Having I90 and the border closed on Saturday will add about 3 hours to our drive on Saturday to skirt around the storm (coming from northern NY) If you do skirt around... Don't make the mistake and do it too early and come up I79. You may get into some teeth of Lake Effect coming off The Lake. Go further west before getting north to I80/90...

I rerouted my flight to Cleveland this morning thnking Detroit was a possibility, since my brother lives there and he was going to meet me in Buffalo anyway. Working out well.

I had tix on StubHub! for the Orchard Park game...They refunded me. We are going to wait and just drive there. It can't be a sell out... If it is, and can't get some cheapo seat... Will watch it somewhere... If I recall... 2014 was general admission anyway. Not sure how they are gonna run this... But we will wing it. That's correct. $25 GA I believe. Wasn't even half full, though I expect more Browns fans to make the trip than Jets fans did back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaMilBill Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) I got my tickets on SeatGeek. No refund yet or any mention of any plan. What a crappy platform to buy from. Literally all their competitors have provided full refunds meanwhile these jabronis told me via chat that they are still working on a plan. You mean you didn’t have any contingencies for a storm that was forecasted 4 days prior, or for hurricanes, catastrophes, etc. give me a break. hopefully they do the right thing and refund. But I shouldn’t have to wait this long for them to do the right thing. Don’t use SeatGeek Edited November 18, 2022 by VaMilBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only a only a couple extra hours drive to Detroit from Hamilton, so the trip ain’t totally wasted. Really sucks I’ll be missing out the wings. my thoughts exactly. Driving from PGH is only 1.5-2 hours longer, missing Duffs is the HUGE disappointment. I plan to be back in Buffalo for the AFCCG!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a shorter, safer ride! The stadium for the last two home games has housed denser swaths of (NFC) opponent jerseys than I can remember seeing outside of Pittsburg games during the drought. Audible cheers and chants from opposing fans...in Orchard Park. Disappointing, but then again understandable, disloyalty by season ticket holders...reselling for matchups with fanbases who travel. Good business, bad fandom. Edited November 18, 2022 by Richard Noggin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they're asking their lawyers if they can legally get away with keeping your money and instead issuing credits for a future purchase from them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, Royale with Cheese said: What do you guys think the response will be? I'm driving up from Atlanta and curious to see the turnout. From a fan perspective, this certainly favors the Browns. Detroit is not that far from Cleveland. And fans who otherwise were not even thinking about going to Buffalo, will have a nice opportunity to go see their team. For most of the people west of Cleveland, it is a 2 hour or less drive (Cleveland to Detroit is 2.5 hours). If I was a Brownie fan, I would certainly consider it. As for Bills fans from WNY, for most, with the weather and distance, it is not even an option. This move clearly benefits the Browns fan base--they will far outnumber the Bills fans on Sunday. 5 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Love that architecture.

What I’m hoping for is you have a lot of Browns fans not interested since they are 3-6 and it’s right before Thanksgiving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
