November 1984 Browns at Bills, pissed cold rain all day. It’s been all downhill since.

Riiiiiight....

Comeon september.....

The occasional “Happy Ad” must be pure gravy then! Thanks for your answer though.Didn’t think a paper could get by on obits and announcements, but here we are.

Makes me generally wonder how the Niagara Gazette is still even in existence.

Youse guys membah Tony Mandarich?

What Terry and Kim do on their own time is their business.

That time he just casually showed up at a game. Ha...just a normal dude taking in an afternoon of football, what’s everyone looking at??!?

Hard to keep the concept fresh in general, but in the author’s defense, not much has really changed here in 20 years besides the names.

“Terry Pegula is basically what Ralph Wiggum would be as an adult.” A+

A little old blue hair once told me that I looked like a young Telly Savales. Hey I’ll take what I can get!!

Pro stadiums very, very rarely pay back into the community. It’s accepted fact, plenty of professional studies and articles out there that prove it. It would be a hulking waste of prime downtown space in Cobblestone.

Glass houses and all that. Double standards and what not.

They can’t use cardboard tix to force you to download an app, track your location or have you agree to terms that allow said app to harvest data to be used to sell you more crap. Duh!

I’d like to see what some of these obvious “Tens” that are being so critical look like. Post up your headshots, you message board supermodels!

This one’s gonna turn out pretty spicy!

NO U.

Youse guys ain’t got enough common cents.

“Let me just tell ya, I love this kid. He’s got all the tools and I tell ya just looks like a quarterback should look. Did I mention I just love this kid? Let me tell ya.....”

Imma eat some wings.

Yes.

Yeah we went to a random Indians game last year on a saturday afternoon, they took out a good part of the center field-right field lower seating and have a “plaza” type setup with bars, food carts and some SRO bleacher type seating. It was actually a really nice hangout, then we went up to the bridge/platform that they have in left field. It was a gorgeous day, and I definitely enjoyed walking around and checking out the different angles and viewing areas of the park. To your second point, yep that sums it up for me. I’ll pay the premium for the opener and go ala cart for later in the season. I don’t have the time/energy for all 8 games anymore, and I really got tired of seeing 4 games a year going for pennies on the dollar while I’m paying full price.

Has the “blind faith” loyalty finally been tapped out? Honest question. There’s only so much people can take before they ‘demand’ some sort of results. You will always have the “die hards”, but I get the feeling even some of those types are being more careful in regards to dropping good coin on this franchise. Season tix numbers are clearly down, they didn’t announce the number last year for the first time ever. I know several people/tix groups that were put off by the recent pricing changes too.

Sure, cost comes into play, especially when the twenty-somethings can’t afford to buy a house or start a family. Football tix take a backseat. But the attention span comes into play too. Mine certainly is an issue sometimes, but that’s because between TV timeouts, replay timeouts etc the league/officiating drags these games out sometimes to the point of unwatchable. No flow.

The “at home experience” gets better every year, and the attention span of the younger generations gets shorter and shorter. I think this factors in to overall ticket sales. The good thing for the NFL is there’s only 8 reg season home games to sell. I think MLB will be affected the most in the long run, too many games and a relatively slow moving sport.
