Bills are figuring out the best way to configure video boards at new stadium

When the Bills’ new stadium had a soft launch on Saturday, some spoke hard truths about the size of the video boards.

They are, for now, a work in progress.

Bills chief operating officer Pete Guelli told PFT on Monday that they are working through the utilization of the new screens.

Watch one of the clips. There’s space on each side of the videos that isn’t being used. When it’s time to display a replay during a game, more of the total available space can be utilized.

And while the total available space may not be as large as it is in other stadiums, it can become a distraction. In Dallas, for example, the gigantic screen hovering over the field becomes a distraction, drawing the eyes to the video when they should be on the live action below.

Whatever they decide, there’s no denying that it’s an excellent new venue, with an open-air stadium and a grass field and a home for the Bills ideally for decades to come.
