And YOU were one of the lucky ones! I know people who took a couple DAYS to get home! People who slept in hotel lobbies because they were out of rooms and nowhere to go! 

 

I live in Atlanta as well and was here. Heard GADOT bought an extra plow so we're ready for the next "snowstorm" ...

There wasn't an ambulance chasing personal injury lawyer on the back of every phone book and on every billboard back then.  The liability of inviting 70K people to your venue during a blizzard would be an invitation to get sued into oblivion when things inevitably go sideways for some of those people.

 

 

 

I wish I could disagree with you. I really do. This would be a recipe for disaster in so many ways. Something bad would happen, and it would be open season on the team and the league for putting a game ahead of people’s lives. Even if those people were willing adults who made their own decisions. Go figure. 🤷‍♂️

So we get 7 home games in a 17 game schedule... 😞

[ExiledInIllinois]

Last time in 2014 they just let people in for free.

 

We had early tix purchased via StubHub! and got a full refund.

 

This will be basically easier for Browns fans to get there... So hope Bills Mafia gets the word out to the Buffalo Diaspora to get there! This ain't the 2014 Bills-Jets! We need to show!

 

I am 4 hours away... We are just gonna wing it and show.  See what tix situation is there in real time.

They did prep the roads the next time it snowed, and the results were much better. But holy hell, that was embarrassing!

We had 9 last year. Regressed to mean.

I used to laugh about this, but they don’t have the equipment to clear the roads so 3” here is more dangerous than 8” in WNY.

I live in fla, al for 20 years. was in west texas back in '78 and they had a dusting that shut the town down. I'm quite familiar with southerners and their inability to handle snow. 2" driving through detroit should be no problem for RwC, hence the reason I said he'd be aight.

I think Brown's actually had a chance in buffalo with those conditions. Works out for Bill's favor

Yeah... But we have to get more fans there!

3 weeks on the road. Just what the Bills needed to break their current slump. /sarc

 

At least they have 3 weeks to clean up the roads, lots and Highmark in preparation for the home Jets game.

They won't - home Sunday night / back Wednesday. Some of the players may have family in town all week for Turkey Day.

Don't see that! Makes no sense practically,  plus this could be a really good thing. Get rid of all distractions, focus on the team and the games. Almost like a mini training camp. Could be a turning point for this team IF...they win both.

[Big Turk]

Beane states they are leaving Saturday coming back and flying back Weds.

Imagine they will try and leave from NF...or maybe Rochester.

 

Surprised a little they wouldn't stay out there

Did you see what two inches of snow did to Atlanta 8 years ago?  It took me 4 hours to get home and I lived 15 minutes away.  

My friend is a cop and told me there was something like 2,000 cars in accidents.  I witness 8 on my walk home.  I pulled over into a grocery store and walked the rest of the 3 miles home.  

 

You had no plows or salt and are surrounded by southerners.

Things will be significantly better up this way.

4 feet, is over my limit. I personally was concerned about getting my SUV and six people stranded behind dozens of cars 25F, on a side road all night. The game itself was never a concern. Dome would be a safe place to shelter-in-place, however what a party that could be.
LOL

Detroit being only 2.5 hrs from Cleveland and the fact that nobody will be able to get out of Buffalo on Saturday may make this a defacto home game for the Browns. 

 

I’ll be there from PGH with my 10 year old son. He can be as loud as 100000 Cleavelanders!

Will they have to show their papers for that? 😉

 

No but they might have to pay some Canadian income tax.

Chubb will get his, but you think this guy is single-handedly going to beat the Bills? Yes, we lost to the 8-1 Vikings. Yes, it sucks. No, we are not losing to the 3-6 Browns and freakin Jacoby Brissett. Stop being a drama queen. It’s one thing if this game was being played in a blizzard, but it’s not. 

Sorry. I flew to Jacksonville last year. I’m scarred. And scared.

How do we get tix to the game?
