stevestojan Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Too many fans will dampen the sound of giant fists smashing the benches. 3
LABILLBACKER Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 They should allow 15,000 and put some in the 300. Come on Cuomo, giter done. 3
Doc Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Drew threw a dart at a board filled with numbers and it landed on 6700. 1 2 1

NickelCity Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) This thread can only go well. (But it does seem reasonable to have fans in the currently unused upper deck) Edited January 17, 2021 by NickelCity

Just saying I think they certainly could do that relatively safely. I don’t think they will though.
billsfan89 Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I don't see why they couldn't put at least 3-4 thousand more fans in the nose bleeds.
peterpan Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I'll risk Covid to go to the game. Worth it!!! 1
DQW87 Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I believe Green Bay has been just like us and just started letting approx 7K per game in the playoffs and are planning to double that for the NFC Championship.
Boatdrinks Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 No reason why they can’t have 15k. Baseless and arbitrary, as expected. Sucks for us fans that have been waiting half a lifetime to attend a home Bills playoff game again.
Freddie's Dead Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 There's only one way to get more fans in the stands, but I don't want any more warning points. 2

Yep. It would be awesome for football if football fans were able to watch football, just to make sure we're talking about football here. Edited January 17, 2021 by Ralonzo 1

The NYS government has decided you are not competent to make your own choice here. I think you should have the right to choose, but, my view doesn't matter. And, I think the stadiuim limit number is arbitrary...using the uppers would allow lots more fans in. I think 10000 in the lower and 6000 in the uppers would be fine if they spread out. But, the state will talk about restroom facilities and other such things as the reason they will keep the number low. If you want to change that mentality at the state, you will have to vote to support your view. But, upstate, we have little chance imho. 1 1

I will not get into any of the ridiculous viewpoint garbage as that is totally inappropriate, but I will say as you add more fans - you also have to add more support personnel across the stadium. You would need more gates open to flow people in, more spaced out parking and more times to enter, more security to ensure people are safe, more vendors and cleaning staff, more bathrooms would need to be opened and that does not get to the increased testing that would need to happen and space out those. The change in logistics is significantly more especially as you add upper decks. Then you also have to ensure people don’t find ways to sneak down from upper decks like they always do. I mean 6700 fans in week 1 and we had fights already - I think they have done a great job of balancing the fans with the staffing and infrastructure to ensure as much safety as possible. If you upped it to 16000 fans you would have to quadruple the support staff - so you go from like 6700 fans and probably a total of 10,000 people in the stadium and lots to probable 16,000 fans and probably closer to 25,000 people total in and around the stadium. 1

They were packing them in as close together as they could. I would have rather park at @Hammered a Lot and walk over if it was allowed.

Not to mention more Covid test would have to be done.
