Honestly. Isn't it time for the playing field (pun intended) to be the same league wide and for all stadiums be domed?

Some of you are aware of my Mom passing away in March due to complications from the coronavirus disease. She was a HUGE Bills fan and supporter. I have to tell a story of what occurred during Monday night's Bills/Titans game. This honestly did take place. Some of you know how much of a Bills fan my Mom was. She loved "Her Bills". She had Bills memorabilia all throughout her home, she made various crafts with Bills themes, loved watching the games on TV and loved talking to me and my little sister on the phone during the games. Also, I was very close to my Mom. We live across the street from her and she was a big part of our daily lives. I was the only boy with 6 sisters so we had that "Mother/Son closeness". Earlier in the day my wife put up a few Bills momentos that Mom kept on her porch year around in support of her Bills. One is a Large cardboard cutout of a Bills helmet and the other a four foot tall wooden sled with Bills Country on it and a wooden Bills Buffalo. We were sitting on our couch watching the game on pins and needles of course. With a little over 3 minutes left in the game, the Titans kicked the ball off to Bills returner Isaiah Mckenzie. As soon as Isaiah caught the ball and started to run, we heard a crash behind us. We both jumped up and saw Moms Helmet & Sled had crashed to the ground as McKenzie was running for a 102 yard Kickoff return Touchdown! I know this was Mom sending us a message that she was there with us and rooting on her Bills, I KNOW IT! Of course a penalty negated the touchdown but MOM was there, letting us know that she still loved her Bills. I know in my heart Mom was there, sending us a message that although not physically with us, she was with us in spirit. I had posted this very picture before the game.

Great post. My Mom passed away this past March from Covid at the age of 86 3/4 ( as she loved to say to people when asked her age ). Mom was a huge Bills fan. She was also a crafter and made many amazing Bills themed crafts, including Macramé chairs. I miss our calls before, during and after each Bills game but I know she's looking down and rooting as hard as ever for " Her team".

Highmark Stadium now requiring vaccination for entry
Returntoglory replied to StHustle's topic in The Stadium Wall
Am I the only one finding it a bit hypocritical that those who enter the stadium have to be vaccinated to protect not only the other fans, employees, etc. BUT also the players? These same players who(albeit a handful) refuse to get vaccinated themselves? They have a choice in the matter. We as fans do not. 🙄 -
This will be the first time in my 60 years on earth that the Bills will be playing a regular season game and I will not have my Mom to cheer them on with. Mom passed away in March due to complications from COVID. To say she was a Bills fan would be a huge understatement. She loved "Her" Buffalo Bills, and she showed it daily whether it was football season or not. I will most miss the constant phone calls during the game whenever the Bills scored, made a great play, made a bonehead play, got screwed by the refs , anything. The games now will not be the same for me. But I know this. My Mom is up in heaven leading the Buffalo Bills cheering section along with all the Bills fans surrounding her. This one's for you Mom ❤️ GO BILLS!

Public vs Private Financing for All NFL Teams
Returntoglory replied to Irv's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wonder what the financial incentives would be for Pegula to finance the entire stadium? Would he get 100% of the concessions and other monies or would he still have to split with the other owners and NFL? One would think that he would reap many of the benefits INCLUDING major concerts and other events at the new digs. Thoughts? -

Carl Nassib Announces He is Gay

WTF are you talking about? My question is clear and obviously you're making jest. Would it not be like showering with the opposite sex? -
Carl Nassib Announces He is Gay
Returntoglory replied to aristocrat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Serious question. Seeing that he is attracted to Men, how will his teammates take to showering with him and being around him is in the locker room? Is this a legit concern? -
Where abouts in the city does she work and what profession if you don't mind me asking? I lived on the UWS from 2004-2012.
