  1. Did they ever explain why 5pm? I’m happy we get to play, but they should at least share why.
  2. Move Titans to Monday/Tuesday, chiefs to Saturday or Sunday, and pull a different game into the Thursday slot. To complete the year will take flexibility and it won’t always be fair.
  3. I hope it doesn’t happen, I like our stadium and I like where it is - but there were rumors of a pending consultants report and forthcoming plan to stay or go. I wonder how the current year might impact the long term plan and if any fan update might be coming soon.
  4. With a few teams allowing fans, it brings the risk of virus transmission back to the visiting teams market if your unlucky enough to catch it while traveling.
  5. Thank you, I was due to renew this week. Got $1.25 Canadian per month for a year.
  6. I’m leaving on account. I’m Canadian and pat exchange fees on both purchases and returns. I’m 5% poorer if I refund (2.5% fee each way).
  7. It may be less headache to ban all fans. I’m kinda screwed anyways cuz I’m in Canada, but we have 5 season tickets. Depending on how they allocate games if they have 50% attendance for example, people will complain about which games they got and how many seats they got, and where they were seated. It won’t be fun to handle that in the administrative team. I gotta say though that they are a class act - i called my account manager maybe 2 months back and asked what they would do with Canadian seat holders and I was told at that time that they would allow me to skip the year without penalty. That made me comfortable continuing my payments.
  8. The risk of being caught is low, they’ve admitted as much. They are doing limited spot checks. The fines are insane. Here’s what an article on the topic posted today: The rules are punishable by a fine of up to $750,000 or a month in jail, and the government will be conducting spot checks to ensure compliance
  9. I have seasons and live in Toronto. If we return from any country, the government requires we quarantine for 14 days. Makes it hard to justify going to a bills game - especially with a family that relies on me to be out and about. Today the government extended this rule from mid July to August 31st. There’s speculation that the rule may get extended to the spring. This makes it even less likely Canadians will be at games this year, what a downer. I floated this possibility on the forums a few months back, and the consensus seemed to be I was over reacting. Unfortunately I may have been correct. Hopefully we can get to games this year, even if it’s just the back half of the season.
  10. My athletics renewal was due next month. With the lack of sports I hit cancel. In return I was given a free bonus 3 months.
  11. Crossing the border is definitely a concern. Maybe the border will be open and you’ll need a 14 day quarantine upon return. I don’t know about you, but my wife would have my head under those conditions. That said, I’d buy the cheapest seats they have just to be on board, and if you want better seats upgrade in the season seat holder upgrade window the following year. Given the economy, unfortunately I’d suspect there will be good upgrade opportunities next spring as they will probably have a higher number than normal of members not renewing. If the games are played to fans in the stadium, it’s quite unlikely the stadium will be sold to capacity, so you can probably decline your seats on a per game basis - or if you are assigned a couple games by the bills, I’d suspect the tickets made available will be in high demand anyways - so that minimizes the financial risk if you can’t attend.
  12. Darn. Looks like the border may be an issue. Ah well, hoping we at least have a season to watch. I think even that remains a question for now. Here’s a quote from prime minister Trudeau today. “Travel restrictions are going to remain extremely important in terms of containing the spread of COVID-19 in Canada and we're going to continue to work with the Americans and people around the world, to ensure that we continue with these restrictions,” Trudeau said.
  13. I know - I’m just getting old. I bring a young teen with me and it’s a little much for her to listen to still. My older teen on the other hand could probably swear up a storm on her own!
  14. Seemed like there were a lot of good seats last year to choose from, today not really. I was in the 12:30 window. We got lucky last year and got great seats so it would be hard to upgrade anyways. I was hoping to move though - even to similar seats. The people behind me get wrecked and even bring weed inside in a vape pen regularly ... not how I want to smell when I’m crossing a border 2 hours later. They also put Howard Stern to shame (who I enjoy with headphones), and the language is a bit much for me to listen to when I bring my kids to the games. I was tempted to call fan services a couple times, but I didn’t want to be a jerk.
  15. In fairness I just told my wife what I posted and she just shook her head and called me a moron! I just miss sports already. It really is part of our daily lives. I also hold raptors seasons and was enjoying the season tremendously.
  16. I feel great about our team. If games are played, I hope the borders are open as I drive in from Toronto for the games! if not, I own some expensive coat racks just off mid field lower bowl, as I don’t think seats will have much resale value this year (despite the bills kicking butt!).
  17. I just hope he’s not being foolish like kevin Durant was - and is truly healthy enough to play. Don’t get me wrong - I want a big massive win by the Bills - but it would be a shame for any player to rush back from a major injury and make it exponentially worse like Durant did.
  18. I wish they would return to tunein, it was so much better
  19. I think he’s shown he deserves more game time.
  20. He looked so happy, congrats! I snapped the pic on his record breaking run, I’ll have to print one and hand to the team for him.
  21. I usually park and tailgate at kettles. It’s a good tailgate but more family oriented - and real bathrooms. Maybe once a year (when we leave the kids at home), we’ll do Hammers.
  22. I guess I’m an outlier, I like one bills live.
