I mean I like snow games but if the NFL is going to start moving games, that's kinda changes things. Q: What does a dome have to do with this game getting moved? A: Nothing. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Not having to deal with those steady 20-30mph winds on Sunday will be pretty sweet,, for both teams. Nobody likes that when it's only a high of 27 forecasted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your time and pack extra beer and sammies. Did you see what two inches of snow did to Atlanta 8 years ago? It took me 4 hours to get home and I lived 15 minutes away. My friend is a cop and told me there was something like 2,000 cars in accidents. I witness 8 on my walk home. I pulled over into a grocery store and walked the rest of the 3 miles home.

BigDingus Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I know it's petty af, but if I were the Lions brass/NFL, I'd say "Nope! A roof wasn't important to you when you invested $1.4 billion in a new stadium, don't come asking to use one ours now!" 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 40 minutes ago, zow2 said: Again, the stadium could be domed now and they still likely move it. There will be an emergency travel ban. They just don't want 68,000 drunk lunatics driving around and having to take police, Sheriff, first responders, etc.. away from actual emergencies. So really, the stadium should have been in Downtown, maybe not in the target zone of most Lake effect. I wonder how much snow a dome stadium could structurally hold. I don't know what 6 feet of snow equates to in pounds per square foot but at some point it would have to become a massive safety hazard. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland might alter when they arrive to make they get in, but the game would not be moved. It be played in front of a near empty crowd, but why move it? And it's NOT a dumb take; anything other than a dome DOWNTOWN is dumb. Of course, that's what we get. Buffalo! There is no snow forecasted for Sunday at game time. None. The league knows this. Yet the game is moving. I'll let you put this information together with my post you quoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't an ambulance chasing personal injury lawyer on the back of every phone book and on every billboard back then. The liability of inviting 70K people to your venue during a blizzard would be an invitation to get sued into oblivion when things inevitably go sideways for some of those people.

I wish I could disagree with you. I really do. This would be a recipe for disaster in so many ways. Something bad would happen, and it would be open season on the team and the league for putting a game ahead of people’s lives. Even if those people were willing adults who made their own decisions.

This will be basically easier for Browns fans to get there... So hope Bills Mafia gets the word out to the Buffalo Diaspora to get there! This ain't the 2014 Bills-Jets! We need to show!
