My hunch is game will not get moved from Monday to Tuesday (although wouldn't be shocked if it gets moved) but that the stadium and parking lots will be nowhere close to typical game-ready condition. Field itself will be fine but everything else will be partially ready.  Just don't think they'll have enough time (looks to me like lake effect bands will be an issue on and off through tomorrow morning).

Plus the Bills have built themselves some pretty nice facilities in OP. If it was Downtown or at UB, they would have to build all new facilities or start from scratch. 

 

That's why the 49ers stadium is in Santa Clara. That's where their team facilities were, and they would bus the team from Santa Clara to San Francisco and Candlestick for games. No need for that anymore. 

Yep, typical short sighted sh*t. The site studies were a sham as they never really wanted to build it anywhere other than the existing location since they had spent money on the Adpro training facility. 
 

I was fine with open air and if downtown wasnt in the cards so be it but for Gods sake, should’ve moved it from the snow belt. Niagara county would’ve been fine. I grew up in Lockport and we rarely got hit with the major lake effect stuff like they do in OP.

That probably would have driven the price up to over $2B

How is this possible with the weather? Did the governor overreact? This is why the league hates us. 

Yeah, don’t ya hate when people overreact?

I understand the need for safety. But if the ability to get to the game and home safely was the true driver, why are the Sabres playing a home game right now? Is it because the weather is much "milder" near the arena compared to OP?

I’m not sure how it will be any better tomorrow.  Game should have been moved to Atlanta…half measures…

Yea but nobody cares about that. Including the people playing. I hope they can count the spectators on fingers and toes tomorrow.

Lake effect snows are funny things.  I havent really kept track of the weather as I dont really go anywhere anyhow.  I am not sure either.  Hopefully it is.

Seems as if the game will be able to be played pending this field-hardness thing.  Not sure how many fans would be there however.  The roads should be passable, but parking and snow inside the stadium are questionable.

A dome would have, but same exact stadium in a northern suburb instead of the snow belt?  Why would it be an extra 500 mil??

Regardless of whether it’s snowing at 4:30 tomorrow, snow is still piling up and it’s not going to melt by tomorrow afternoon.  It was idiotic not to just move the game.
