In fact it's the writer making the leap that RWS won't be ready in time. I assume the warm weather will melt a lot of the snow this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It is my thought - hope - that the a Bills will do everything in their power to have the stadium in good enough shape to play the game next week if for no other reason that they are likely losing millions from this week's being moved as it is. If the forecast holds up they should be able to get it done with a ton of effort. It may not be pretty but it should get done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaattMaann Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) they have drainage systems in place under the field my neighborhood has drainage too - but it would be under water if I had that much snow im not pretending to know the specifics of the drainage at the Ralph...i just know that that a stadium full of snow melting probably is a lot for any drainage system to handle Edited November 21, 2014 by PaattMaann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Just mentioned in another thread ...but in his interview with Joe B last night, Russ seemed to be a little pissed that Shefter started this whole"might not be ready for Cleveland" nonsense. Russ seemed pretty confident...as i am that game will be in the Ralph nest weekend. Was supposed to be father -son weekend starting today, have just confirmed all my plans now for next week. Better be ready or i will be looking for new man parts as my wife will have them in a jar Edited November 21, 2014 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it's the writer making the leap that RWS won't be ready in time. I assume the warm weather will melt a lot of the snow this week. It may not be only this weekend's game that is affected by the storm. Brandon left open the possibility that The Ralph wouldn't be ready Nov. 30 when the Bills are scheduled to host the Cleveland Browns. It's going to be a full-on effort by our stadium operations crew and everyone involved here at One Bills Drive to get the facility ready for next week, he said. There's an enormous amount of snow to be removed and there's a lot of work to be done. It's also possible the Bills could be forced to move their entire operations next week to a facility where they could practice. That's something that's also in play, Brandon said. Not only with preparation for this game and playing this game, but obviously what may be in play for next week. That could be a potential to go off site and practice somewhere if our facility is just not operational. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/nfl-bumps-bills-game-to-monday-night-in-detroit-20141120 Edited November 21, 2014 by papazoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the drainage system was updated in the remodel just last year. So I guess well see how it all does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 the Cleveland game will NOT be played at the ralph. again, there will be no security and limited dump trucks to remove snow from the ralph until all streets have been cleared.

You cannot definitively say that. The team could round up all kinds of private assistance this coming week to get the stadium and lots cleared out enough to host a game. It does not have to be pristine conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may indeed prove to be the case, but it's too early to make that declaration. It'll certainly take a monumental effort to make RWS safe and ready for gameday on 11/30.

I would be willing to have a friendly wager on that..i believe it will 100% be played there. Just my gut. Loser donates $50 to a charity that is helping folks that need it in the Southtowns?
