And the Bills can't play one lousy game there due to a special circumstance? The NFL is whack. i think the u of minn stadium had to go through some nfl mandated upgrades before that venue was approved

I realize there are bigger issues here, but it sure does suck that we finally get rid of the Toronto game and here we are with 7 home games again. The storm is supposed to end tonight, I just can't believe they wouldn't be able to clear the snow in 3-4 days time if NFL moved the game to Monday or Tuesday. Totally doable for me... Only around 3 hours for me! Not sure how my brother would get there... I suppose if he can get his car out... He's got my other ticket. Anybody know how to get tickets to somebody quick in this case? In case he can't make it, how would my brother pass the tickets on to me?

Dorkington Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Considering how much we suck at home this year, it might be a blessing in disguise.
Big Turk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Guess the Rogers Centre getting a game after all this year! Lmao!

You would think special circumstances would come into play. A natural disaster is just that. Didn't the Saints play in San Antonio post Katrina? That was a non NFL venue. Its just a bad situation all around, I know there's no solution that will please everyone.

Oh, you mean like London. Oh wait, you mean like Toronto. NFL will always do whats best for the NFL and not the fans. No reason whatsoever this game shouldn't be in Syracuse. First, it would reduce the travel for the Jets (minimally) and then the Bills. Second, it would allow both teams to actually get their fans into the stadium. Third, the CBS production vans are here and they'd have to travel less. But alas, putting a few dollars more in the pockets of another NFL owner and concessionairre matters more. Protect the $hield.

Is the NFL considering what's best for the Bills, Buffalo, or the fans? Or what's best for the NFL?

PromoTheRobot Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 There is no easy solution. No place is a good option. Might as well play in Detroit. Be indoors after all this snow crap.
PO'14 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 No need to worry Fruitcakes...Walt Coleman is reffing the game!

Oh well... Did the nfl say anything about a black out?
Boolay Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Why not play in Jersey and give Bills 2 home games vs Jets next year. Giants play at 8:30
sullim4 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 ... or, why not do it in Cleveland on Monday night? Cleveland is closer to Buffalo than Detroit...
