I didn't feel the need to make an entire thread about it, and didn't see it listed here. But, when is the select-a-seat for the Bills? I thought it was around the draft, but couldn't remember. Anyone?

Previous years it's been in May, usually the during one of the first full team practice sessions, so fans can see the team on the field with the rookies while "selecting a seat".

Can someone post a link to the NFL schedule? Because I can't find it and if I have to wade through all that NFL crap I'll go nuts. I went to the Bills site and they just have the teams not the dates, the only dates are pre-season and I could not care less about those....

 

tks!
