The City of Buffalo has a drinking culture. People here drink. A lot. We’re also a relatively poor region, especially in the NFL world. If you raised tickets to “price the drunken idiots out,” who is going to those games? The team already has a difficult time selling suites and tickets to cold weather games. Besides, you’re making the logical jump that the “drunks” can’t afford the games. Remember when I said Buffalo has a drinking culture? The rowdiest people I know at the games would have no problem with a ticket increase. I don’t think you’d price out the demographic you think you would that easily without the team severely handcuffing itself. Locating the stadium downtown isn’t going to curtail drinking either and the party culture would be even closer for people who just want to party but not attend games. Remember Chippewa of old? Have you seen Allentown on a Saturday night recently? It’s an absolute ***** show. Bills games would be that x10,000. Buffalo is a rowdy drinking town. You can change the name but it’s always going to be that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 3 axe throws for I think $5 and I paid the man and said I'd give it a try. I told her before hand that these type of games are a lot harder than they look (I had not seen a bulls-eye in the 15 minutes I was watching) and took the axe from the handler. He said I had the wrong grip but I just went ahead and threw it not even standing all the way up the counter. Hit the bulls-eye with first shot axe sticking to center of target. The handler then yelled "See it is not difficult, you just need a good eye." and gave me a "champion's prize". I do have a good eye (or did before current issue) and one eye which is basically useless. The throw I did would not work for anyone else since my vision is so different than others. I wore the prize and received a lot of congratulations from fellow fair attendees.
