  1. Saw our last home game Saturday at the Ralph - after 10 years as a season ticket holder in the club seats (sad)! And 50 years of going with my Dad to games and sitting in his season seats. Never thought we would give them up - but this whole smoking ban really made us mad. Guys from the Press Box are allowed to walk 5 feet outside the gate, smoke their cigarette, and then come right back into the stadium. You or me -NO. I am a considerate smoker (would only smoke away from non-smokers), but this is ridiculous. There is enough smoke in the parking lot every Sunday to cloud the air when the wind is still. When we bought our seasons, we had heated seats, minimal hassle getting into the game, and staff that made you feel appreciated. All of that is gone.

     

    Did some research, and found that only 3 of the 31 stadiums have rules similar to the Ralph. The other 90% of the stadiums either have smoking areas or allow fans to go to their cars and then re-enter the stadium. Washington even has a cigar bar in their stadium.

     

    I am not defending a bad habit - but the overuse of alcohol is an equally bad habit. This is okay since the organization makes money on this one!

     

    I am surprised that the Bills did this to further reduce their season ticket base - but it is their business to run. Looking forward to road trips next season to see our Bills - and ENJOY the experience.

     

    I wonder if they ran out of cheese in your whine section.

    The injuries have allowed a lot of second-stringers to get valuable playing time. Depth will be better next year because of it.

     

     

     

    If a player is bad, he's bad. More playing time is not going to help Spencer Johnson become a better OLB or Mario Haggan become a better WR. They're just bad. Sheppard and Williams could use more playing time. But they're expected to be starters for this franchise. The depth will still be bad.

  3. I went the last time the Bills were in town in 05. The stadium was half Bills fans and we were able to get 6 tickets all next to each other at the box office. It was blacked out that day as well. The stadium is a **** hole, but the tailgating experience puts that of the Ralph's to shame.

  4. ...make a tuna sandwich, let it sit on the countertop for three days, wrap it in brown paper, attach the rest of my season tickets for the last 3 games, and send it to Ralph with a note "Ralph, Here's your tickets back. Feel free to scalp them to the guys that stand on 20A. Enjoy the sandwich while tailgating. I'll buy my season tix when we get a real defensive coordinator."

     

    I seriously doubt you're going to do any of that.
