They played the game at a later date. So that excuse is gone. So now, why not just play the game at Highmark at the same time the games were rescheduled in Detroit??! THE STADIUM WOULDN'T BE READY, that's why. No dome. Expand UMMM Detroit is not Buffalo. You do realize how localized winter storm effects are, right? Niagara Falls had a couple of inches of snow while Orchard Park had several feet. Same day, same storm. 45 minutes away. Quote

Expand That sort of clause should be in all contracts so each player making more than 5% of cap should invest in seats which they can resell at will or allow family, friends and sponsors to sit in them.

There has been talk of closing it for decades, but nothing ever happens. Cleveland would need to repurpose that land and build a land bridge over parts of the shore way to make development of the lakefront work. That’s always seemed like too heavy a lift for the city.
