Leelee Phoenix Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Not mentioned is that there's expected 1-3 inches of snow with ~15 degree temps. Sane people aren't going to watch football and drive through traffic in this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Those are tickets on the "secondary market", ie StubHub and TicketExchange, not from Green Bay directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 jeez.. the "revered" small market team....http://profootballta...r-sunday-cheap/ I thought all their seats were season tickets that were willed from generation to generation.

C.Biscuit97 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Wait, so it's easier to support good teams than bad ones. Bills fans have their faults. But no franchise in sports would attend games as well as we do if they missed the playoffs 13 (and counting) years in a row. NE was a joke franchise before the mid 90s.

dwight in philly Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 I thought all their seats were season tickets that were willed from generation to generation. they are, but my point is that buffalo gets hit hard for not selling out games in december due to them essentially sucking for the past 13 years. let somebody else other than the usual suspects get a bit called out.

In my travels, I don't think people really know about that. Everywhere I go, people always compliment Bills fans for their passion. Seriously, how many franchises can go 13 years without the playoffs and play in the conditions we do in an old stadium and have almost a 90% attendance? Not many I guess.

Not many I guess. i agree totally.. but it sometimes gets lost when 40 thousand show up in december.. when that happens it seems to give brandon and CO fuel for the fire in the grandiose "small market" .making the team "viable" rhetoric.

I get where you're coming from but I don't see Brandon as the enemy. His number one job is to look out for this franchise long term. He is a WNY guy. The second the Bills get the rep as a team that doesn't support their team, they are in serious danger. I really do believe the Toronto series was started with good intentions (expand the brand, make more money). That said, it's served it's purpose and it's time to end it. But it's on the team to make December games mean something. IF the Bills were competing for a playoff spot, the Miami game would be a sell out easy, even if it was blizzard.

Campy Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 they are, but my point is that buffalo gets hit hard for not selling out games in december due to them essentially sucking for the past 13 years. let somebody else other than the usual suspects get a bit called out. I called a buddy of mine who lives in Milwaukee to bust his chops about it, He said the game is sold out and will be on local TV. But I agree, it's somehow nice to know they'll have empty seats there In my travels, I don't think people really know about that. Everywhere I go, people always compliment Bills fans for their passion. Seriously, how many franchises can go 13 years without the playoffs and play in the conditions we do in an old stadium and have almost a 90% attendance? Not many I guess. At my local watering hole I'm often told by old and new friends alike how they respect Bills fans. And I understand why they say it, it's the same way I feel about fans of the Lions, Browns, Cards, et al - they can't call any of us bandwagon fans.

filthymcnasty08 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Even the most faithful have their breaking points with the money it takes to get a ticket, park, eat and drink …. and watch bad product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Are we really pointing at season ticket holders in Green Bay having trouble re-selling tickets to the buffalo bills having 20k unsold (and season ticket holders being just as unable to resell tickets)? Grasping a little on this one. Are we going to post pictures of a scalper in the parking lot that didnt sell his before kickoff in New England next?
