Jamie Nails Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 My buddy says staff took them down becuase they were concerned that the fans were going to do it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 They took them down themselves. A lot of colleges do that to deter it. Good to see that they were worried/prepared for it. Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 My buddy says staff took them down becuase they were concerned that the fans were going to do it themselves. Yeah, it looks like there were barely 10 people around the goalpost in that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are still in their seats, and security doesn't seem concerned with it coming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West End Stench Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 This is just a friendly thread reminder that the Bills are 3-0. That is all. Carry on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) i think they knew we were gonna storm the field, so to make sure the security people didn't get hurt, they lowered them themselves.....lucky for them.(sarcasm) Edited September 26, 2011 by papazoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFlutie Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Ah that's BS. I wonder if fans will ever storm the field again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also so fans don't get injured... and then sue the team. Because no matter what the back of the ticket says, there would be lawsuits and legal costs. Easier in the long run to just have staff loosen some bolts. And instead of the team looking like inveterate pricks, we fans get the sense that they actually give a sh-- about what today's win means.

Acantha Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Ah that's BS. I wonder if fans will ever storm the field again... It wouldn't surprise me to see it happen if the Bills clinch the playoffs at home. But it doesn't happen in the NFL like it once did, so it might be a longshot.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 We're so pacifified nowadays... The MIA game... My future wife who is all passive and a total liberal being one of the first with the guts to jump down off the wall onto the field... And then the issuing flood gates of fans pouring down... Big fun... Kids noiwadays can't have a little fun!!! Then were the days when you could actually do stuff and people had the gumption! Maybe back then it was more of a defensive mechanism... Yiou had to rush the field... It was the safest thing to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't happen in the NFL like it once did, so it might be a longshot. The goalposts coming down is an AFL tradition. The first time I saw it was in the late 1970's when the Broncos beat the Raiders to get to the Superbowl. I was like 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
