Why so many tickets left?

[HOUSE]

There are fans that love watching you on TV in a blizzard, they love that home advantage but they have no interest in attending the game

 

That is cheating....lol

Great question! The people staying home because it's cold ... there must be five or six thousand of them, since that's about how many are available on the secondary market.

 

So, hell, that would be plenty to cover the costs. Each of them tosses in somewhere between a hundred thousand and five hundred thousand simoleons, and boom!!

Will there still be a bunch of inebriated biys with their shirts off?

Lets drop some viagra into Highmark and see if we can raise a roof in time for the game

Well seeing as I am a Canadian I still face goofy hurdles 2 years into this mess that restrict my right to travel freely.

 

So I guess its its the leather recliner and 55" HD TV........I will be there in spirit  

If you can afford a leather recliner, you shouldn’t be watching a 55’ tv my man!!  It’s 2022x you can get an 80 inch tv for $700!!

I don't know why anyone would consider building a new stadium and not put a roof on it.

[stevestojan]

There stadium might be 70% capacity solely because the human body isn’t built for 5 hours of tailgating and 4 hours of game in sub-zero temps. Too many people will start tailgating early and drop off. The late start hurts as much as anything.

Bills - Jets Dec 1993 -20 WC, attendance 71K. People will go tomorrow

Yes, Chad, Logan, and Hunter will be there.

One thing to consider is its only a matter of time before the NFL has a 20 game schedule

 

I remember when there was 12

No sane person enjoys standing around in zero degree weather for 4 plus hours.  Watching the Bills makes it more bearable for most but still.

 

“Sanity” is not to be found in the lexicon of Western New York warriors who seek gridiron immortality. An alleged defender of Snow Sparta who expects the glory and the sundry spoils of war, yet who is also unwilling to shed one’s own figurative blood (or frozen extremities, in this literal instance)?? Like…seriously, brah?! The Pro Football Gods of Buffalo have no use for such football freeloaders. This subtly hijacked pro-dome thread is an affront to their very EXISTENCE.

 

Pray tell, BillsFanInSB: are you a spiritual soldier of the winter? When the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo divinely whisper their commands to you as you await your lithium prescription renewal, do you not listen? Understand that I myself am but a simple warrior princess of the Queen City, a deeply traumatized child of The Drought Era, a scholar of Buffalo Bills history, and an acolyte of the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo. I am incapable of much discernment beyond the fact that I love my Bills and that my hatred of all things New England Patriots flows naturally through my bloodied veins like a beau fleuve into a great lake. For the life and death of me, I cannot perceive a situation where I would dare question attending the first full-house home playoff game in 25 years within the palatial confines of Highmark Stadium, no matter the temperature or wind speed or precipitation, IF in fact this is what the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo decree.

 

Oh, and decree they do! While the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo do not normally request much from the caretakers of their homeland, they do politely ask that the 1963 AFL Divisional playoff game and the 46-77-1 lifetime record against the Patriots (and 4-34 from 2001-2019, mind you…mostly due to their cheating) be avenged.

 

No no…scratch that…they DEMAND approximately 3 to 4 hours tomorrow night of unadulterated, unapologetic, poetically cathartic, and borderline erotic violence inflicted onto the invaders from the Eastern Lands who annoyingly pronounce “er” and “ar” with “ah.”

 

So drop the pie-in-the-sky dome drivel and go purchase a playoff ticket. Help the team win! Be loud and start talkin’ proud, talkin’ proud. Kick up your heels! Throw back your hands! Shout! Get dangerously drunk in the parking lot. Jump through a folding table. Smuggle a giant Billdo projectile past security. Physically assault a Patriots fan innocently seated nearby. Push back any concerns of extremity necrosis to the following afternoon. Break off your blackened toe and hurl it onto the field if the otherwise well-intentioned security folks managed to abscond your smuggled Billdo. In other words, BE A REAL FAN OF BUFFALO BILLS FOOTBALL because this ain’t no mother@*king jaunt to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and this sure as sh!t ain’t no sojourn in a Wegmans grocery store.

 

Oh…what’s that you say? You are now among the more seasoned Bills Mafia warriors with greater priorities beyond watching pro football in situ?? Ha! Sports and career, work and play, family and bachelorhood/cat lady status, life and death…artificial distinctions to the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo. False constructs from mortals who can only hopelessly endeavor to attain ethereal gridiron omniscience. Is a folding table not a structure over which to studiously peruse Buffalo Bills history books, as much as it can also be a landing spot for a fiery drunken dive at a tailgating lot? Is a King Kong-sized vibrating marital aid device not a dependable bookend for said Buffalo Bills history books, as much as it can also be a sophomorically hilarious projectile aimed at Coach Belichick’s stupid head tomorrow night?

 

FACTS: There can be no more honorable ending for a veteran Bills Mafia warrior than to freeze to death at a Bills game, with you and yours locked together in icy harmony. “Thank you so much for your football fan service,” might declare the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo, “but this brisk night of January 15, 2022 is appropriate time for your brisk retirement to eternity.” Hallmark Stadium: the idyllically frigid wintry Logan’s Run Carousel of Western NY. For the greater good of Snow Sparta! Praise be to the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo! Woohoo!!!

 

Sooooo…..um….yeah. Buy or buy not. The Pro Football Gods of Buffalo impatiently await your final decision on tomorrow’s playoff tickets. They do not need the particulars of your excuses. They do not care about your stance on vaccination policies. They do not seek a signed medical note explaining why you’re too physically disgraceful/old to be out in cold weather.

 

But do remember that Buffalo pro football immortality is on the line! You shall have plenty of time later to stay warm during the cremation process that your dear family members have planned for your corporeal remnants. And yes, I am bathing in a tub filled with ice cubes as I condescendingly type this. Such is the proper way for a true soldato of Bills Mafia to purify one’s body and mentally prepare for the treacherous NFL playoff road ahead. Go Bills!!! Is it Saturday night yet??!!

I’m not sure what this thread’s about. Why couldn’t a person enjoy going to games in the early part of the season when the weather is nice, sitting outside, and having a great time…and therefore ALSO not wanting to sit inside on those nice fall days? Who says you have to go to every game or enjoy freezing your butt off?

The fans want a dome.

 

The PEGULAS don't want to pay for it. But instead of owning it, the Pegulas like to say that the "city and fans don't want it". 

 

That's what's really going on.
