Buffaloed in Pa Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Goodell turned him down. Holds over one hundred thousand. Closer than Detroit. Goodell and company ,said it didn`t have the infrastructure ? What a douche. Holds those screaming college kids.

Goodell and company ,said it didn`t have the infrastructure ? What a douche. Holds those screaming college kids. I don't have the link but the denial was a function of the infrastructure. It is not wired for NFL replays or sideline equipment. It would have been an awesome venue to play in tonight!
BuffaloBud Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Hmm? What is the difference between NCAA replays and NFL replays?
The Wiz Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Hmm? What is the difference between NCAA replays and NFL replays? How much the refs are paid off.
Best Player Available Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I like Beavers. Just sayin.............
Corp000085 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 How much the refs are paid off. Nice one... So early on a Monday morning too!
YoloinOhio Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) It's in here (good read btw on the logistics of moving an nfl game) Page 2 http://mmqb.si.com/2014/11/24/odell-beckham-catch-new-york-giants-week-12-nfl/2/ Edited November 24, 2014 by YoloinOhio
peterpan Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 For one, nfl field goal post are narrower than college. Maybe they didnt have an nfl sized set to swap in?
shrader Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 They also get more money by having it in an NFL stadium. The tickets were free right? But there's still the concession money and any other money generated during a game.
peterpan Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Just read the article - did anyone else notice that the guy repeatedly meant ion 'competitive issues' with teams practicing at facilities where they would be playing in the future? Most notably at foxboro???? I read between those lines to see that cheating is alive and well in the NFL and everyone in the know, knows it Just read the article - did anyone else notice that the guy repeatedly meant ion 'competitive issues' with teams practicing at facilities where they would be playing in the future?

Heitz Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Goodell turned him down. Holds over one hundred thousand. Closer than Detroit. Goodell and company ,said it didn`t have the infrastructure ? What a douche. Holds those screaming college kids. Yes, it's all obviously Goodell's fault... o_O Love that Poloncarz is the call that pushed the Bills out of Buffalo, wasn't he making a lot of bad noise when the Bills sale was going through? Let’s begin at the beginning, when Buffalo was ruled out. Grubman, just before a noon logistics meeting with the NFL staff on Thursday, got a text message from Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz, saying a snow-laden roof at a nursing home in Buffalo had just collapsed. Grubman said, “That’s it. We’re not playing in Buffalo.”
Acantha Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I understand that there's way more involved here than a fan like myself really knows, but I do think the NFL may have missed out on a fun venue given the circumstances. The article said something along the lines of COULD we play the game like that, yes, but the preference is for a normal game day experience. Again, I understand, the more things are different the more the losing team and fans get to cry outrage when the game is over. I still think it would be pretty cool to see a game in a non-traditional venue with a bunch of fans that show up just because it's something they never get to see. Edited November 24, 2014 by Acantha
Captain Hindsight Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Interesting that they would have considered a saw with the Jets if we hadn't already played them. Something I never considered
ricojes Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 For one, nfl field goal post are narrower than college. Maybe they didnt have an nfl sized set to swap in? I believe the goal posts are the same width in the NFL and College.
