Picking games and/or cities to visit is a great time. I’m hoping Cleveland is a weekend game. I just went there this weekend for the Jays game, and I’d like to go for the Bills game but don’t want to take time off to do so. Pittsburgh is another option I guess. Cleveland is a fun trip, did that one 7 or 8 years ago. Ton of Bills fans there. Tailgate was fun, the Browns fans were mostly cool.. If it lines up me and some pals are going to the Steelers game this year. Never been there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Fixit Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Schedule release day is as exciting as a Mike and Molly marathon. Neat, here’s when the games are played against the opponents we already know are being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Should" be winnable games. Would rather deal with a gauntlet of tougher teams (Pats, Steelers, Browns, Eagles) in the second half. I feel like it's best to catch the Pats earlier before they hit their stride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the schedule release matters to people because it allows them to buy game tickets and airplane tickets and make hotel reservations, which they couldn't do until game dates are known.

If true that takes out 5/16 possibilities (as I doubt the SNF opener is Pats/Bills). I'm wondering if the schedule will be released Wed this year instead of Thur as its the day before Good Friday. I know its not a national holiday in the US like it is Canada, but it is in 2 of the 3 big states (Texas & Florida). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can usually get them on the secondary market once the schedule is released and sellers know when the games are gonna be....you might pay a little more but at least you get a shot before the team officially sells individual tix.
