Just Jack Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Simple solution. Only allow 5-10,000 fans. Only fans with tickets can get into the Bills parking lots. Cars will be spaced out. Private lots will not be allowed to have people parking/tailgate or be ticketed/fined. Your ticket will have a specific entry gate and time for entry. Maybe even have specific lot on your ticket, so you don't need to walk all the way around the stadium to your gate. 2
RiotAct Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Interesting - thanks for posting. Aren’t police already there clamping down on gameday in the vicinity of the stadium? Seems like they could put a solid plan in place ... of course, you’re always gonna have a few rowdies who do what they want regardless.

If they don’t, then they’re nowhere near as on top of a plan to re-open as I thought they were. It's the satellite lots that are the problem.

Does their plan involve saying “pretty please don’t get blitzed and act ridiculous at the first playoff game here in 25 years?” Or are there other steps in the plan?

Sounds like them revving up the excuse machine. Bingo. Like he was glad to find a reason to blame others for his holier-than-all position.

Pop open the trunks of cars as a condition of entry - no grills, beer, etc allowed. You could restrict the main routes of entry to residents with ID and ticket holders (e.g. Abbott, Big Tree, etc). I think this is possible to do, it's a matter of convincing the politicians. 1

Mat68 Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 Simple open the stadium lots at 11. Only those who pay for a ticket and parking pass get in. People want to tailgate and all that do it off site. No reason 10 to 20,000 cant be in Bills Stadium.

For all that I understand what happened last night, it doesn't send out the right message as far as fans ability to do all the right things, outside of the stadium. Tbh, and also to be fair, I was actually moderately impressed with the fact that the vast majority, appeared to be masked up - even though the 'social distancing' was negligable. Than it seems safer to have limited capacity outdoors at the stadium than people crowding together indoors at houses for parties, IMO.

Most cities aren't allowing fans. KC will have fans. Tennessee can have fans if they win the South. Cleveland can have fans if they win the North. Indy can have fans if they win the South. Buffalo and Pittsburgh are the only two AFC teams that may host playoff games and not be allowed fans. Edited December 20, 2020 by SCBills 2 1

People could tailgate now. If not, why not? closed lots? Then only let those with game tickets into the lots and patrol them.

RyanC883 Posted December 20, 2020 Posted December 20, 2020 55 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: How can they say "no tailgating" yet open parking lots and let fans in? Serious question, how do you see this working? I mean, it's not like they were giving out tailgate permits at the airport yet we have reports of people who were there that a lot of tailgating-type activities were going on there. And we have the behaviors of not mask wearing in crowds being defended as "it's a free country" That seems to me to indicate that authorities have some valid concerns that Bills fans are "wild things" who wouldn't take kindly to the notion of following restrictions. How do you see it differently? Good question. I'd say, no ticket, no entrance to the lot. Security enforcing no tailgating restriction. I assume the lots are currently closed, or there would be people there during games anyway. So just open it up to only those limited number of people who can attend the games. As for the "it's a free country", the folks at the Airport were generally wearing masks. Also, a secure lot and stadium allows for mask enforcement, just as does going to a grocery store, etc.

That may work for the stadium lots sure. I’m sure there are several ways to go about cleanly enforcing it. My only point was you just cannot trust the fans alone to behave. Even a relatively limited number of them if they are thinking of allowing 10-12,000 or whatever it may be. People will be too amped up.
