Rubes Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 I don't know about others, but there's no way I could watch a 3-hour Bills game confined to a car. I need to pace around like a crazy man jacked on amphetamines. 1

But, they wouldn't have to pay you a dime until you "win".

Lord Cuomo has allowed 6700 fans and no tailgating. The Pegs must feel so stupid.
MJS Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Because they expected you to be an adult and find your own way to watch the game.
scuba guy Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Is,this thread,locked yet Winey Let's go over the rules 1) no tailgating 2) you have to sit in a car in the cold and not have anywhere to pee 3) can't drink because you have to drive home 4) ecc lot is owned by the county which is run by the zar Cuomo 5) they had 6 days to prepare What have other posters said Living room heated Bathroom heated Liquor 😋 Food delivered to your door What else could you want There might be a reason they are worth 4 billion and the op is not Edited January 16, 2021 by scuba guy 1 1
Albany,n.y. Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Back in 1988 when I 1st moved to Albany and I hadn't yet heard of satellite bars I used to drive halfway to 2/3 to Utica and watch the game in my car on a small black & white TV for games that weren't on in Albany. I did this for a total of 3 games. The 1st 2 were 1 PM games so I parked in a rest stop on Rt 20. The 3rd game was in Seattle & was a 4 PM game played mostly after it got dark in NYS. I went to a well lit Thruway rest stop 66 miles from where I lived & watched the game there. The best part was I was able to go in & get dinner there. The next year I found out I could go to bars & watch the games not on home TV. By then I was going to most of the home games anyway. Overall, the experience of sitting in my car & watching a game, even if it could be in a parking lot with big screens, especially in winter, is something I never want to do again. 1

Go Bills. Are any other teams in the playoffs doing this? The answer is NO.

My question was in regards to your question. Are the Chiefs setting up screens in the Parking Lots so fans can watch the games? I have not heard anything about that!
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Inflatable screens with 15-30mph winds. What could go wrong? How pissed would everyone be when they have to listen to the entire second half on radio because the screen is blown halfway to Rochester? 2

Go Bills. He can’t NO ONE is allowed in the parking lot due to social distancing. That would totally defeat the purpose.
Buffalo716 Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 30-50 bucks to sit in your car and watch the game? Lmaoooooo

Matt_In_NH Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 It is totally ridiculous indeed. I mean when will the Pegulas learn to read and implement every idea in the ops head?
