Albany,n.y. Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I don't know how things are set up in Houston, but it would be impossible to do this at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Thousands of people park in private lots & walk to the stadium. They could never stop people from parking elsewhere & then walking to their tailgate of choice. There are too many ways to enter the stadium parking lots. They'd have to build a lot of fencing & start checking pedestrian tickets at pedestrian gates to the lots.
clearwater cadet Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 The NFL was a far better place before Jerry Jones, Bob Kraft, and Dan Synder came along. Pretty your going to have to pay a cover charge to get in the bathroom. God forbid you have to flush twice.

The Chron's story was sort of vague, but I think the Houston idea is meant to stop cars without game tix, not walk-ins. When we were there in '06, there were THOUSANDS of people who stayed outside to tailgate -- the game was sold out, but it sure didn't look like it inside the stadium...

I don't think the bills would do the tailgate ticket thing but might "Clear Out" the lots during the game. On a side not O.P. Police will not be patroling the stadium lots anymore nor transport arresties to jail. Erie County Sheriffs will be taking over those duties.
