Lurker Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Well, that should calm the pitch fork and torches folks beating on the NFL's doors. Pass me another beer, will ya...
K D Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 of course they waited until we had a really good team. we are sure to sell out every game anyhow this season
filthymcnasty08 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Please continue to pack the Ralph people! and congrats!
papazoid Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 mostly good news.... still think the december games will be hard to sellout. the after market/ nfl ticket exchange demand and prices will be less in december.
K D Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 mostly good news.... still think the december games will be hard to sellout. the after market/ nfl ticket exchange demand and prices will be less in december. if we are winning in Sep-Nov then I think the Dec tickets will sell. we have been waiting so long for meaningful late season games that people will want to be a part of that atmosphere
JoeF Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Hero in this is FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler who put pressure on the NFL like none of his predecessors would.
Roger Goodell Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The NFL looks forward to evaluating the pros and cons if this policy for the fans during the 2015 season.
johnwalter Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 The NFL looks forward to evaluating the pros and cons if this policy for the fans during the 2015 season. uh what.
Martifal Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Damn I'm currently in WNY but usually reside in South Florida, a Dolphins blackout often resulted in a televised Bills game.
Peter Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 It will be interesting to see how this affects home attendance - particularly for home games when the weather is bad.
K D Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Now I can finally move back to WNY. oh is that why you left? typically it's the bad weather, bad economy, lack of jobs, high taxes...
shrader Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Damn I'm currently in WNY but usually reside in South Florida, a Dolphins blackout often resulted in a televised Bills game. A blackout didn't result in no game being aired at all? I'm out of touch on this one since I've been out of Buffalo for years.
Direhard Fan Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 My mother missed many a game because she passed when she was 99 and couldn't walk those steps the last 20 years. She loved the Bill's. Better late than never.

Better late than never. sorry to hear that. my grandpa is 91 and was a season ticket holder for 30 yrs. i hope he gets to see some more winning football from this team in his lifetime. i try and take him to a preseason game every year but i'm sure he wishes he could be there for the regular season. but like you said, i think it's too much when it's a packed stadium. at least now he will get to see every game!
