Longest playoff drought in the league, no QB, and this happens. Amazing. Credit to bills org, russ, Rex, fans, community.

Any discussion of "best fans in the NFL" is incomplete if the Bills are not at or near the top of the list.

Gotta be a misprint. I was told fewer and fewer people are going to games because the TV experience is better than the stadium experience now.

It's the El Pegual effect.

The Bills are pretty much sold out for every game but the Jets game.

 

So much for the crowd predicting half empty stadiums for the Bills this season with the blackout rule lifted.

They maybe half empty if the team doesn't play up to expectations. Just because he tix are sold doesn't mean people will actually come.

IT IS OFFICIAL

 

Bills Set Season-Ticket Record With Rex Ryan, Owner Pegula

 

 

55 years of history shattered or should I just say broken?

 

The Buffalo Bills have set a record for the most season tickets sold in their 55-year history after hiring Rex Ryan as head coach and re-affirming ties to their upstate New York home with a new owner.

 

The Bills said more than 57,500 season tickets have been purchased, breaking the previous record of 57,132 set in 1992, the year after the second of their four straight Super Bowl trips.


A total of about 60,000 season tickets are available and the team said it would create a waiting list if those sell out.

Actually the decline is supposed to hit next season, because most had already bought their season tickets before the announcement was made... :rolleyes:

You just can't see a bowl of cornflakes without unzipping your fly, can you?

That's true for sure but I was more referring to the people who said no one would buy tickets if they know they can watch them at home regardless so therefore the games would be tougher to sell out. If the blackout rule was still in effect this would be the first year in a long time where before the season even started it looked like we wouldn't have to worry about broadcasts.

Ha, I can definitely buy that as a possibility. :thumbsup:

Never thought I'd see the day. I want to see them create a waiting list for seasons just so I can say I lived long enough to see it.
