Absolutely. Yes, their ratings fell by half, but even at half they were regularly in the top ten rated sporting events every weekend, outperforming the NHL and most college basketball games.
Let's be fair here. Even the NBA, NHL and MLB couldn't keep it afloat because of the virus. McMahon shut the XFL down to save money because he could. Player unions are the only thing stopping those other league's from doing the same.
And now you know....the REST of the story!

Meanwhile, the Athletic ranks the Bills at #6 (up from 9) in their post draft power ranking. #3 in the AFC.

In a way this is great for the Bills. As much as I would have liked a new downtown dome, staying at NewEra makes the most financial sense. The Bills are profitable thanks to a lack of debt service. My only concern are the upper decks. Will they remain standing. Ever feel them move when everyone is jumping up and down?
Josh attempts more tough throws than most QBs. What's better? Completing 3 checkdowns for 9 yards and punting? Or hitting one of three attempts for 15 yards for a first down?
I've been a STH'er since 2003, even though I live 500 miles away. I come in for a couple games and sell the rest. I've always managed to break even.
This year is uncharted territory. And how things break in the future who can say? I would roll the dice on some high corner upper deck seats. They're affordable and now is the time to get on the bandwagon. Plus you're all set for those home playoff games.
Since the Bills will refund you for games that you can't attend you're protected there. I can't speak on the border situation though.
Forgot to mention you get NFL game pass for free as a STH perk. I know it's free now anyway but not forever.
