Reed83HOF Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 A couple years ago, Mrs. Rock was thinking of coming to the TBD opener with me and Babyrock. The she started talking about "why were we going up Saturday, and why were we sleeping in a tent on the ground, and were there any malls around there..." I interrupted her at that point and just said, "Nevermind, you are not going." She does come to games on other days and we pick up freebies and get into contests for free t-shirts on Abbott Rd, and she checks out the store (I give her HER ticket when she goes in the store in case she zombies out), and we have fun doing other stuff - but NOT at the TBD opener! 849743[/snapback] This was definately a lesson learned...If I turned her loose in the store alone, I would be broke...because she wanted every goddam thing in there...seeing she was pissed that her 'pink' jersey was sold out, she said that she would order most of the stuff she wants online , so going forward I hope that this is no longer an issue... We are planning to go to the Phins game on the 17th..Just have to buy tix...this time no excuses for not making it to see everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 not sure but i remember a couple years ago, the syracuse market(not sure if utica is part of the Syracuse TV Market) was affected because of a miniscule part of Yates County(Penn Yan area) was a part of the black out circle...I thought they fixed that issue though 849701[/snapback] No, they haven't done anything about this issue. WTVH-5 in Syracuse, which I think is also the only CBS for Utica, gets blacked-out still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 From TBD front page - Niagara Gazette: "The Bills certainly didn’t play in a vacuum. The Colts, Bears, Cardinals and Raiders couldn’t fit 63,680 fans in their respective stadiums. The Ralph rocked like a full house Sunday, especially in the game’s deciding moments. Terrence McGee said he could barely tell the crowd was smaller than usual." Keep in mind ALL of these markets are much larger than Buffalo. 849402[/snapback] I would bet that there were just as many Bills fans at this game as any of the sold out ones so far. I did not see many Jags fans in the stands and the stadium has not been louder since the Miami snow game when we all sang let it snow at the end!

DieHardFan Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Traffic was somewhat worse due to people actually staying until the end of the game but most of the slowdown was Tgiving travel. Should be alot of fun after the titans game. I got to the stadium at 1030....the lots were empty....in fact the drive from utica down exit 55 and down Mile Strip...there was no one!!! 849599[/snapback] Try getting off at the Transit road exit (last one before the toll gates) and going down rt 20, much faster. See your other post for info on the Utica blackout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpile Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Current plans are to be at the Miami game too. I am looking for two tickets (eBay surfing). Lot One Pole Five is the watering hole! BTW: GF uses HER OWN card. Man Rule? This was definately a lesson learned...If I turned her loose in the store alone, I would be broke...because she wanted every goddam thing in there...seeing she was pissed that her 'pink' jersey was sold out, she said that she would order most of the stuff she wants online , so going forward I hope that this is no longer an issue...

Lot One Pole Five is the watering hole! BTW: GF uses HER OWN card. Man Rule? 856375[/snapback] Thats how I got my tickets (Jax, Miami, and Tenn) Great deals on them, you just ave to do a bit of surfing and not be picky where you sit. I wanted to get tickets for yesterdays game too but the damn credit card won't work anymore, I keep getting some message about credit limit exceeded?
