Gordio Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Can I play too? Ok it's mostly white with a blue trim going around the outside. There appears to be several watermarks across the left edge. There are also a bunch of numbers and dashes. It has a perforated top edge. I have no idea how any of this qualifies me as either a loser or not though. 874214[/snapback] You should really sign up for direct deposit.
Lori Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 If you're in Buffalo and you're a Bills' fan but you're not going to the game, shame on you. C'mon, e. Normally I'd agree, but I can't blame people for giving this one a pass. I'm interested to see how many of the ~43k season ticket seats are actually used. 874246[/snapback] True, dat. If anything, I hope there are a bunch of no-shows all around the league to show the NFL the folly of running a full schedule on a holiday. (And yes, according to my union contract, Christmas Eve IS officially a holiday...) But then again, if most of the stadiums continue to sell out via corporate-owned season tickets, they probably won't even care...
Gordio Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Is this not one of the most fitting statements you've ever read? LOSER! Looser, used in a sentence for the brainiac. My clothes are fitting looser since I've lost weight. Get it? Moron. 874175[/snapback] Thanks for the grammar lesson dipsh*t
Mr Info Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 1. Experience at the stadium has declined- I am not talking about the team on the field, but the fans in general. I'm sorry, but there are quite a few Bills fans now I cannot tolerate. And nor would I ever bring any kids to the games. Obnixious, drunk, fights etc. It's sad. How to fix it? Build a new stadium. With a better facility, I believe you will weed out some of the animals that go to the stadium on Sundays. Prices will have to go up, but in a league where the CBA is catered to bigger market teams, you have to pony up the $ to keep the team in Buffalo. No way around that. 874242[/snapback] You need to get seats somewhere else. I have season tix and bring my wife and/or son(s) (ages 10 & 12) to the game and things are fine where I sit. Every once and a while someone drops an f-bomb but overall, no complaints.
Buford T. Justice Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 If you're in Buffalo and you're a Bills' fan but you're not going to the game, shame on you. 874244[/snapback] Yeah, shame on me. Shame on me for thinking family is more important then a bunch of grown men playing a game. I now see my life is all wrong. Thank you.
Sketch Soland Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Yeah, shame on me. Shame on me for thinking family is more important then a bunch of grown men playing a game. I now see my life is all wrong. Thank you. 874331[/snapback] Everyone on both sides of this issue needs to stop being so defensive and "holier than thou". I'm sure every true blue Bills fan would love to be at this game if they could and I'm sure if you choose not to go to the game because you have plans with your family on Christmas Eve that that doesn't make you a f*cktard loser bandwagon fan or somehow more of a "superior family man" than the Bills fans who do go to the game kthnx.
taterhill Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 18,000 tickets left??? Cheapest tickets in the NFL, team is 7-7 with a slim wildcard hope...18,000? What has happened to the fan base in WNY? It is hard to say. I think the biggest reason this is happening: 1. Experience at the stadium has declined- I am not talking about the team on the field, but the fans in general. I'm sorry, but there are quite a few Bills fans now I cannot tolerate. And nor would I ever bring any kids to the games. Obnixious, drunk, fights etc. It's sad. How to fix it? Build a new stadium.

No way around that. 874242[/snapback] It is xmas Eve...the only reason...if this game was Dec 28 it would be a sellout
5 Wide Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 You should really sign up for direct deposit. 874316[/snapback] Oh i've got it, it's all automated. I just get a nice piece of paper that says THIS IS NOT A CHECK every other week. PS you seem kinda hostile. Remember, Santa's watching. He's not big on hostility.
Lori Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 It is xmas Eve...the only reason...if this game was Dec 28 it would be a sellout 874341[/snapback] Agreed. If not a sellout, at least comparable to the SD and JAX games.
Buford T. Justice Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 or somehow more of a "superior family man" than the Bills fans who do go to the game kthnx. 874338[/snapback] Yeah, cause that's what I was getting at.
theesir Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Agreed. If not a sellout, at least comparable to the SD and JAX games. 874347[/snapback] I think that if this game was on the 23rd it would be sold out (or close to it). Lori (or is it Lauri) I think the "corporate sold out" thing could cause many owners not to care, but I have to guess that the money made on concessions... or in this case lost on concessions due to 1/2 to 2/3 empty stadiums has to hurt. This doesn't even take in to consideration parking revenue. (Which I believe the county gets a cut of). I too am stunned that the owners didn't look at the dramatically low attendance numbers in past years (not just in Buffalo, but across the league) when games were held on Christmas Eve and decide to move these games to Saturday. There may be a lot of sell outs this weekend but I think again there will be many half full stadiums.
Sketch Soland Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Yeah, cause that's what I was getting at. 874356[/snapback] that's cool, i'll take your word for it. my point still stands generally however. We all should be more concerned with riduculing and disparaging the born out of wedlock, genetically inferior, untouchable caste, flaming thumbtack worshipping bandwagon Titans fans than infighting amongst ourselves, amirite?

Sketch Soland Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I'm buying my wife and amirite ring for Christmas. 874366[/snapback] where are you buying your wife from? And who is Amirite Ring? A servant?
Alaska Darin Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Hell, I'm wife-barred from even watching the game on TV as her family does their holiday sh-- on Eve. I hate Christmas. 871773[/snapback] She pick out your panties in the morning too?
theesir Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 where are you buying your wife from? And who is Amirite Ring? A servant? 874372[/snapback]
Sketch Soland Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 874377[/snapback] LOL, yes, you're right, the whole "amirite" joke was a real winner. I should not have tussled with your verbal prowess
Cornerville Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 taterhill has a good point about Christmas Eve being a factor...but in the early 90's did the Bills ever play big games very close to Christmas Eve or even on Christmas Eve and have this many tickets unsold?

(What stats I could find, that is...)
