A Dog Named Kelso Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) There is nothing we don't already know in this story. 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. 6' of snow isn't going to melt in a week and once it starts, it's going to be even more difficult to shovel. freeze, thaw, freeze, thaw, freeze. Yeah it will make it harder to move once that cycle starts ... ice is harder to remove than show.

A Dog Named Kelso Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Snow berms last for a week at higher temps in the spring and the are only 3 feet high ... physics is your friend. It will not take care of itself on its own ... and for showers you would need a lot as they would tire quickly.

Punching Bag Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 good, then we can see if the game can be played under water! 6 feet of snow is 6 inches of water easily handled by drainage system but you knew that and just acting like a troll. Not only ice can evaporate - the term is called "sublimation". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordio Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 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.buffalone...etroit-20141120 I would actually like it if they moved the game. Hell move the green bay game too. Then as season ticket holders we would get a credit for next years season tickets. This season is over as far as playoffs are concerned so who care where they play the game. Play it in Iceland for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Let's all calm down with this doom and gloom regarding the Cleveland game. It's going to get a lot warmer in WNY in the days ahead and things are going to melt. The whole situation might look a lot better by mid-week next week. At least I hope so.

At this point, Bills team President Russ Brandon says the plan to play at home next week is still in place. “I’ve had reports throughout the course of the day. So far everything is progressing nicely,” said Brandon Saturday evening. “We haven’t had any speed bumps come along that we weren’t anticipating at this point. So our plan is to play on Monday, get on a plane, go back to Buffalo, start preparing on the short week for the Browns and hopefully play at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday. Brandon: Tues. is when we’ll make decisions Bills team President Russ Brandon provided an update on the state of planning for next week’s home game against the Browns and whether they will conduct their normal practice schedule in what will be another shortened week. With Buffalo playing Monday night in Detroit, they’ll have one less day to prepare for the Browns, making it the third week their practice planning has been compressed. At this point in time however, it doesn’t appear as though they’ll need to incorporate travel into their practice schedule. Shovelers working around the clock at the Ralph With the travel ban lifted and the Jets game moved to Detroit, shovelers are needed at Ralph Wilson Stadium to begin preparation for next weekend.
