I went back to the office and told the managers that the guy pulled a knife on me. He followed me back to the office and said he did nothing. The managers kicked him out after he dropped the knife on the floor. 

Wow! How scary! I'm glad the guy didn't stab you.

Was there some confrontation, or was he straight up looking to rob you or what?  Seems like a crazy place to pull that

He wanted me to bring him his check to the seats, and I told him he needed to go to the office.

Will they pay for my flight from Atlanta?  Just froze my butt off at the crazy GA/GA Tech game.  Why not freeze again in Buffalo.  

I was there last night too.

 

It was COLD !!

For those who think $20/hour isn’t enough, don’t do it. It’s just that simple. If they don’t get enough people, they will have to offer something more enticing. That’s how free markets work.

 

Also, I don’t think money is the only reason people participate in this. 

 

EDIT: $20/hour is over $40k/year. That’s not nothing.

It’s not that great these days, especially when you get 1099’ed. Maybe give a bonus for the ones who don’t pull out their phones to check social media every 3 minutes.

Then increase the pay.

$20  an hour with food .. while potentially hanging out with your friends, family and other bills fans inside Ralph Wilson stadium is an experience by itself 

 

For the 3rd ime it's not about the money.. and it's not for people with careers 

 

Some people get dropped off from other suburbs and some Bus in from the city.. but the majority are residents who live a mile from the stadium

 

You get your two brothers and sisters.. and a couple of friends, and you go five deep to Ralph Wilson stadium... Shovel for a few hours with friends and family making memories ... Easy peasy for an 18 year old

 

Then when you're 50 you could talk about how I shoveled out Ralph Wilson stadium with my father and it's a memory

Don't worry, in the new stadium we'll be paying them $20 an hour for the privilege of being there.

Wow - seems like a bit of an overreaction

Was at the -20 degree wind chill game.  Three layers of clothes, chemical hand warners, and newspaper (what's that?) on the seat and concrete for insulation.

 

Another game we wore tyvek suits (brother worked at CECOS in NF then). Bad idea. Was warm but they keep the sweat inside. We were drenched  by the 4th quarter.

 

A few years ago, went to the Jets sunday night last game of the regular season. Was  5 degrees by end of game. Never again. Had trouble walking to Hammers lot from the scoreboard end of the stadium. Legs were so cold, didn't want to work. Never again. September or October games for me.

I don’t Remember the jets playing here on a Sunday night

Worst of all the lake band has been delayed moving north by several hours now pushing the snow into game time as well most likely and lessening the time the shovelers will have time to clear as the heaviest snow is expected overnight tonight

It was a long time ago...I could have went to that game because a family friend was offering their tickets since they didn't want to brave the cold and I was like "nah, I'm good..."

 

It was in the drought years, wasn't about to sit thru that for a garbage team.

[Wacka]

It was maybe 3 years ago. Could have been a monday night. I think it was the week before we creamed NE in the playoffs

I don't think they/we were looking to shovel in any case. I just think offering just $20 is a cheap look for a premier organization. Like let's stick if to the fan as much as we can get away with.

 

Heck, they should actually offer a free future meet and greet with some players, a tour of the stadium, or watching of practice. Now that would attract people.

 

A meet and greet and tour of the stadium, some autographed practice footballs or whatever besides the pay etc...would be awesome! 

 

 

[beebe]

did anyone actually get paid last time?

[Buffalo716]

Its snowing in a lot of parts of Buffalo area rn

Lots of snow is even more fun. Some of those heavy snow games were really fun at the time.

 

And if you don't think the shoveling for $20 per hour is worth it, then don't do it. Others will, though.

Lmao

Do you even get a 1099 for under $600?

We played the Jets the final week at home in 2021, but at 4:25 PM.

[Wacka]

Well, I remember it was dark and 5 degrees when we were heading home.
