HOUSE Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Until the Bills sign a better 2nd string quarterback, I ain't going .... .. Edited August 18, 2020 by HOUSE 2 28 3 1
Doc Brown Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Encouraging considering they already announced Jets/Giants home games won't have fans. Having 15 to 20k fans there is better than nothing. 7
SCBills Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Hopefully this happens. Would be really frustrating to have no fans against the Jets, only to play the Jets w/ fans at the Meadowlands later in the year. You can absolutely socially distance at 20-25% in an outdoor football stadium. Edited August 18, 2020 by SCBills 2

How can you do it in narrow concourses and ramps leading to the seats themselves? How do you do in bathrooms? Outside the gates leading into the stadium? The seating part isn't the issue, the issue is getting to the seating and use of the bathrooms. 4
Johnnycage46 Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Secondary market ticket prices might soar if this happens.

For bathrooms you have a security guard who only allows a certain number of fans in to do their business at a time. 4

Especially with many being so far away in this scenario

Expand At least until they get a couple of beers in them and they spot much better seating closer to the field... Keeping some fans in their designated area will be the challenge, sadly. It only takes a few to ruin it for the many. 3

Are they going to have a cop at every section? 1

RoyBatty is alive Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 LOL Talk about a total lack of news/info to discuss. So let me get this straight, in a shocking admission the Bills are, "exploring the possibility" of having fans in the stadium. My God, truly amazing. It would be more "newsworthy" if they came out and said we are not exploring the possibilty of fans, we are just not going to allow them under any circumstances.

Pat McGroder's W-o-F ceremony where Ralph was booed by a sparse, socially distanced, angry crowd and Pat tried to defend him was the emotional bottom. 1 1

JESSEFEFFER Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Season ticket holders will be the majority of whatever crowd is there. I like to think that we are more inclined to follow the rules.
