My old Hamburg friends and I make one game every year a reunion, usually Thanksgiving weekend. We have Philly, Rochester, NYC, Georgia, Colorado and Maryland (me) coming into town for this one.
The woman on the phone at the Bills ticket office told me at 9:30 this morning that the opener was sold out and the lower bowl was sold out for almost every other game. I bought 32 tickets to the Miami game and was limited to row 30 and up for that many seats.
