dwight in philly Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hammer's Lot is not convenient for everyone as Abbott road WILL be blocked in front of the stadium this game One drunk kid and I think there is more to the story I would guess when you parked there it was run by a older gentleman. Now it's run by a different enterprise. i have not been there in about 5 years, as i recall, it appeared to be a "family run" operation. the woods on a crisp fall october afternoon was so picturesque, just an awesome place like we have all said. i actually went there for 2-3 hours before a home televised game and left just before it started and watched it at home. best of both worlds.

The Tomcat Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'll be parking in Hammers lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 What are those lots like? Restrooms, grass for easy staking of a pop-up tent, etc? $5 for grass parking, the first lot on the right hand side off SW. Restrooms? Well there are big bushes around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammered a Lot Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 From what I hear they still parked car for the Bills vs Vikings game. I don't know if they told the parkers that the fence was up but things got a little heated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djp14150 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It looks 8 foot high. There are "no trespassing signs" located at the bridge I heard. So I don't know if the signs remove any rights to sue if one gets hurt while trespassing. I would think the property owner knows about the fence. There was just a fund raises for EC sheriff on his property there is a legal difference. for example if you have a swimming pool without a fence you have far more liability if a kid goes into your pool and drowns than if you have a fence up around the pool. Same thing here...there is a potential legal liability. If they have a fence up and someone sees it they will walk around to avoid it instead of taking a short cut. http://www.wgrz.com/news/article/223336/37/Bills-Cut-Access-At-Popular-Shortcut-To-Stadium- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Bridge has been up since at least 2005 and now it is a concern for wheelchairs access? Is California Road any better for wheelchair access? Do you think this is a coincidence with new 'Disney style' parking knowing many will choose to park elsewhere? IMO the Bills will try to do everything they can to try to inconvenience those who do not want to pay to park. Maybe the Bills should call $nyder for ideas on how to charge those who do not park there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Imagine that - guessing that over 40 years - some 250,000 fans crossed that ravine without major incidents. And all it took was one drunk kid to put a stop to it. And once again it'll be up to Kevin Bacon and friends to hold a dance outside city limits to make things right.

Hammered a Lot Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 What happened? I guess they never told their parkers about the fence and after the game they where pissed.

simpleman Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Given Reason - Bridge, steps - Safety and government regulations Real Reason - Bill's Greed - eliminate the competition, more parking dollars Given Reason - Clear bags, seat cushions - Safety from terrorists Real Reason- Bill's Greed - more concession dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly a structure where the Bills had to provide no parking or concessions would be ideal for them. Their liability would be less and they wouldn't have to worry about kids ending up dead in a ravine on their property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
