    Bills need snow shovelers

    But it's still the astroturf stuff, isn't it?  The entire "floor" of the stadium is covered in it.

     

    Seems like you would damage it, even if players aren't playing on it.

     

    And then how do they get heavy snowfall off the field where they DO play?

     

    It's an interesting problem I think.  Maybe that fake grass is tougher than I think!

     

     

    For reference, when the 90's Bills would go to play the Superbowl, the players drove on the field, and parked their cars right on the field. So it does withstand a lot. I can only imagine improvements in durability since the 90's.

    So... Then, the push it all the way down... Let it cascade over edge of upper deck into lower bowl?  I wonder if the crank the heaters in the clubs to help it or would that just make things worse, freezing and melted water.   I've would suck on the steps!

     

    My time there was pre club heaters. There really isn't any other option than to push it from upper to lower. 

     

    "Push it from upper to lower" could be a song title used in a porno. I may retire from this idea.

    There are places all over Atlanta and most major cities where day laborers gather to find whatever work they can get. I would think there would be a way to find those people and let them get their shovel on. 

    Day laborers aren't really a thing up in Buffalo. Like you won't see 20 guys standing around for day work at Home Depot here. But those who want to make a quick buck and get food will show up.

    For a kid this would be a great deal and an interesting experience.

     

     Do they have an age limit?  Like 16 + maybe?

     

     

     

    I think it's 18+

    Serious question.  Where do you put the snow?   Seems like you would just toss it where the next guy is shelving.   Or is just the field that gets shoveled?

     

    Pushed to the aisles, chutes placed in the aisles, shovel snow in chutes, dumped on the playing surface, back loaders place snow in dump trucks, ultimately finding a home in the ECC parking lots.

    NY Times to buy The Athletic for ….

    The company I work for was purchased for $5 Billion, $4.25 Billion in cash. https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/01/apollo-completes-its-5b-acquisition-of-verizon-media-now-known-as-yahoo/

     

    $550 Million is not a lot of money for a corporation as big as the New York Times.

    Interesting. It sounds like they wanted the Athletic less for the content and more for its customers’ info.  

     

    That's the only reason for this deal. Yahoo has over 9 Million people who use it for email, Finance, etc. Apollo will be pushing their Caesars Sportsbook app to all those 9 Million people.

    $15 an hour for back breaking labor … with businesses desperate for labor, I doubt they’ll have much luck with this

    I did this during the Superbowl era. Shoveled snow, picked up garbage. Graduated to cutting checks for those that did the work at the end of the shift. That's the draw. You're paid when you're done, so the lure of quick money is what will bring people out. Primarily from the East and West sides.
