Southern Bills Fan Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hopefully with the proposed covered seats it will mitigate the wind somewhat. It’s usually the wind that’s the problem, not the temperature. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkScrewHill Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 There is a difference between cold and potentially life threatening cold. There have been right around 500 games in Buffalo and this will be the second coldest. You have people already worried about Covid and then throw this into the mix and many people do not want to take the risk. I personally would love a dome, but I do think you can be unwilling to go to this specific game, but still want an open air stadium. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMF2006 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I bet the Bills Box Office is almost sold out. The secondary market usually take a bath on these games when conditions are not ideal.

Matt_In_NH Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This type of cold is rare to line up with a game....but will cause a lot of dome talk. All we need is a gofundme to raise a billion and it can probably happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conlan58 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The biggest argument I have for a dome is that it becomes a place that can be used year round. Think RV shows, concerts, expos, other sports, etc. Heck, maybe even someday hosting the Combine. I'm not going to lie - I would be there if it wasn't going to be as cold as it is. If it were a dome, I would be bringing my whole family, but I have two young boys and there is no way I'd do that to them with the current situation. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The dome talk is nonsense. Imagine them sticking a dome over Lambeau? It’s embarrassing.

stevestojan Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 We need a dome. We're not a rough and tumble "blue collar" rah rah bull#### team. We're FINALLY a team with a all-pro QB. What is the advantage to making him play in weather that's considered torture by the Geneva convention? Silly Buffalo pride? If we were in a dome tomorrow, I’d take Buffalo -10 in a heartbeat. With the temps being forecast? I have no idea who wins the game but I’m far less confident. The ball will be a rock and as we saw last time, that means the receivers have trouble catching the ball. I’m actually in town right now and there’s no WAY I would go sit in that mess. Call me a literal fair-weather fan, or that I’m not “tough enough” or not a real fan, but there’s nothing enjoyable about sitting outside for a minute; much less all day and then 4 hours for a game, when it’s 5 degrees out. 2 4 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestojan Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 There stadium might be 70% capacity solely because the human body isn’t built for 5 hours of tailgating and 4 hours of game in sub-zero temps. Too many people will start tailgating early and drop off. The late start hurts as much as anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the Bills makes it more bearable for most but still. “Sanity” is not to be found in the lexicon of Western New York warriors who seek gridiron immortality. An alleged defender of Snow Sparta who expects the glory and the sundry spoils of war, yet who is also unwilling to shed one’s own figurative blood (or frozen extremities, in this literal instance)?? Like…seriously, brah?! The Pro Football Gods of Buffalo have no use for such football freeloaders. This subtly hijacked pro-dome thread is an affront to their very EXISTENCE. Pray tell, BillsFanInSB: are you a spiritual soldier of the winter? When the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo divinely whisper their commands to you as you await your lithium prescription renewal, do you not listen? Understand that I myself am but a simple warrior princess of the Queen City, a deeply traumatized child of The Drought Era, a scholar of Buffalo Bills history, and an acolyte of the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo. I am incapable of much discernment beyond the fact that I love my Bills and that my hatred of all things New England Patriots flows naturally through my bloodied veins like a beau fleuve into a great lake. For the life and death of me, I cannot perceive a situation where I would dare question attending the first full-house home playoff game in 25 years within the palatial confines of Highmark Stadium, no matter the temperature or wind speed or precipitation, IF in fact this is what the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo decree. Oh, and decree they do! While the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo do not normally request much from the caretakers of their homeland, they do politely ask that the 1963 AFL Divisional playoff game and the 46-77-1 lifetime record against the Patriots (and 4-34 from 2001-2019, mind you…mostly due to their cheating) be avenged. No no…scratch that…they DEMAND approximately 3 to 4 hours tomorrow night of unadulterated, unapologetic, poetically cathartic, and borderline erotic violence inflicted onto the invaders from the Eastern Lands who annoyingly pronounce “er” and “ar” with “ah.” So drop the pie-in-the-sky dome drivel and go purchase a playoff ticket. Help the team win! Be loud and start talkin’ proud, talkin’ proud. Kick up your heels! Throw back your hands! Shout! Get dangerously drunk in the parking lot. Jump through a folding table. Smuggle a giant Billdo projectile past security. Physically assault a Patriots fan innocently seated nearby. Push back any concerns of extremity necrosis to the following afternoon. Break off your blackened toe and hurl it onto the field if the otherwise well-intentioned security folks managed to abscond your smuggled Billdo. In other words, BE A REAL FAN OF BUFFALO BILLS FOOTBALL because this ain’t no mother@*king jaunt to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and this sure as sh!t ain’t no sojourn in a Wegmans grocery store. Oh…what’s that you say? You are now among the more seasoned Bills Mafia warriors with greater priorities beyond watching pro football in situ?? Ha! Sports and career, work and play, family and bachelorhood/cat lady status, life and death…artificial distinctions to the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo. False constructs from mortals who can only hopelessly endeavor to attain ethereal gridiron omniscience. Is a folding table not a structure over which to studiously peruse Buffalo Bills history books, as much as it can also be a landing spot for a fiery drunken dive at a tailgating lot? Is a King Kong-sized vibrating marital aid device not a dependable bookend for said Buffalo Bills history books, as much as it can also be a sophomorically hilarious projectile aimed at Coach Belichick’s stupid head tomorrow night? FACTS: There can be no more honorable ending for a veteran Bills Mafia warrior than to freeze to death at a Bills game, with you and yours locked together in icy harmony. “Thank you so much for your football fan service,” might declare the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo, “but this brisk night of January 15, 2022 is appropriate time for your brisk retirement to eternity.” Hallmark Stadium: the idyllically frigid wintry Logan’s Run Carousel of Western NY. For the greater good of Snow Sparta! Praise be to the Pro Football Gods of Buffalo! Woohoo!!! Sooooo…..um….yeah. Buy or buy not. The Pro Football Gods of Buffalo impatiently await your final decision on tomorrow’s playoff tickets. They do not need the particulars of your excuses. They do not care about your stance on vaccination policies. They do not seek a signed medical note explaining why you’re too physically disgraceful/old to be out in cold weather. But do remember that Buffalo pro football immortality is on the line! You shall have plenty of time later to stay warm during the cremation process that your dear family members have planned for your corporeal remnants. And yes, I am bathing in a tub filled with ice cubes as I condescendingly type this. Such is the proper way for a true soldato of Bills Mafia to purify one’s body and mentally prepare for the treacherous NFL playoff road ahead. Go Bills!!! Is it Saturday night yet??!!
