How do you plow every lot and roadway for 70K people, do it fast enough to get everyone home within a few hours, and where do you put all that snow?

Milanos Milano Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I love games like this, and it makes it better that it’s a playoff game. I always manage to score cheap tickets because people chicken out. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, Simon said: So the other day I decided that this looked like a ton of fun and I was going to look into grabbing a ticket online and coming up from Western PA. We were having a major wind event here while I was monkeying around on the computer looking at different sites for the ticket I wanted (first couple rows of the upper deck, between the 40's) and I hear/feel this big crash. Go to the window, look outside and the wind has knocked down a small tree, which of course has landed directly on my truck and broken the windshield. Wow I'm sorry @Simon. Here last year was awful. I was desperate for 2023 to end 😂. Hot water tank went, cold water leak underneath tub no water for couple months, my uncle place for 5 months lots of work, worried about friends health, corded wire to jeep. I just kept thinking daily what's next 😂. Some of my favorite sports got hurt. I'm just glad Allen is ok. Didn't affect him 😂. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes soft, I’m cool with that Then don't go... it's really that simple. When the game got moved to Detroit last year, my buddy and I hopped in the truck and drove from north of Syracuse through the storm and watched the game in Detroit. We knew the risks, were willing to take them, and had a great time. Edited January 12 by DasNootz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have winter tires that are downsized 2 inches from 18 to 16 inch wheels. My car is really light, however with the winter tires I can get through anything unless its a 3-4 foot storm or ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
