It has a reservist air national guard base there and has a weather station. the issue with it since it’s a low commercial airport— how is it’s snow removal equipment and de- icing dtuff. You can easily bring local snow plows out there and quickly clear the landing strip. it’s about 2000 feet longer than buffalo.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Maybe they are all staying over at Marv's place tonight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardyBoy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 So if you're the bills, do you fly to Rochester even though it's looking super unlikely they're boarding a bus, or just stay in Chicago? My thought is probably get as close as possible and then figure it out. They can still fly from Roc to Buf if they can fly from Chicago to Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they can’t fly into Buffalo into Monday morning, whether they do that from Chicago, Rochester or anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could probably fly back to Rochester tomorrow. The airport is about 7 minutes from where I live. I haven't heard if the state has made any statements about when the Thruway will reopen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're not driving into buffalo until then either. What insurance company that insures an nfl team and all those salaries is going to sign off on that one exactly?
