BringBackFergy Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This is kind of a bastardized dome/weather/scared of Patriots thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I am very interested in this one particular question. Some of the Stadium threads are long. This seems to be the week when the cold is the biggest issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people staying home because it's cold ... there must be five or six thousand of them, since that's about how many are available on the secondary market. So, hell, that would be plenty to cover the costs. Each of them tosses in somewhere between a hundred thousand and five hundred thousand simoleons, and boom!! Don't forget the season ticket holders who sell their seats. There are many season ticket owners who are 55+ who just don't want to deal with the crappy weather. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn’t a person enjoy going to games in the early part of the season when the weather is nice, sitting outside, and having a great time…and therefore ALSO not wanting to sit inside on those nice fall days? Who says you have to go to every game or enjoy freezing your butt off? Because attendance is very important in a small market city. The League looks very closely at season attendance numbers Just saying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in the ratings boost when Buffalo is a national game and I believe the league is pretty satisfied with this small market city. If the NFL was worried about fans coming and being at the game...perhaps they would have the foresight to take weather into account when they scheduled this weekends games and made it a daytime game so there is still some sunlight out. 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But instead of owning it, the Pegulas like to say that the "city and fans don't want it". That's what's really going on. The fans want a dome if they don't have to pay for it. I'm sure the Pegulas would say the same. And by the way, I want a date with Halle Berry and Emma Watson. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am always cold without my shawl, even in August. And I always seem to be waiting for my soup. I don't need the age shaming or cancel culture that IS the early 21st century machinations. I have my rights, too! ...now why the hell is the window open?! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a roof pay for it yourself. The issue isn’t just the cold. We have so many crazy wind days. It’s a home field disadvantage.
