  1. I’d go with the longer leg, which I’d figure is Bass by a good margin. Watching warm ups Sunday, praters range was much less than the saints.
  2. Damn, if ravens make the playoffs and bills het one seed, might have ravens first game. Some reward.
  3. Roger Goodell’s grandkids insisted.
  4. Sometimes deleting and reinstalling the app helps
  5. Sounds like they are fishing for more names for the upper bowl. I guess it’s not selling as well as they hoped. I think lower bowl sold well. Lots of obstructed views in the 400s unfortunately. i tried to post that update for discussion in the big new stadium facebook group. But they are a rah rah group and only interested in cheerleading. The admin won’t approve any legit discussion. in fact, I scooped the admin on early pricing and posted it as an FYI with images and she deleted my post as she didn’t like my comments and said she’d wait for others to confirm my info. These boards are better - you can legit discuss.
  6. What did you think of going for the field goal with under 30 seconds left and a 7 point lead. It worked out but I would have either run the ball to gain a couple more yards or punted to push them back. My fear was the risk of missing the kick was too high and giving them a short field to go for the win (with a quick score and 2 pointer). I thought our D could tie them up for 25 seconds if they were deep and no time outs left.
  7. We attend nearly all. Might have to miss my first in 3 years this year (Eagles unfortunately). 2.5 hour drive to the game for us which isn’t bad. Wondering how many people attend some vs all?
  8. It’s available on the MLSE store in Canada, and less than the bills store in the U.S.!
  9. Might also be to promote the raptors - so mutually beneficial I guess. Im from Toronto, have seasons at the current and new stadium and go to every game. It’s an easy commute. i also have raptors seasons and rarely bump into anyone from Buffalo. So maybe that is part of it and will come to light later. And MLSE is owned by the same company that owns the Blue Jays. So some opportunities there as well.
  10. Maybe that’s it. Sell merch and tickets and drive up ticket demand.
  11. I can’t figure out why this is good for either team other than having a new channel to sell merchandise in Toronto.
  12. Tre should go on the wall of fame, but sadly I think his playing days are done. I hope he proves me wrong,
  13. 3rd row above the dugout on the 50, I’m prepared to get cold/wet depending on the day. Also prepared to go broke…
  14. There will always be secondary. We got 4 very good field clubs. We weren’t looking for 4, but the rep said we had to take 4 if we wanted the seats. Most games we have 2 or 3 people (currently have 3 seats), so I know we’ll be selling the seats we don’t use and I’m sure others will to. When my family grows, I’ll be using all 4 personally more often.
  15. Neat video, but still lots to get done. Hopefully they pull it off in time.
  16. That’s pretty much it. Some of the postgame news conference will be held there as well. The seats are over a dugout - it’s elevated so people can enter and exit below. As a result the first row is row 6, and we’d be row 8. The sales rep said row 1 is higher at the new stadium to comply with nfl rules and offer better sightlines and he estimated our row 8 would be like row 13 at the current, so we should be able to see fine other than the cameras that roll back and forth. There is a small viewing patio on the field that they give us access to as well, but I don’t think it’ll be worth standing in during a game - that will be too low to see over the players. But it could be fun for kids during warm ups or post game I guess.
  17. We bought field clubs, 3 rows up right at mid field. The price stings but we can’t take the $$ to the grave so wtf. I’m guessing in around 15 years we’ll be selling - based on location if any seats in the section hold their value, these should.
  18. I have a really good contact in china, but for NFL I do find the color always slightly off.
  19. I counted the gambling ads within the broadcast (so excluding commercials) of an nhl playoff game. So this would be board advertising, promos, etc - and there were 6 or 7 different companies. It’s really ridiculous. I do believe the ads glamorize gambling and are fueling addiction.
  20. I do like that glass roof for the titans. I guess that wouldn’t work in Buffalo with all the snow. But it would be the best of both worlds. Natural light and feel, but protected from the elements. I’m older now and don’t enjoy the cold weather games as much as the earlier season games. I still attend, but I don’t like the cold.
  21. I don’t think it’ll change much for me. I’m boring - I sit my ass down, maybe run for a bathroom break at the half, and just watch the game. The sightline shouldn’t be much different. For my wife however, I think it will make a difference. She avoids the colder games for the most part and complains about the cold when she does come - so having the warm area to shuffle off to will probably result in her coming to more games which is a good thing. I also don’t like the field club game day pricing for the new seats. We are lucky that it’s in our budget, but it’s going to make it harder to invite friends.
  22. We bought the field clubs. Pretty excited. That said, I would’ve preferred either a dome or a renovation to the current stadium. I think the current stadium has great sight lines all over and with they could have preserved it. Yea, the concourse is crowded but I spend the game in my seats. This new stadium is a hybrid between a dome and the current - not sure why they didn’t go all in on a refurb or dome.
  23. I wonder what this is all about. It’s reported that the Bills reduce available PSLs by 3,725 to accommodate NFL holds and sponsorships. This seems exceedingly high, Let’s say each player can get 4 seats and they keep another 500 for the team admin and NFL requests - that’s still under 1,000 seats. I wonder if the team is just holding a bunch back so they can have an allotment (besides the standing room) to sell and manage on their own. Realistically they don’t need almost 4,000 for team and nfl requests. I also wonder where these holdbacks are. If they are for team and nfl and sponsor requests, I’d imagine they are good seats.
  24. What a pain in the ass. Trying to plan a couple fall things into our schedule and it would be nice to have this schedule some time in April. Bunch of goofs. And a 3 hour reveal? They are drinking their own koolaid. Waste of time.
  25. I prefer lower bowl mid field, home side, 15 rows up. Great game view in my opinion.
