    So a list exists? Already? That’s what you are saying. The airlines share this info with each other


    Yes, the individual airlines ban people from travel based on extreme bad behaviour.  If you are banned from one of the 26 airlines in the Star Alliance there's a good chance you are banned from all 26. 

    It's not all alcohol fuelled ( a lot is), one of my friends banned a man a few years ago who was belligerent, swearing at any woman who was sitting in a window seat and telling them as a man he has a right to that seat and they had to move, then refusing to take his assigned seat and making it impossible for the plane to take off.

    People buy season tickets often knowing that they can make many of the games, but maybe they have a conflict for a couple of the games. Or they buy more tickets than they need for friends and family to come with them but that doesn't always work out, so they need to sell some tickets for some games.

     

    It's not always because you are just trying to make money or are disloyal to your team.

     

    Trying to manufacture a loyal fan base that doesn't sell their tickets is foolhardy. It's not who their fan base is and trying to force them to be that way is not going to work. They'll just have much fewer people willing to pay for season tickets.

    You're purposefully responding to just parts of my post to fit your opinions.  I said "If people are just buying Titans season tickets to sell them to visiting fans then good on the club* for trying to limit transfers. "

    The Titans will know who buys tickets and just resells all of them.  I suspect/hope there is more to this than just trying to stop Bengals and Bills/KC fans from taking over their stadium.

    I also said If you are one of the Bills fans that complains about Bills STH selling tickets then you should support this move.  I'm not one of those fans and like you I believe it's normal for people to need to sell a game or two.  I also fully plan on being in Nashville if the Bills end up playing there.

    Wow. Talk about a crybaby move. And they are screwing over any fans who want to sell tickets.

    There's a difference between not doing it because you choose to and not doing it because you can't.

    I don't see it.  If people are just buying Titans season tickets to sell them to visiting fans then good on the club* for trying to limit transfers.  

    * as long as they keep the policy through next year and thin the list of people who just buy tickets to re-sell them.

    It wasn’t just getting a few inches.  They still would have had to score a TD with 20 seconds left or win it in OT.     
     

     

    He's talking Josh's slip on the 1 yard line against Tennessee.  No slip and Josh gets the TD and the Bills have home-field advantage.  There were 21 seconds left at that point.  I know it's been a while but we lost by 3 points, Josh gets the TD there and we are likely going up by 4.  Tennessee would have needed a TD with whatever time would have been left (21 seconds minus the time for kickoff).

    Not sure this is right thread but any idea on where one should stay in KC?  Is rental car needed?  Looks like stadium a good ways from airport and not in downtown. There less than 48 hours but would like to grab some bbq or hit any major site.  Is there a Bills backer club or place to go Sat night.  This will be a heavy weight fight.  Go Bills. 

    Join the Bills Backers of Kansas City facebook group.  They've got all the info for Saturday night.  Here's the main bit

    all this pats love is going to make it so sweet when we blow them out of the water tomorrow night....   Bills are winning this game by 14+ 

     

    The 5 coldest games in NFL history have all been fairly low scoring games with only 1 team winning by more than 7 points.  I'm not sure either team is blowing the other team out.


    Raiders vs. Browns (Jan. 4, 1981): -4 degrees final score 14 - 12
    Giants vs. Packers (Jan. 20, 2008): -4 degrees final score 23 - 20

    Seahawks vs. Vikings (Jan. 10, 2016): -6 degrees final score 10 - 9

    Chargers vs. Bengals (Jan. 10, 1982): -9 degrees final score 27 - 7 

    Cowboys vs. Packers (Dec. 31, 1967): -13 degrees final score 21 - 17 

  7. Somethings that make matters worse:

     

    1. Field house is closed due to covid, so no where to get inside and warm up pre game.

     

    2. No re-entry so you can't go to your vehicle around halftime and try to get 20 minutes of heat (yeah you'd miss some game time, but better to miss some than all)

     

    3. The Bills have never given fans spaces to take a break from the elements.  A few wedding tents with heaters, people aren't looking for 80 degrees but a few places with 50 degree temperatures would settle a lot of nerves.

     

    They should extend the security/ticket staff for another quarter and allow re-entry up to the end of the 3rd.

    But before November all of this was moot as you were not even allowed in at all....yet the Bills were getting excellent attendance numbers with no Canadians.

     

    Therefore, it's the weather, not the border. 

    Of course.  Ticket demand in Sept, Oct, Nov is much higher than Dec and now Jan, always has been.  I get multiple people asking if I have spare tickets in the warmer time of the year, no one ever asks me for a December game.

    Has something changed in the last week making it harder for Canadians to enter the US?  The US just opened the border for nonessential travel in November.

    Yes something changed in mid December.  We now have to do a PCR test in the US for trips under 72 hours in order to return to Canada.  I've got to do a $100 same day PCR test to go to the game Saturday night.... well to come home, but you get the idea.  According to the Bills Canadians make up around 10% of season ticket holders, so it's a factor.

     

    Also - if I happen to test positive on that PCR test I am stuck in the US until I get a negative test, so hotels, food, more tests.  The cost can add up.  I've waited too long for a home playoff game so I'll take the risk, but it's easy to understand why others won't.

    Question: How bad would it have to be for local public health and government leaders to step in and say, “No game” in these conditions, because of the threat to peoples welfare? Has that ever happened? I know the NFL rules the world, but at some point a greater concern would have to supersede them. 

    Well... a -37 windchill didn't do it
