Senior season ticket members (maybe 25+ years) should be getting some love without having to ask. Some ideas: automatic VIP status at training camp, a higher rebate in Bills Bucks.

I said this many many times at the Fan Advisory Board. It's not just what people are spending now, but what they've done over years of fandom that should be rewarded. Seniority should be for more than playoff ticket lottery.

My Whitner jersey now says ‘ROSEN’ on the back

Being known for something sure helps (I think I have kinda earned it tho...)

At the time I liked our draft class of 2000... https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/buffalo-bills/draft/2000 ?

I know there hasn't been much chatter about it, but yeah, the Two Bills Drive Annual Home Opener Tailgate is on! As usual we'll be at the front of Hammer's Lot starting way early. I'm sure @Hammered a Lot will be posting some parking sign ups in the semi-near future. It's always pretty low-key - bring what you want, share what you want. We always have more food than people. So plan to come out and meet the people behind the avatars! Always a fantastic time.

My sister nominated me for Season Ticket Member of the Month/Game and I won for the month of July! I'll be upgraded to club seats for a game, get some Bills swag, and have a story about my awesomeness on BuffaloBills.com. WOOT! So have somebody nominate you! https://buffalobills.formstack.com/forms/season_ticket_member_nominations

I was there!

Dude you gotta give a fresh listen to some post-MP Rush. Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows were very good (albeit different from what came before). Some of it I agree is way below par (Hold Your Fire, Presto, Roll The Bones was the worst of it) but once they rediscovered the fact that they were a power trio things started looking up again. They worked on it for pieces of Counterparts and Test For Echo (B side of each was filler). Remastered version of Vapor Trails and Snakes and Arrows are both quite good.

Lots of new hotel construction across the street on Transit - the older ones just can't keep up with the new fast-build suite hotels.

Winning...

The combination of musical talent and songwriting is why Rush is the greatest rock band ever. Geddy Lee #1 bassist. Neil Peart #1 drummer. Alex Lifeson probably top 10 but underrated.

The White Album (especially disc 2) creeps me out because I associate it with Charles Manson. I was 7 when all that happened. Some years later, I had just bought Physical Graffiti and listened to it non-stop while reading Helter Skelter (the Vincent Bugliosi book about Manson). Same reaction now.

Ah - I thought about it from the angle of buying all of those other jerseys. I pretty much gave up on buying current players. I got my throwback Whitner changed to my last name, and I just got a Phillips nameplate to replace the Dareus on my #99 but that's probably gonna be it. I figure a Fred jersey will never be wrong (much like a KW #95). Speaking of KW #95 - how long til they retire that bad boy?

Fixed

Was bummed Poz left the way he did. I do have Stevie & Spiller jerseys, bought off clearance at Dick's when they switched from Reebok to Nike.

Looks like a real Nike Limited jersey (not Chinese knock-off) - ad said worn once. $41 delivered. Will probably be more of an 'every day' jersey rather than game day.

They used to call those 'boners' until that word took on another meaning

I discussed this with them 3 years ago when the stadium renovation eliminated water fountains. They said they had to do away with the plumbing for them, and that they were often used for things other than drinking water. They've made water available at all guest services locations. But re-installing fountains was not something they were prepared to do (at least not back then).

Ah the Pinto tailgate at 2:55...

They do not line the whole team up against a fence any more. I'm interested to see how autographs work this year. They only have 11 open practices at SJF and 5 of those are ticketed. They in the past have had 2 players per session sign in a tent after practice, but to get a guaranteed spot you basically have to get in line early and miss the practice. They don't sign for very long. And they only sign for kids. Signing at the edges of the fields after practice is hit or miss - some players do, some don't. You never know who will be on a certain day, and where they will be so that you can get to them before they move on. The best place that I've seen is in the walkway between the 2 stadiums, but it is reserved for VIP attendees. Looks like this: (PS - I think the guy in the red Bills shirt with the shades is Matt, AussieW's son) I for one am glad I'm not big on autographs...

Only 11 practices at SJF, and tickets are required for 5 of those. The practice at NEF was fun last year except for the thunder storm that delayed it. Not sure what's up with "theme days".

Back when I was on the FAB they were talking about getting people into the stadium earlier. We suggested running some kind of tailgate inside the gates with beer, food, music, activities, alumni. They need some kind of draw to get people to leave the lots and get in there.
