Hopefully it is better once they reconfigure the upper lot so there is a second exit but until then Lakeview definitely requires a strategy for parking. I haven't tried the VIP parking yet but I have some friends who do that each time. We usually park in the lower lot and take the shuttle up. Sometimes you have to wait a bit to get the shuttle after the show but driving out from down there is very easy. I heard that for this summer the lower lots won't be open for shows that are drawing smaller crowds so I will probably try the VIP parking in those cases. Canalside became a thing after I moved out of the Buffalo area so I don't have a lot of recent info for you. The few times I went down there though the parking didn't seem to be an issue at all seeing there is a ton around that area for the Sabres games and getting out of downtown usually isn't that hard as there are a couple paths you can take to get back to 90. (190 or 33). Hopefully someone who has frequented canalside more often can give you some more detailed advice.

Tool is definitely an experience. I've seen them a few times but not in a while. Hopefully they tour the new album a bunch next year and I can catch them somewhere. So far what is planned for me this summer: Steely Dan / Doobie Brothers Weezer / Pixies Black Label Society / Corrosion of Conformity Slayer / Lamb of God / Anthrax / Testament / Napalm Death Live / Counting Crows (two separate free shows at NYS fair on the same day) Luke Bryan Ozzy / Stone Sour From this thread sounds like there will be a few of you at the same Lakeview versions of some of these shows. Great venue for any Buffalo people who haven't made the drive to Syracuse for it yet. Is that the Beth Hart show with Kenny Wayne Sheppard? That is going to be a great show.

A picture is a good idea. I have been doing that with as well mobile airline ticketing to avoid any app problems at the last second. Mead & Jack, let us know how the request for paper tickets works out for you guys.

I believe the cards are still in place. This only applies to transferring any of your season tickets and I assume individual game tickets going forward as well. Before if you wanted to give a ticket to a friend you could print them from your account, or lend them your card which I'm sure most people wouldn't really want to do. Now you can still lend them your card and if not then you have to transfer them from your account electronically to an email address that will be associated with an account on the OneBuffalo app which they would use to get into the game. Basically no more paper tickets at all. Sorry for the confusion.

Has anyone tried transferring any of their individual season tickets to the OneBuffalo app yet? I split a ticket with my aunt so she uses the cards and I usually just print the tickets out from the account for my games but now that the Bills have gone full mobile I wanted to get a jump on trying out the app before the first preseason game. I downloaded it last night and the app for me is borderline unusable which fits with all of the negative reviews in the app store. I had to reinstall several times before I could even get it to bring me the log in screen. It also requires a lot of access to your phone to use which seems pretty odd to me.... why would a ticketing app require access to my photos and recording devices? I noticed that the OneBuffalo app also asks to link to your ticketmaster account so my hope is that when I finally attempt the transfer that the tickets will end up in my ticketmaster account as well so I could just use that app which actually functions like you'd expect. In any case I wanted to reach out to the community for their experiences before I actually try the transfer to hopefully avoid any pitfalls anyone else has experienced so far.

1. Sam Darnold - Browns 2. Josh Rosen - Bills 3. Josh Allen - Broncos 4. Baker Mayfield - Jets 5. Lamar Jackson - Dolphins Bonus: Bills Pick - Rosen

I always thought the story was that TD wanted to trade up ahead of Pittsburgh to get Ben and was working with Jacksonville but when their pick came up the Jags decided not to budge because they were really high on some WR... Then as a consequence TD kind of panicked and traded back into round one for JP to check that QB box.

Living in CNY I haven't had a chance to use either except a couple times visiting people out of town so I've never even used their apps. In anticipation of NYS finally catching up with the rest of the world I was looking to download the Uber app to my phone but hesitated when I saw how horrible the reviews were. Most people were complaining that Uber had recently changed its app so that you can't turn off location tracking where as it used to be you could set it to only track location when actually using the app. Evidently that is how Lyft does it. I will be curious to see if Lyft has as many drivers around the Syracuse and Buffalo area as Uber does because it seems like there has been nothing but negativity surrounding Uber for a while now and I would prefer to only use Lyft as well if possible.

You have any advice? Something along the lines of "because I'm the man and you're the woman and I make the decisions regarding my life." doesn't work. Tried it once after it seemed to work so well for Matt Guitar Murphy on Aretha Franklin in the Blues Brothers but it didn't work out the same way for me, and not just because my wife didn't break out in song either.

Picked up this Honda last year after surveying some people like you are: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Honda-21-in-3-in-1-Variable-Speed-Gas-Self-Propelled-Mower-with-Auto-Choke-HRR216K9VKA/203709643 Doesn't have the push button but my wife hasn't had any problems starting it, though to be fair she hasn't mowed much. Also like everyone else has mentioned Honda seems to be the way to go for mowers according to most.

Media Play. Books/Movies/Music/Video Games.... Was the perfect one stop shop for everything I am into. Used to spend hours browsing around the one on Transit with my friends as a teenager.

Having both preseason games on a week night versus a weekend afternoon is likely making it more difficult for them to market a traditional preseason kids day. I know a lot of people who always hit that game early just to give their kids a place to run around and burn energy.

I had one bad experience there too. Had to wait an insanely long time for food which was exasperated by having a 2 year old and a 5 year old with us. However someone made note of our wait because shortly after our food came out the manager/owner came over with a few free desserts for us to make up for the wait. It definitely was a frustrating night but it was nice that they made an effort to try and make it right.

Couldn't agree more. I live right around the corner from the Liverpool location. We go there all the time and it is usually the spot we bring out of town guests.

That's it. They've come a long way if they actually have a FB page now.

I've started to hear buzz from my Buffalo friends about a place in South Buffalo called Nine-Eleven Tavern that supposedly has some of the best wings in Buffalo these days. Tried to go there a couple weeks ago but it was closed. I guess they keep weird hours. In any case it seemed like your basic corner bar which in my experience is usually the spot you can find really solid wings. Favorite place for wings when I was still local was a place just called the Pub in Depew on Broadway. Not sure if they still operate, or how good it still is, but for a good amount of years that was the go-to for delicious and cheap wings.

Thanks for the edit tip Boyst. My wife caught Garth last month in Albany and raved about it. I'm not a huge country fan but I plan to catch him the next time I have a chance. I have much love/respect for the Beatles but for some reason a Paul McCartney concert doesn't feel like a "must-attend" for me.

Turns out that it is Paul McCartney. For me Garth actually would have been a little better. I was looking to change the topic title but I don't appear to have those user privileges.

For any CNY or WNY members who haven't heard and might be interested. http://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/04/syracuse_carrier_dome_major_event.html Anyone have any thoughts or possibly inside information on who/what this could be? A lot of the rumors floating around are suggesting it will be Paul McCartney Edit: Turns out it is Paul McCartney

Are you living in the Syracuse area? I'm suspicious that you and I might be married to the same woman. My house is top to bottom with that stuff. It is pretty expensive but luckily she got most of at their big yearly barn sale or as wedding gifts.

Best has to be Metallica/GnR at Rich Stadium in 92. Got the ticket as a high school graduation gift. It wasn't just the performances that made it great but also the atmosphere and the craziness that went on in the stadium that night. Anyone who was there has to remember the crazy garbage war between the upper and lower decks and the tons of bare breasts on the big screen as the crew for GnR zoomed in on random girls in the crowd before their set. I can't think of a worst I actually paid for but I worked at the Darien Lake concerts for a summer and some performances stand out as awful from that experience. Tops is probably Brittney Spears. First off when I moved up close to check her out for a couple songs she was obviously lip syncing but what made it even worse was the thousands of little girl high pitched screams that almost made my ears bleed and never seemed to end.

Is it a pick'em or are the Jets getting points from whomever you laid the bet with? If the Bills are getting points in your bet then there is always the possibility the Jets win the game but you still lose 100 when they don't cover. That's a lose/lose by my calculations.

Four would be fine if they didn't stick it to the season ticket holders by charging so much for the two home preseason games. It is pretty discouraging to have something you paid 80$ for being sold for 10-15$ the minute after you buy it.

Willie Parker was the back-up running back who played the majority of that game too IIRC. He ran all over the Bills that day and no doubt brought a lot more game than our D was expecting. Not that it is an excuse but it makes that pain a little less excruciating to know he turned out to be a legit NFL RB instead of some no name practice squad guy no one ever heard from again. As for the topic I can't come up with one that hasn't been mentioned as most of those came across my mind when considering. Just going on pure anger the two that stick out are the JP Lossman bootleg fumble against the Jets to lose it late and the McKelvin fumble against the Pats* on MNF. Two Time Warner remotes paid a high price those days.
