    I heard this as well. As of Thursday evening there were 2 left in the legends club. I'm guessing they didn't last long.

    I really wouldn't worry too much about that. 

     

    This is the Sabres using a state law to their advantage to crack down on people who buy tickets for the sole purpose of reselling them.

     

    Camel's nose under the tent - there is no end to the NFL's greed

    I want heat so badly. I wonder if any will be left by the time they get to me.

     

    I seem to recall the previous attempt at heated seats did not end up so well

     

    In 1999 crews completed a seven-month stadium overhaul that included constructing 76 brand-new dugout suites and two new enclosed club sections each containing 500 seats. Fans in the dugout suites watch the action just 40 rows from the field. In addition, the Bills replaced 6,800 seats in the sideline club sections with revolutionary contoured heated seats, the first of their kind in North America. 

     

    After a couple of seasons - the system faltered due to global warming (Ooops - I meant weather)

    I have the possibility of splitting a pair of club seats with a family member who currently has a pair of clubs. In their meeting they were quoted 15 K per seat. Is there any advice you guys may have?

     

    Just in case you and your partner are not going to use all the tickets yourself - see what the Sabres are doing to ticket resellers. Just looking down the road.

    I've been looking to go on an Alaska cruise for a while.  One thing several people have said is if you're doing the cruise with land tour, do the land tour part first, so you can relax on the ship the second half. 

     

    Unless you need to see another mountain (Denali)  - fly into Anchorage - take the train down to Seward and get on your cruise ship there. I see some ships are stopping at Whittier now. We have been there twice - only the Grand Canyon compares for scenery

  5. The greed of the NFL grows by bounds and bounds!

    International games - sure why not?

    Thursday night after a Sunday - only the players get hurt.

    Expansion teams - sure - the player talent pool is getting thinner and thinner.

    PSL - Always thought a rip-off

    Peacock - Just a camel's nose under the tent.

    Leaving scheduled games wide open at season's end. - the fans will show up anyway.

    Not enough money to get full time officials - poppycock!

     

    The NFL only understands $$ - the fans be damned.

     

    I gave up on the day Atlanta/New Orleans non-interference happened. (To decide who goes to the SB?)

    I think, based on the article, that the supply of good, moderately priced property is scare and buffalo has it.  i don't think anyone caught my reference to global warning as a possible factor.  people r worried.  u couldn't pay me enough to move to Florida.

     

    I am turning "Old" soon and have lived a major chunk of my life (minus 15 years in SOCAL) in upstate New York. The current winters have been nothing like what the younger me lived through. Of course "climate change" is the current "casus belli" but the window of observation is too short. So, yes - Buffalo will become the  Miami of the North, the Great Lakes will not freeze over anymore and the occasional blizzard will be the result. We are ready and have plenty of water on hand. I never took up skiing

    Toronto...wait no jk definitely not Toronto - J B Jovi

     

    If you go to the Bills mecca at Santa Monica (Busby's)  - the first thing they do is throw Bon Jovi CD's in the urinal. I cannot comment on what happens in the ladies room? Is that allowed in California anymore?

  8. My wife and I saw the Brothers live once in Laughlin, Nevada. We were in the second row. My wife always tries to shut me up but Tommy gave as good as he got.

    Yo-Yo man was amazing. Dick just sat back and played straight man. No big production number or effects - just two brothers having fun on stage.

    The housing market here is just fine and affordable. Interest rates need (and will) descend again. Yes, the housing stock is older but if you are at all handy - bargains galore and not in some of the lesser neighborhoods. We bought our first house in Eggertsville in 1975 - $45K. Sold it 12 years later for $56K - put a fair amount of work into. 10 years (2007) sold for for $180K. Something happened because it just sold for $45K last year - it was gutted and flipped and is now listed for $250K - which is slightly high end for that neighborhood.  Most of the neighborhood goes $200-$220K. This is old Amherst but close to UB. I will always praise Amherst - the garbage was picked up on time, the streets were plowed in the morning and the Police showed up if you called. 

    No comparison to other national areas.

     

    And forget snow (unless you insist on Orchard Park). We just had our 2nd snow of the season last night of 3". My plow jockey just showed with an electric broom

    The vultures are always circling, like this guy in Orlando who thought he could poach the Bills as recently as last year. Both the Bills and Sabres, and maybe even the Bandits, are desirable assets that billionaires covet.

     

    The Orlando Bills? Here's what might have been if team looked to relocate


    ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s a crowded late-autumn Monday morning at Orlando International Airport, and I’m weaving through multiple terminals and thick crowds to find Pat Williams, the storied sports executive who helped bring a big-league franchise to this city some 35 years ago.

     

    He wants to do it again. Search Williams’ name, and you’ll read about how he helped build the NBA's Orlando Magic. You’ll also find that he is leading a group called the Orlando Dreamers that is trying bring Major League Baseball here. That is his big goal, but until last spring, Williams had one eye on still another possibility, albeit a fancifully faint one:

    The Orlando Bills.

     

    That never happened, and it won’t. But when Williams was watching, it wasn’t an impossibility, and so I’m here today to take the visit that Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula never did.

     

    Or never had to.

     

    What would a Bills visit to Orlando – or any of the several potential NFL relocation cities – have looked like?

    I asked Williams to give me the same tour (or as best as he could approximate it) that he would have given to Pegula, or any prospective investor or owner looking to relocate.

    – Tim O'Shei

    Just as the NFL tries to fend off San Antonio (See Jerry J) - no way they allow another Florida team - Mexico City and London are the way to go!

    If anybody has any good tailgate stories or observations, drop 'em here.

    Those of us who'd have loved to have been there but couldn't make it would enjoy and appreciate. :thumbsup:

     I made up an album of really over the years pictures with some HOF posters. You are not going to believe this - but a 6 AM - my battery went "Poof" - little cloud of smoke and everything.  Fire extinguisher within an arm's reach. The idiot light had kept telling me something all week about "conserving" battery power.

     

    By the time AAA showed up - too late to head south. The nice tech "Steve:" said I was close to an eruption - one dead cell and Sulphur gas leaking. I never open the hood - I drive to the dealer and let them do it. Ford Explorer - 6 years old - 48000 miles - kept in a garage - I guess the battery had to speak up. Had to redo the front brakes too - once. Maintain your vehicles - I love FORD although their Stock sucks

     

    Next attempt - October 1st.

    Man, they think they deserve a freaking handout for every life event now

     

    Getting married?

     

    Let's have an engagement party so people can bring gifts.

     

    Not a bachelor party with some golf, poker and a stripper...has to be a freaking weekend away with your wedding party! Don't worry, they aint gunna pay for, gonna invite all my lesser friends and family to a "stag" party to cover the expense.

     

    Course there has to be a wedding shower in there as well, with gifts required

     

    Wedding week? Let's have rehearsal dinners that run 50 people deep, photos all over gods creation, buses , who cares...they aint paying for it. Gotta be better than Betty's was and show the best on the Gram!

     

     

     

     

    Now, we having a baby...a shower is not good enough anymore ...now there's a freaking diaper party,  for the fellas only , so as not to hurt the poor young couple with the burden of actually  buying diapers for the youngin.

     

     

    Screw it, I am opting out of all this madness..you want to get married, PAY FOR IT! AlL of it

     

    You want to have a kid? PAY FOR IT..all of it

     

    Damn hustlers is all they are!

     My bachelor party (45 years ago) was at the local dive bar. Flew out that night (Friday) - married Saturday in Queens criminal court by the judge (think Harry Stone) - reception at her mothers house. Left for the Poconos that night. Pretty simple
