DrDawkinstein Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 What seemed like a perfect opportunity quickly unraveled into another example of how a second-rate organization just can’t seem to do it right.  Sadly, this is Ralph Wilson's Bills in a nutshell. It's like there are a bunch of amateurs at OBD, and on top of that, they arent even trying. The events are second rate, their merchandise sucks, it goes on and on at every level.  We finally got a couple of real football guys with Nix and Gailey. Now if the rest of the office could figure it out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebug Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Why they would not allow children to wear balloon hats is beyond me. Funny how people are allowed to wear big blow-up bills helmets or giant chicken wings on their heads. Oh wait, they bought those from the Bills.

CodeMonkey Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial-page/from-our-readers/my-view/article558436.ece Same thing happened to us 2 years ago. All 3 of my kids were forced by security to put their balloon hats in the dumpster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I don't think the Bills are that badly run an organization. I've been a season ticket holder for 8 years and always liked the way they take care of me when I need something. In fact I find the other "wonder franchise", the Sabres, to be way behind the Bills in season ticket holder service. Â Yes it sounds like this was a clusterf**k but I don't think Ralph with his busted hip planned it that way. If anything Russ Brandon's desk is where the buck would stop. As for the merch I think the NFL handles that so if it's crappy then it's likely crappy everywhere. Â PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I can't imagine why they wouldn't let those balloon hats in the stadium. They were featuring a lot of the kids on the telecast of that game and the balloons would have made for great TV images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeMonkey Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Did they give a reason for such a stupid policy? I asked and they got a puzzled stupid look on their faces. "Its just the rule" is all they could come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammered a Lot Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) I don't think the Bills are that badly run an organization.

In fact I find the other "wonder franchise", the Sabres, to be way behind the Bills in season ticket holder service. Â Â PTR Really? I got a call today from a big WNY company today, confirming his special parking needs. After he said Hello Hammer, he said "Did you read the article about the Kids day"? His company is all about customer service. His company WAS a long time suite owner. Edited September 17, 2011 by Hammered a Lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 seems to me balloon hats would be routinely blown off kids heads and end up all over the aisles and the field. just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were featuring a lot of the kids on the telecast of that game and the balloons would have made for great TV images. Blame/thank DHS, not the Bills. I agree most kids would not bring see-4 into a stadium but they could hide it in a balloon. Also, in our age of terrorist threats, balloons innocently popping could cause a stampede to the tunnels and get some people trampled. I am sure this guy's letter would have been worded even more strongly if his kid got a busted leg scrambling for the exit. If he is to cheap to go to WalMart after the game and buy a bag of balloons that is not Ralph's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 seems to me balloon hats would be routinely blown off kids heads and end up all over the aisles and the field. just sayin   Interesting point. If, as a previous poster says, this was true in the past, then how exactly is denying the balloon hats a unique proof of the Bills' inadequacy? Sounds more like post-9/11 security guard tyranny to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Not bringing the kids until they are at least 13-14. Took my nephews with my brother in-law last year. It is tough to bring young ones to the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
