I usually play a few games of Super Tecmo Bowl and start with a few beers about 11 AM and listen to the pre-game show. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijah Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 My family has been toying around with the idea of buying a projector for the first couple weeks while the weather is still nice. Sit outside with some friends and family, have a few drinks and grill in the fall weather. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 This hasn’t been talked about much. -no, seriously! I know 20 some rows from the field will be tapped off & STH’s given credit for next year and some teams have already said ‘no fans’. But Covid has been very well maintained in WNY to date. Seeing social media of friends & fam in the area behaving and interacting is a stark contrast to here in Florida. Its been proven sports can go on during a pandemic. Stay smart, stay safe WNY! We may be one of the very few teams who can judiciously put 25k+ fans in the Stadium..??? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget the warming fire inside the metal oil drum, a muddy grass field, shots of liquor at 9am, and a nice 25 MPH breeze. THEN you'll have replicated it perfectly. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 All kidding aside, if you guys do a tailgate, you should consider a zoom call and us out of Towners could jump on and do a toast with all our TSW friends. I’d jump on for a few. Go Bills and have a great time guys! Those poor picnic tables didn’t have a chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I give it approximately a 0.0% chance of fans being allowed at Bills home games at any point this year. Hopefully soon the esteemed powers-that-be give us clear metrics for being able to open up widely-attended sporting events in NYS in 2021. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite Tom and Jerry episode where Tom is in love with the female cat, and sings that song, playing the base. I haven’t thought about that in multiple decades.

Why not Sounds like a plan just be careful on how many you invite the powers that be might not be happy if you have a bunch of fans attend i would hate to start a go fund me because you didn't wear you r mask at you r own home and had to many people there !

BritBill Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Sounds like an excellent plan. Good work! We normally make a little fuss about the opening Sunday and rustle up some American themed food and beer. Even better this year as we're in the process of renovating the back yard to have it 75% decked and 25% paved. Making the social area larger and installing some outdoor heating. Just need to find a way to get the game on a large tv outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So use Trumps logic, 1 in 66 people in the country have tested positive so fill up the stadium and only 1000 people will test positive and 30 will die. They likely vote dems anyway.

Having a few friends over on the deck.. I am doing wings in the fryer and ribs and armadillo eggs in the smoker.

BritBill Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Talking of tailgating, when we were over last September we were treated to some stunningly tasting Stromboli. Something we don't have in the UK. Please can anybody recommend a simple meat Stromboli recipe please? I've seen a few online but wonder if anybody knows better than the world wide web. @plenzmd1 was it you who made this taste from the gods?

I think it is subject to change & I could see the second half of the season Cuomo letting fans in especially if the numbers keep going down.

My guess is they have to prove to themselves that each team can keep the players safe...real tough job. Many of the Euro soccer leagues did it but not 60 players and huge staffs. TV exposure more important than fans in the stands. $$$$ from tv would be at risk with 50,000 to 70,000 in the stands if spreading virus resulted.
