That's kind of out there in left field if you ask me, man.

 

Wrong sport.  Football has no left field.

There isn’t going to be a penalty

 

Snowballs have been thrown at bills games for 50 years… Especially when they don’t remove the snow

 

They don’t want snowballs remove snow from the aisles

How well I know. I was at the game in 1975 when Chuck Forman got hit in the eye and they took him out of the game. Even as a 16 year old kid, I didn’t think it was cool.  Just because dumb stuff has been done for 50 years doesn’t make it ok to continue.

I thought I saw them shoveling the aisles

But, they didn't clear the seats.

 

Fans got to clear their own seat, they get to figure out how.

Again I’ve never once in this thread said it’s cool to throw snowballs at players

 

the Internet age and The positivity of bills mafia has skewed a lot of what the Buffalo fan base is 

 

Generations of rowdy , Passionate, Drunk, And loud fan… That doesn’t get bred out quickly or easily

I meant seats not aisles

I agree.

 

On the other hand, I also don't think it's OK to have one team baking its brains and risking heat stroke without shade on the sidelines while the opponent is 30 degrees cooler. 

 

So if a team thinks the one is unsportsmanlike, while the other is "business as usual" I'm like...."Oh well"

Publicizing this was not a wise decision, no upside for the Bills,

 

This is likely going to be brought up at a future Owners meeting.  Refs should be able to call a penalty so it doesn't end up like a Cleveland/Cinci fiasco years ago.  Players/refs/innocent bystanders can get hurt.

 

Individuals throwing snowballs can be asked to leave, if deemed it’s unsafe activity .

 

The team cannot be penalized which was what the refs threatened. 
 

Because who’s to say who threw the snowball: a fins fan or Bills fan?

The latter is not even a question 

 

that infuriates me knowing how many football players die from heat stroke over the last 20 years 

 

and they casually turn it into an advantage

I was always told two wrongs don't make a right.

SO... Basically the Refs took a page out of my parenting 101 page book?

 

I sniffed that out right away...

The rule which no longer exists… states 

 

The home team… When the opposing team has the ball… Cannot artificially inflate crowd noise… Cannot put messages on the Jumbotron to make

You are so wrong, I don’t know where to start. Crowd itself was a penalty for 1989 and rescinded. Artificial noise is still a valid penalty.

There is a reason eskimos have so many words for snow. It comes in many different flavors. The snow that won’t pack is harmless. Then there is the other end of the spectrum, and that stuff can do serious damage!  

whether players, other sideline personnel or just fans towards the field- lots of potential to go south for totally innocent folks on the receiving end 

 

 

[ExiledInIllinois]

 

Oh... The seats weren't shoveled out.  People were just making more room! The snow ends up there anyway when shoveled... Pushed to floor of stadium.

This guy right here is just asking for more games to be moved if snow can’t be cleared in time

 

instead, id prefer fans just simmer down

1989 Was the only year real crowd noise could be a penalty if I recall.. They amended it instantly after didn’t they?

 

100 years of football and one year of the rule… Which got modified to what I said and you didn’t quote… Stuff like messages on the Jumbotron to pump up the crowd and speakers on field and artificial noise and such… but even parts of that was again dropped and modified in like 07

Two games have been moved in 60 years because weather 

 

And the fans have been throwing snowballs for 60 years

It’s embarrassing is what it is. A lot of unintelligent fans we have unfortunately.

From anyone who was at the game, was the problem that snowballs were being thrown onto the field in general, or at the Dolphins bench?

Yes

[Buffalo ill]

Throwing snowballs at the field/players is a very childish move.

 

A billdo being thrown at Tom Brady was a silly one time shenanigans type of thing.
