(never been , but a big fan :) And wondered if any one would be tailgating just for traditions sake. Some people would try, but all these private lots have to adhere to OP rules in order to be allowed to have parking/tailgating. They probably don't want to risk not being allowed to have parking in the future just because some people want to hang out, drink beer, and watch the game on a TV in the back of a truck.

Throw in the fact that the Pegulas are already hurting for money (have already asked the Sabres staff twice to take voluntary pay cuts and will be implementing an internal salary cap for the team) I doubt they are going to like the idea of losing additional money they don't have to Couldn't they just jack up the ticket prices to ensure a profit?

Let's say average ticket price is $100, so normally 73,000 fans at $100/each is $7.3 Million. Now, we're only gonna allow 15,000 fans in, but we want to bring in the same amount, so now each ticket costs $487. Would you pay that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I drove down Abbott earlier and as I passed by all the lots I started to envision them packed with cars and a sea of Bills fans making their way to the stadium. I could smell the food being grilled, I could hear the buzz of excited fans ready to turn that buzz into a deafening roar of support for our Buffalo Bills. I could hear the random announcements over the PA. I could see the teams warming up on the field. I could feel the tension rise as the sounds of a stampede charged through the stadium followed by the introduction of Josh Allen, Legend of the Shorts himself. And then... I could hear the voice in the back of my head... And it said unto thee, "Haha, not this year, loser! 2020, b*tch!"

It don't fit their narrative and they have no social justice talking points to back up their BS. If you're gonna call out bs, call it out on both sides and discuss it so we can move forward. instead of assuming to know the hearts of 200+ million Americans Edited September 12, 2020 by BuffAlone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody has any illusions of potential profits equaling a packed stadium. I'm just curious if you raise ticket prices (say 10 to 15%), would that be enough to at least turn a small profit?

Do it from high enough and you could win a Darwin Award. If you don’t know what that is, look it up on their web site for the details on how to qualify.
