Might want to read that again…🙄

They’re still so bipolar though. Which version are we getting each night? They can be great or horrible and there’s seemingly no rhyme or reason to guessing which one it’ll be. I hope the above reports are true and it’s gloves off time from Lindy. Team has been softer than baby crap for years, nothing gets better till that changes.

A few deep so not going to read through the whole thread, but It’s by design. It’s how the league can sway desired outcomes. Don't shoot the messenger!

I signed for my 4 today. The “comparable” section to my current 109 was section 134. Those were a 6K PSL. There were also 4 available in Section 135 for 8K that I liked better and I went with those. I’m back far enough where I think I’ll get pretty good coverage from the canopy (we looked “straight up” in the 3D view). I got seasons in my name just over 10 years ago with the hope that I’d have this decision to make at some point. I had considered getting some Kelly / Pepsi / Toyota club seats, but didn’t want to be “forced” into the highest priced PSLs (and biggest per season increase) in a potential new stadium, so I’m glad I didn’t. I do feel for the long timers in the lower bowl that will be priced out but they’ve also had an unbelievably “good deal” in the current stadium for many years. And my understanding was that even if I declined my current comparable seats, I would have SOME option to downgrade, so it’s not like people in this boat are totally SOL. There’s no perfect way to do all of this. It may be hard to believe for people that don’t have anything else to compare it to, but this IS the norm nowadays in professional sports (for better or worse). Ultimately I’ll be paying about the same as current club seats and I’m ok with that. It’s at the high end of my limit but it’s pretty much what I had planned for. I brought my son to his first game a few weeks ago and he’s already been asking when he can go back. I think we’ll make a lot of good memories there and I’m excited to see the next chapter.

My kid was a better skater at 4 😂

That was like 3 chances ago. He’s been strictly a backup for a while now.

It takes Martin FOREVER to get a punt off. I’ve never seen so many “near” blocks with regularity. It will continue to happen and I’m sure we’ll have one blocked at the worst possible time.

I took my son to his first regular season game. We’ve done kids day many times but he’s about to turn 8 so he fully understands they don’t mean anything. When the schedule came out I had this one pegged since Titans stink, I didn’t anticipate a big opposing fan presence in our section, weather “should” be decent, etc. The whole weekend was absolutely perfect. We left Ohio early Saturday morning and drove right to the Naval yard (well, technically stopped at Starbucks in Hamburg for a coffee and ended up running into one of my buddies from high school I hadn’t seen for a few years). Didn’t get to stay as long as we would have liked too but he really loved exploring all the ships. We grabbed lunch then headed over to the stadium where we got a full tour of the field house, press box, weight room, locker room, and field as a thank you for 10 years of being a season ticket holder. Very cool to see all the facilities and my son loved running around on the field and diving into the end zone. After the tour we went into the Bills store to buy some gear and we ran into James Cook! He was casually strolling through the store with a couple buddies and was gracious enough to stop for a quick picture with my son who was beaming. We wished him luck and moved along. Had some great wings and then obviously were treated to a great victory with absolutely perfect weather. Tailgate was great, lots of nice people all around us. One neighbor gave him a Bills cookie which he was pumped about. Stadium environment couldn’t have been better either. We know a lot of the people around us but everyone was great. Got lots of high fives and singing of the shout song. Leaving the stadium he was getting tons of high fives from random strangers as he led the shout chant. Very special weekend for my family getting this fourth generation Bills fan his first real taste. Especially meaningful for my dad who lost his own father when he was in his early 20s. My wife and I couldn’t stop gushing about how perfect it all was.

They all suck. I was there to see it in person unfortunately. They’ve sucked the life out of my fandom over the last decade. In that case, you won’t have to worry about watching anymore…😂

He’s the worst in the league. Literally anyone would be better

He was battling turf toe wasn’t he? Could factor into his dismal production so far but his use or lack thereof has been a big disappointment.

It sure is. Absolutely love it out there. We’re in a great town (Whitefish) and are walking distance to downtown, Whitefish lake, and a number of restaurants & bars. 10 minute drive or bus ride (free) up to a major ski resort, and about 30-40 minutes over to Glacier national park. Flathead lake (huge) is about 30 min south and there are countless other lakes, rivers, etc to scratch just about any “outdoorsy” itch you could ever dream of. We Airbnb it but usually get out there ourselves 4-6 times a year because we love it so much. I can work remote now for chunks of time so planning on getting some more extended visits lined up in the future!

Mind sharing what section you’re in now? I’m in 109 and just trying to get a gauge on what they’re going to hit me for.

I had that one pegged as well and even had flights and hotels booked but had to back off as we had too much other stuff going on leading up to that weekend. We own a condo in northwest Montana and plan was to go out there and do a bit of maintenance for a couple days then catch the direct flight over to Seattle then direct flight back to Cbus the day after the game. Would have worked out nice. Oh well, that’ll be the plan for next time!

That block party before the playoff game was a blast. Aside from the result of the game, everything else about the experience that weekend was great. One of my favorite away game experiences and the Houston fans were great. The walk across the lot back over to the Holiday inn was pretty lonely though…Have fun everyone who will be there!
