I should look up the details of Jones' finances pertaining to the stadium if available to see how many more years he has to go with payments. The point remains that there are no guarantees when it comes to the NFL as far as 5,10, 15, or more years into the future. As some have said here the sports books may well have the ability to make fans want to show up there versus the stadium on Sunday. Further, I suspect that future fans in many current NFL may not be as dedicated to buying season tickets as the current batch of fans are. What happens when the inevitable happens in New England when going deep into the playoffs every year no longer happens every year? Success often breeds its own form of damnation. The Cowboys are the most valued sports franchise in the world vs all other sports, and they haven't been all that good lately, as in they haven't won a Superbowl (Championship) in 22 years. As much as the Bills have a bucket list tailgate the Cowboys have a bucket list stadium. That's not going away any time soon. Football mad Texas ain't turning on the Cowboys in our lifetime. If they do, football will be dead everywhere. It's an older book, and I know the league has changed, but 'The Rise and Decline of the NFL' went into great detail about the how the league and the team owners made sure that values just kept going up, even if it meant loaning each other money for bailouts. I suspect the current NFL can't afford for a team like Dallas to be anything but the most valuable team, or at least very near the top. They'll do everything they can to make sure Jerry is successful, it's good for the league. Edited July 31, 2019 by driddles

Or they can "sell" the chance to have your own cutout made... pay $150 and get your cut out placed in a seat at a game! 1

Couple key areas they want to target 1) Most people just like having it on their phone better..i know i do. Not worried bout leaving tickets at home, losing them etc. 2) The print at home tickets invited crazy amounts of fraud. 3) absolutely chit ton cheaper not to print the tickets..and in their spin save the planet! 4) drives people to their "approved" secondary sellers Stubhub and Ticketmaster ..instead of scalpers on game day( thats the one thing that I miss with no hard tickets) 18 hours ago, Augie said: I think it may just be to piss me off! If that’s the goal, it’s a terrific success! can you give me other areas that do that so I can beef up on them prior to the opener?

Nextmanup Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 I'd like to see how this Baltimore data compares to other markets around the league. I'm sure this sort of thing goes on in all markets, to an extent.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Ravens Related QB Jackson counters coach, says he'll run less OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Coach John Harbaugh recently said Lamar Jacksonwill run just as much as he did last season, but the Baltimore Ravens franchise quarterback believes otherwise. Jackson, who set the NFL single-season record in 2018 for rushing attempts by a quarterback with 147, said on "The Rich Eisen Show" on Thursday that he doesn't expect to carry the ball as much as his rookie season. Asked if he could sustain that physical aspect of the game, Jackson said: "Absolutely. I've put on weight. But I don't think I'll be running as much as I did last year. There were a lot of [run-pass options] and a lot of sudden changes in last year's game. This will be totally different."
Elite Poster Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Might have more to do with the PSLs, like the message clearly stated, but keep speculating Bills fans...
Misterbluesky Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 I haven't seen one Bills Commercial on local TV this summer. Very odd.

It’s not JUST because I’m a technologically inept old man, despite what @plenzmd1 will tell you! Even with the tech people they had at the stadium to help in Atlanta, it took until the 3rd or 4th guy to get all the settings right and get into the stadium. If their own tech people can’t figure it out, they just aren’t doing it right!!! ? . Question for you (or anyone who knows). The new phone app tickets, IF a person buys multiple tickets and lets say one or more in the group doesn't have a cell phone. Let's say a child or elder, can the buyer have more than 1 ticket on his phone to legally let in the ones that don't?

But I have no idea what might have changed. 1
