    Do people really want their seats? I have so many memories in that stadium. In many ways, it’s my happy place. At the same time, I can’t wait for the new stadium and have no desire to have some crappy plastic chairs at my house. What are you supposed to do with it? Are we supposed to just look at them and be like, “remember the snow game?” 

    I would say there will definitely be a market for them.  You can still find many old seats from the Aud proudly hanging up in bars, gyms, mancaves etc. all over WNY.

    If the price is reasonable I would like to get my seat however I'm not expecting the prices to be reasonable at all so not sure if I would pull the trigger on my seat.

    Almost time to watch Planes Trains and Automobiles again. What a film. Anyone who doesn't well up at that final shot of Candy isn't human imo

    I just watched the John Candy documentary over the weekend.  Def a must watch if your a fan of the Candyman

    oldie but goodie. Inspired by the lyrical thread. 

     

    Beastie Boys

    It's a classic but in modern times it kinda sucks the Chiefs have chosen this as their anthem song 🤮

    The Ravens game this year and last year in the playoffs. 

    But I've been to the 31-0 route of the patriots in 03, the Jim Kelly tackles the guy who INT'd him to break his leg game, the double KR for TD game against the Jets, the Patriots playoff game, the Jacksonville break the streak playoff game, and plenty of really fun games.

    The Ravens comeback game this year was awesome but I feel like so many fans had left by the time the Bills started coming back that it kinda took away from being an all-time had to be in the stadium moment.  Don't get me wrong those of us that stayed were going crazy but I can't imagine what it would have been like if the stadium was still even just 75-80% full at the end

    As an 11 year old, my brother had gotten me and him tickets to the wildcard game against Houston on 1/3/1993

     

     

    unfortunately, I had my appendix removed on 1/1/93

     

    so I missed the effing game 

     

     

    that would have been my first game …

     

    Ouch!  That one is painful brother.  I was wondering if anybody was going to have stories about missing that game so kinda funny this was the first reply.

    Let me ask you this...what game ended up being your first!?

  6. Obviously we're all disappointed with the state of the team right now heading into the bye week but in the spirit of the Farewell Season at Highmark wanted to start a fun topic as a distraction.

     

    Were there any games you kick yourself for not attending now?  I am not talking about games you just wish you could have been at that's a whole different conversation but I'm specifically asking about games where either you had tickets and decided not to go for whatever reason or were offered tickets to go by a buddy or family member and didn't pull the trigger.  What are your stories?  

     

    The big one that sticks out to me was the snow globe game against the Colts in 2017.  Season ticket holder that goes to most games but will usually skip 1-3 regular season games every year.  We were still in the drought it was late in the season and I was just anticipating it being a regular crappy weather game and just felt meh about going.  Very early on I realized that it was not going to be a regular crappy weather game but much more an all-time Bills stadium weather game to be at and immediately regretted not going to that one.  I have been at pretty much all of the other insane weather games(post 2000s) that get brought up but as we get ready to say goodbye to Highmark it's a really big regret of mine that I don't have the memory of being in attendance for that one

    We sat in the nosebleeds to see the Eagles and Chris Stapleton not too long ago. They will have to PAY ME more than $300 to get me to do it again in a giant arena. On the flip side, we saw Jonathan Taylor (James’ brother) in a tiny little venue a couple tables from the stage and it was awesome! And for a fraction of the price. Great time. 

     

    Side note: We saw Van Morrison on his “everything but the hits tour”. He played for a couple hours without ever playing anything familiar. That was impressive, but not in a good way. I felt ripped off after that one. 

    Yeah I usually have no interest in going to the mega concerts that come to Buffalo at Highmark or Keybank Center but Artpark in Lewiston gets alot of good shows and they are usually much more reasonably priced and you are much closer to the bands performing than at the overpriced stadium and arena shows.  Then there's outdoor concerts all over WNY throughout the Summer , sometimes just cover bands or local bands but ends up being a great value to check out some live music

  8. With how expensive everything is getting I am being more strict on purchasing concert/entertainment tickets. If it's something I really want to see I don't mind splurging once in awhile. There's so much good content out there you can watch on Netflix, Amazon, YouTube etc right from your couch 

     

    And I agree as for live music there's alot of much better smaller scale shows you can go to that are great without having to pay $300 to sit in the nosebleeds at a bad venue to begin with

    Beane and McD are perfectly aligned in philosophy surrounding team building.

     

    It is futile imo to parse out their responsibility. Beane gets the players McD wants or who fit what McD wants to do.

     

    They are joined at the hip. Saying it’s all Beane’s fault or McD’s fault is not close to the truth. They both deserve the credit and the blame imo.

    Time to move on from both
