I have season tickets and once the Bills are eliminated, realistically, there is little to no reason to eat a whole Sunday with crap. I eat the tickets. Weather plays a small part in the decision, but if its a meaningful game, Id go in a blizzard.
The Houston comeback game is such a laughable comparison with present day. They had 1 week to sell tickets, no internet, injuries and against a team that smoked them, larger capacity, no regionalization into Rochester or Southern Ontario yet.
it wasnt the weather.
A dome may be necessary though to justify the funding and effort, unfortunately, as pointed out. I think they are going to have to imagine uses beyond the 10-12 NFL games a year.
