Yes, 25 degrees can kill you especially if you catch hypothermia or you can't get a necessary IV for a player who is dehydrated. But I still can't recall who died... I know Vonte Davis retired at half though. Ummmm Every single year from high school to college to the pros there are heat related deaths in football From 1995 to 2020 50 high school football players died because of heat stroke That’s not including college players Nobody’s ever died of cold on the football field 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags24 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I was in it about a month ago on a corporate tour event, the Visitor's locker room is pretty bad.

Bills4Ever99 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 One memory I can't get out of my mind from the stadium is 2007 against Pats on SNF. We were down like 49-10 or something, the Pats almost undefeated season. Walked into the packed men's room and Bills fan was taking a dump...in the urinal. He said.."Look everybody..I'm taking a Brady!" and then grunted and pushed it out as we all watched. Never laughed so hard in my life. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PonyBoy Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 5 hours ago, Beck Water said: It's been discussed here several times. The Pegulas spent big bucks ensuring the home locker room is not only spacious, but beautiful and well designed, welcoming. I think they might have slapped a new coat of battleship gray on the visitors side. I hadn't heard the details about 1 toilet and 4 inches of water in the showers though 😂 that's really an extra helping of trash. I'm surprised there isn't some standard about the # of toilets the home team has to provide or something. Water in the shower probably smells terrible because if there's 1 toilet everyone is peeing in the shower. Or maybe it smells so bad from all that pee from the sinks the Bills fans use in the bathrooms drains into the visitors locker room LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, that's how Ralph really cheaped out. Just have the trough drain down into an open gravel bottom pit hidden in the back closet of the visitor's locker room. It will drain out eventually... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I still think they need to paint the visitors locker room pink, I've read that color makes people docile, might as well let the mind games begin before they take the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This is true. Opposing players HATE coming to Buffalo. The locker room sucks. The fans are harsh. The bus ride in is brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills4Ever99 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm not real surpised that a dirty Patriot complained about Bills locker room. But he DID pick Bills to beat the Chiefs.

That's No Moon Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I hear the Dolphins have a ping pong table available on Craiglist. Mebbe Terry can scoop that up for them.

ColoradoBills Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 4 hours ago, longtimebillsfan said: Who cares. It was better than the old rock pile. I had the opportunity to speak with Len Dawson at an autograph show in Chicago. When he heard I was a Bills fan his face lit up and said "The old rock pile". He then said that the visiting locker room had only two showers and only one of them worked. We had a good laugh. By the way, Len Dawson seemed like a genuinely really good person. On one of the old NFL Films about the AFL Bills some opposing players talk about this Visitors' Locker room. One player said there was just long boards with nails pounded half in to hang your stuff on. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 That was typical when stadiums of that era were designed and built. Visiting teams got minimal space and comfort. Oakland's visitors was a notorious hell hole. New stadium will solve this issue. 4 hours ago, JÂy RÛßeÒ said: Sounds like the home locker room at The Rockpile That was a terrible place.

BillsPride12 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I like this. It's Sports, the away teams shouldn't expect Country Club conditions. I know that isn't commonplace now but I think once upon a time it was. I remember hearing stories about the Lakers having to deal with horrible conditions when they would play the Celtics in the old Boston Garden.

Since1981 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Okay. While I find it humorous that 53+ men have to share 1 toilet. Count me as one that isn’t really proud of messing with people’s bowels. New stadium soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
