YoloinOhio Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Aren't the Vikings playing their entire home schedule in a non-NFL venue this year? And the Bills can't play one lousy game there due to a special circumstance? The NFL is whack. i think the u of minn stadium had to go through some nfl mandated upgrades before that venue was approved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 How many fans do you think will show for a Bills/Jets game in Detroit? I realize there are bigger issues here, but it sure does suck that we finally get rid of the Toronto game and here we are with 7 home games again. The storm is supposed to end tonight, I just can't believe they wouldn't be able to clear the snow in 3-4 days time if NFL moved the game to Monday or Tuesday. Totally doable for me... Only around 3 hours for me! Not sure how my brother would get there... I suppose if he can get his car out... He's got my other ticket. Anybody know how to get tickets to somebody quick in this case? In case he can't make it, how would my brother pass the tickets on to me? i think the u of minn stadium had to go through some nfl mandated upgrades before that venue was approved Just Jack knows all about the 'Cuse thing... He explained it well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Mud Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Apparently the NFL will not allow the game to be played in a non-NFL venue. You would think special circumstances would come into play. A natural disaster is just that. Didn't the Saints play in San Antonio post Katrina? That was a non NFL venue. Its just a bad situation all around, I know there's no solution that will please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonabb Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Apparently the NFL will not allow the game to be played in a non-NFL venue. Oh, you mean like London. Oh wait, you mean like Toronto. NFL will always do whats best for the NFL and not the fans. No reason whatsoever this game shouldn't be in Syracuse. First, it would reduce the travel for the Jets (minimally) and then the Bills. Second, it would allow both teams to actually get their fans into the stadium. Third, the CBS production vans are here and they'd have to travel less. But alas, putting a few dollars more in the pockets of another NFL owner and concessionairre matters more. Protect the $hield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
