eball Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick -- that is simply pathetic. I expect to see a strong Buffalo contingent on Sunday. I'm also amazed by the fact Marvin Lewis is in his 9th season there. Talk about being rewarded for mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappy Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 There should be a huge amount of folks there because many left Buffalo to go to Ohio for jobs, when there were some available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 They will have their 6th consecutive non-sellout this Sunday. Only their Steelers game might sell out thanks to Pittsburgh fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you pay full ticket price to see Kay Stephenson coach up Bruce Matheson? The era you speak of saw back to back 2 win seasons with no hope on the horizon. People in metropolitan areas with an NFL team have no problem selling out 70K seat stadiums -unless the product doesn't merit attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that they had a new stadium built, I'm sure their ticket prices are a lot higher than the Bills' are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I remember skipping out of work one day back in 2001 to go see the Bills play the Panthers when the Bills were already 1-10 at that point I believe. My buddy and I didn't have tickets, didn't have the online resources(or didn't know about them) like we do nowadays. We went to the ticket booth and got tickets on the Bills side, about 45 yard line 18 rows up in the lower bowl. The stadium maybe had about 40% of it filled. Needless to say they won the game by a point and was probably one of the more fun games I went to because I was able to move down field as the ball was moving because of the low number of people there.

Captain Caveman Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Jesus H. Christ on a popsicle stick -- that is simply pathetic. I expect to see a strong Buffalo contingent on Sunday. I'm also amazed by the fact Marvin Lewis is in his 9th season there. Talk about being rewarded for mediocrity. It's a pathetically run franchise. Not many cities would take as many losing seasons as Cinci has had and continue to sell tickets like Buffalo. Throw in a star QB sitting rather than taking another snap, and an owner too stubborn to get something in return for him, and you've got a debacle.

blakesbills16 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 yea, it's quite possible that the Bengals have the worse fan base (in regards to ticket sales) in the league. It's sad, and you hate to see that because if you were a fan of the team that would scare the **** out of me. But I expect to see ALOT of red, white and blue in the stands there Sunday... only improving our chances of another Bills W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
