For starters, I didn't suggest it should be done overnight. But given that something as simple as signing a well known player helped push season ticket sales to their 3rd highest ever total, I would think the fans could eat 5-10% a year without so much as a whimper. I think too much credit is given to Brandon for his supposed marketing skills. You could announce a new Bills bumper sticker and half the county will show up at the field house. The bottom line is this market supports the team quite well when you compare the financials of other teams relative to the Bills. Will it continue if the team keeps sucking? Maybe not. But right now the healthy combination of fandom and fear are keeping the franchise well into the black.

The OP puts to much weight into the notion that this market either cannot or will not support increased ticket prices. Raising the average ticket cost by $15 would increase the per game revenue significantly, while still keeping the price point within a range that could be supported in this market. Plus, factor in the debt load as referenced by other posters, and you have a formula for a profitable team. Hell - they are in the top 10 in terms of profitability right now aren't they?

This is too funny, because something got into my wife's head this morning that has her terrified over a possible EMP attack and she suggested that we live 'off the grid' as a preventative measure. Keep in mind this was the same person who threw a tantrum earlier in the week when she couldn't watch The Vampire Diaries.

But a lawyer said so!!!!!!

Aren't most of us using Windows?

New coach and QB.

LOL - couldn't convince the singer to do the harmonies with me. Glad you enjoyed it though. We had a great time - that is until we went into the game...

I took my 70 year old mom to the game today. She saw a fan with a throwback Bills helmet on and remarked "Can he play?". That my friends, is how far we've fallen.

John, nice to meet you. 'Peter Lemonjello'

2 of 17. And we lost. How is that not laughable?

She looks like George's cousin from the 'Seinfeld's Van' episode.

I can't. My level of interest is certainly waning, but I'm still not going to miss a single game, sucker that I am.

'Take a Chance on Me' or 'Fernando'?

Maybe if we all wear garlic around our necks to the stadium on Sunday...

If the Bills thought they were one lineman away from having a contender, I don't think money would be an issue. But like all of us, they are probably fully aware that for this season the team is going nowhere. Bringing in anyone for a significant amount of money would simply be a waste.

And yet here you are...

You: "To be fair, a lot of long time Bills fans have already made it clear here that they would rather have a POS team than no team at all. I disagree with them" Me: "Your position is illogical, from an economic sense, and from the standpoint of someone who isn't even a Bills fan. In fact the only people who should reasonably support that notion are those whose quality of life is adversely impacted by the games (traffic, noise, etc.)." Your position was that it is better to have no team than a crappy one. What part about my response was unclear?

Your position is illogical, from an economic sense, and from the standpoint of someone who isn't even a Bills fan. In fact the only people who should reasonably support that notion are those whose quality of life is adversely impacted by the games (traffic, noise, etc.). But hey, if you want, continue to troll the 'roll call' threads even though you have no intention of going...

We are supposed to start around 10:00 or 10:30.

Everyone should swing by the 'Worlds Biggest Tailgate' party by the RV lot (across from the stadium on Abbott). My band 'Big Balls' is playing there. Best AC/DC rip-off band in WNY.

He could also be shamed into resigning. Costs Ralph nada.

Hoffman's in Syracuse makes the best white hots (coneys)!

During the broadcast, they once called the Bills the "Buffalo Bears" and at another time NO the 'New England Saints". I'm not even making that up. They were effin horrible.

Always been a Howard Simon fan.
