    Let's say you have a 60 passenger bus, they will charge you $100 for a parking pass and no tailgating.  That's $6 a head to park.  If you want to tailgate it becomes $15 a head.  So you're really only paying an additional $9.  How much value do you expect for $9???  Even if I'm interpreting that incorrectly and they are charging an additional $15 per person to tailgate, fine, what precisely do you expect for $15?  You know what most of that $15 will go toward?  Additional security for the tailgating area.  Every bit of that security is warranted based on repeated past behavior by drunken morons.

     

    I have no sympathy whatsoever for the idiots in the bus lot, they brought this on themselves.  Everyone else that tailgates?  Consider this a shot fired across your collective bows.  There are plenty of places that restrict tailgating activity to specific parking lots. 

    It’s not about what is included, it’s about not being able to bring your own food to cook and own drinks. That’s where it is a cash grab. Cooking, for me, has always been a critical feature of the tailgating experience.

     

    The rules were already being enforced at the lots. Your statement is too general. People will go to the private lots. This is all money.

     

    edit: if you can bring your own food and drink it’s not bad, but still can’t do the cooking I’m sure.

    a place to park you fat ass and nothing else and tailgate.

     

    not that having a fat as is wrong .....  just saying 

    LOL

     

    Drunken fools will be drunken fools ...  Win, Lose or Draw 

    I mean, once you are in this village. How many drink and food vouchers does that come with. I assume you aren’t letting grills in there.

     

    This would be a serious deterrent to taking a bus.

    Aimed at curbing large groups of fans traveling to the game via buses or limos, the Bills announced a policy that will require the large vehicles to purchase a tailgating package for its occupants and those traveling by bus or limo are no longer allowed to tailgate at their vehicle. Instead, the Bills will charge these fans to tailgate in an area designated as the “Tailgate Village.”

     

    The cost for a 20-person vehicle is $300, then $600 for a 40-passenger vehicle and $900 for a 60-person vehicle. That’s $15 per passenger, and is paid in advance of a parking pass being issued. Vehicles that do not want to tailgate will have to pay $100 for a parking pass still, but are not required to purchase a tailgate package.

     

    “We want to provide a safe and fun experience in the Bus and Limo Lot,” said Bills Vice President of Operations and Guest Experience, Andy Major.

     

    I’d be interested to see what is included with that fee. I’m sure it’s a bad deal.

  4. I understand it’s their business to police their lots, but the damage is all done with how quickly one single video can circulate online. People will find other places to go who are set on this. Yes, you’ll curb some drunkenness, but I’ve been a season ticket holder for 12 years and honestly think it has been improving over time.

     

    My issue is with this lame tailgating village, which will basically be a cash grab. Why would anyone want to take a bus anymore?

    See I think Bronn actually dies trying to kill either of them. I don’t see a point in keeping him alive. I kind of think it ends up being Tyrion.

     

    If you introduce a secret crossbow it’s definitely going to be used. He’d have to miss for one of them to survive and Bronn is usually synonymous with not missing.

    But he can only reanimate the ones who got killed by the WW, right? You can't reanimate a former WW killed by dragonglass or special steel...I'm thinking with those constraints he'd have a hard time increasing his numbers in perpetuity

    Yes, but up until this point there wasn’t wide use of dragonglass. Everything he accumulated north of the wall was mostly intact.

    Does anyone know how the whitewalker army got so large? It seems like you can't reanimate a 'dead' whitewalker, and there can't have been all that many people living up above the Wall...plus it seemed like someone w/ Valeryian steel or dragonglass could take out a good 5-10 of em before getting killed...how tf did they get so many people in that army?

    The NK could keep reanimating the dead, as we saw even last night. The majority of the dead army was wildlings/men of the watch.

     

    We don’t know the amount, but the actual WWs to my understanding are mostly Crastors sons that were given to the NK. It didn’t seem that there were many of these. They rarely joined the fighting.

  8. Every Bran theory has likely been incorrect. Still time left though. I like a lot of those points.

     

    I’ve argued for several years that Jon is already dead. There was clear justification in the books that, like Beric , he was reanimated to play out his part. That has always led me to the thought that, like Beric, he would be dead at the end of the story. 

     

     

     

  9. I agree that it’s inconsistent, but there is always less called in the playoffs in all sports. I thought some of the non calls were bad, but they were pretty consistent within the game.

     

    I’m glad Harden didn’t get the call on the final sequence. He sat down mid air to kick his legs into Green. Crying afterwards is a bad look for Houston.

  10. I thought the NK vs the three eyed raven (life v death) would ultimately be the climax of the series. I don’t love the resolution of this storyline because Bran just seems so pointless.

     

    I thought he’d have a bigger role to play. His arc seems complete now.

     

    I think I’m back around to Dany surviving and ultimately taking the throne.

    Ok, so according to Vladimir Furdik he kinda let slip that the battle of Winterfell is going to last nearly the entire 3rd episode. Almost a full hour he said. Took something like 55 days/nights to film. Wondering what the back and forth will be, besides obvious deaths of important characters. 

    During the opening song/animation they showed the flaming trench around Winterfell. They also mentioned it briefly if I remember. I imagine they’ll retreat past that and light it up at some point.

     

    Unfortunatly an ice dragon could probably make short work of it or fly right over. Wonder if that’s how the NK will descend on Bran.

     

     

  12. So I’ve actually been surprised how many people expect the night king to be defeated at Winterfell. 

     

    I can definitely see the argument, but I can’t imagine that the conclusion of “Ice and Fire” boils down to overcoming Cersei for the throne. I suppose we are already strictly in conclusion at this point. I still expect Jon to defeat the NK.

    Another point I just realized: some of those characters who die will end up fighting for the Night King.  In other words, Brienne might not just die, but might be reanimated.  Tormund vs. Brienne-wight, anyone?

     

    Plus...all the women and children, and Tyrion are safe.  Under the castle.  In the crypt.  Great place to be safe from a Night King that reanimates the dead, hmm?

    I’m sure this will happen, I only hope they don’t overplay it.

     

    I don’t think Tyrion actually winds up in the crypt. I’m sure he’ll find a way to be in the thick of it.

    I took notice of his appearance.  :thumbsup:

    • episode 1 (April 14): 54 minutes
    • episode 2 (April 21): 58 minutes
    • episode 3 (April 28): 1 hour, 22 minutes
    • episode 4 (May 5): 1 hour, 18 minutes
    • episode 5 (May 12): 1 hour, 20 minutes
    • episode 6 (May 19): 1 hour, 20 minutes

    OK  I just checked ...  Maybe the NK gets through to Ep 4 

     

    I think he gets to King’s landing on Visereon. I could see them ultimately making a stand at Winterfell (still not convinced though), but I just imagined the NK would make it south.

  15. The only get away options are the two dragons, so I can imagine Jon and Dany surviving this battle before getting South. Also, could see Yara somehow rescuing a few characters.

     

    Apart from that, how does anyone get through this, especially those in the crypts? 

     

    I thought it it was a solid send off last night for a lot of characters. Does anyone in that room of Jaime, Tyrion, Brienne, Tormund, Davos, and Pod survive? Doubt it they way they spoke of surviving so many battles.
