Nextmanup Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Abbott Rd. closing at 11:30am to traffic so that the stadium snow removal work can continue.... About half of all available lot parking is filled with snow, according to this WGRZ update from this morning. Still lots of snow to be removed as of this AM. Gonna be tough to get there and park! 3 Quote
BigBadBills Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Why wouldn’t they activate Fournette for this game? 1 Quote

As I understand it the deal is $20 per hour, bring your own shovel, free food provided as well as a place to warm up with heat if/when you need it. No tickets. Quote

No tickets. They should definitely do tickets or some sort of cool team/stadium experience. I have confidence that the Bills will hookup the shovelers. $20 an hour seems like an insult. 1 Quote
davefan66 Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Looking on Ticketmaster, still a ton of seats for sale. These are the ones people bothered to list. Probably many more available. Wonder what it looks like at game time. 1 Quote

Steelers are going to want to try and out physical the Bills during the play and do some shoving after. And the Bills don't put up with that these days. Any and all rough stuff, fighting, fisticuffs, and straight up brawling is not only preferred, it is encouraged! Just don't get anyone important thrown out of the game; that would be my sole directive to the team. Otherwise, do not take a back step and show these punks who's their boss. 1 Quote

A day at work, food with the family then settle down to watch the Buffalo F******g Bills lay the smackdown on Pittsburgh. Enjoy the game, Bills fans. Wherever you are. You had me worried. I rechecked the game time. Then I saw your screen name. Lol. Enjoy from across the pond. Edited January 15 by longtimebillsfan 1 1 Quote

I thought maybe 3,000 empty seats due to weather/events. Now, it might be 10,000 or more. 1 1 Quote

People will most likely gravitate to empty seats if theirs are snow packed. 1 Quote

I have confidence that the Bills will hookup the shovelers. $20 an hour seems like an insult. No, I think it's just pretty much going to be the insult. LOL But in fairness, the whole experience of going over there when the place is empty, probably deal with some odd office that you would never be inside, and so on, is kind of the "cool stadium experience" if you know what I mean. I guess you have to be 18 years old, which is a shame. This is the perfect gig for kids. I would have been all over this if I could have gotten out to the stadium somehow when I was 13, 14, 15, 16....the money is good at that age and it's a fun, cool experience. I can imagine filling the place with about 10,000 kids...and the PR value of that would be great. "WNY youth bail out community with selfless hard work and showing the world the WNY way" and what not. Just have to avoid slipping into the "Pegula is running a sweat shop with child labor" angle.

About half of all lot parking space is taken with snow...so that's going to be a huge issue. They should be running city metro buses to the stadium from a huge parking area that people can get to and isn't under 3 feet of snow, if such a place exists. Like if you can get to Amherst UB campus, park there, and a bus will go every 10 minutes to the stadium or something...no parking needed, at least at the stadium. If snow is EVERYWHERE around WNY, that won't work obviously. 2 1 Quote
