Parking for tomorrow’s game ???

[Rocbillsfan1]

I normally park in someone’s yard on Big Tree. With the storm I imagine almost all of the parking around the stadium will be closed. Are the Bills going to have their entire parking lot plowed enough to fit all of the cars?

Polencarz was encouraging people to carpool because likely people who have parking in their yards won't have them cleared.

They should be able to find somewhere to park their sleds.

Are all the local pizza joints shut down or has hoarding become that bad?

No and good luck.  Satellites lots are probably going to be closed.

If I owned one of those lots, I’d try to clear it if people were coming. I hope I wouldn’t price gouge, but I guess we’ll never know.  🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately a lot of pizza joints in Buffalo and the suburbs are actually closed Mondays

 

Lot of family-owned businesses need one day off

 

Most will all probably be open Tuesday and I don't know if any opened today

And even those yards that are cleared, it's likely to be a mudpit. Wouldn't attempt it without 4wd. Temporarily parked a truck in my yard two days ago and the ground is so muddy that I cant get it to move.

I can tell you that due to the stadium being built across the street, the stadium lots filled up much quicker than usual this season. I would advise arriving by 10:00am if you want to guarantee a stadium spot. 

Alternatively, purchase a "preferred" parking lot pass online before you leave tomorrow. That lot never fills up. Such a waste.

Edit: forgot the game is at 4:30 - not 1pm. Instead of 10am, I would say arrive by 1pm or 1:30pm.

Yeah it may look emptier than usual tomorrow. Lots of tickets available. 

[Big Turk]

Good luck is all I will say. OP has at least 27-28 inches of snow so far. Not including drifts.

My mother was a mudder.  My father was a mudder.  I hope I am a mudder.

[BuffBills51]

I had a family friend give me a pass to lot 2. Never parked there. How early should I get to the stadium to guarantee a spot in the preferred parking?

To cold for mud.

Tell that to my front yard.

 

Joking aside, the reason freezing temperatures don’t negate mud is because soil is a fairly good insulator. So while the top crust (cm’s) is frozen, below it, the water is still in liquid form, creating mud. It would take several days (if not a week) of consistent freezing temperatures for the ground temp to become cold enough to negate mud.

The folks that do come to the game and usually park in yards will all be trying for spots in the regular lots so it will be important to arrive early.

This.  Be really early.  Even if you have to Sit in the car for a bit. It’s going to be a mess.
