Warriorspikes51 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The real question here is would they change the end zone designs? It would be pretty funny if they left it as LIONS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you realize the Sabres have a roof down the street, right? Lol Terry is something like the 5th richest owner in the league, he can afford it. So can the tax payers with this massive handout he's getting. The dome in Toronto can not be opened from the end of October until late May due to the possibility of snow and ice build up on the track.

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I can’t see them moving anything Thanksgiving.

cba fan Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) 15 hours ago, Nextmanup said: Is that the same sort of dome? The Carrier Dome (or whatever they call it now) is one of those weird things where the roof is a flexible fabric of sorts and it's help up with internal air pressure; if you open all the doors the roof will deflate. Maybe that has something to do with it? Is that how Detroit is? Detroit is solid roof. No one builds fabric pressure inflated/supported dome roofs anymore and all the old ones either closed/demolished or converted to fixed roof. EX: Small UNI Dome in Cedar Falls IA on UNI campus converted to fixed roof. They had two complete collapses of the air supported version and more deflations. All during weather events. Carrier Dome also converted to fixed roof (PTFE hybrid w cables) in last renovation and comically added what was sorely lacking: AC!!!!! Unbelievable that they built the place without HVAC when the naming rights were by a nationally known HVAC company "Carrier." 🤷♂️😂Then Syracuse U does renovations and adds HVAC, then illegally litigate and bully a way out of the Carrier naming rights like a bunch of punks who should be beat up on the playground by the kids who they stole their lunch money from. Don't let the press release fool you, SU stole the naming rights back from Carrier. Original deal was in perpetuity.

Then I think they opened a “window” for season ticket holders first for the game in Detroit. Few hours later (or maybe a day?) to the general public. Tickets were free. Can’t remember if we had an assigned seat or if it was in the door and pick a seat Southwest Airlines style. I kinda remember it being pick your seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC all purchased tickets were refunded and attendance in Detroit was free to the public on a first come, first serve basis for the Jets game in 2014. That would be the only appropriate and respectable way to handle the matter again this time around if the game is moved at the last minute, but with today's NFL where they try to squeeze a dime out of literally every last aspect of the sport that they can who knows.

If that is the case it would be preferable from a "home field advantage" perspective. Toronto and Southern Ontario have far more Bills fans than Detroit. A game vs. the Browns in Detroit might have a majority Browns fans given the proximity to Cleveland while Toronto would be far friendlier confines for us. The Argos are also playing in the Grey Cup that evening at 6pm. Maybe they could sell it as a sort of football doubleheader - Live NFL action at 1pm and then invite all attendees to stick around and watch their hometown team on the big screen. Let the Molson flow all day. That would be pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
