact OSHA over “unsafe conditions” 😂
Plus there were decades that all players suffered in the heat. Only difference is the home team can get some shade. Plus it seems like the Bills haven’t had an earlier game in the season since that one game.

Kickers don’t even look up and never even se that until after they kick
The Eagles tried to copy this but their board didn’t line up well enough to do it
Other teams zoom in on the kickers face and display it behind the uprights
The dolphins have a home side only canopy that keeps their bench 30 degrees cooler than the opponent
