BRH Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Apparently the Dolphins have had a few games moved or rescheduled because of hurricanes or other weather events.

Process Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I will never get over the fact that they are spending $1.5B to build a new stadium and decided to put it in Orchard Park. The sun is shining at my house in Amherst right now. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how well Josh played with no fans during COVID? Add a dome to that and Josh will have a field day. It would be a neutral field at best, but my money would definitely be on Josh Allen in a dome. And of course I will be there making as much noise as is humanly possible. Go Bills!

MarkyMannn Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 So I just spent about 90 minutes outside. West Seneca 5 miles from stadium. Snow is coming down good. I had 15" in my driveway and its all hard pack, tough to move. By the time I was done the parts I cleared first had another 3". Very windy, visibility 100-150'. And I know going from my house to the stadium, it usually gets worse. Be sure to be careful turning blower in the street cause anyone on the road won't see you. Maybe 6" on street and the town plows it well. PD & FD on my street 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 1 hour ago, TheFunPolice said: One of the league's biggest stars played a down with a cracked helmet because of the cold. That he didn't take a big shot with a cracked helmet was pure luck. Thank God it didn't happen. That the Chiefs didn't have to call a timeout or sub him out for that play while the equipment was exchanged was something else, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I still think they should have built a dome, and know that has nothing to do with this, putting it in an area that tends to get slammed with lake effect snow seems like a rather questionable decision. Unless that's not really the case and there wasn't really a better location in the Buffalo area. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 1 hour ago, Dan said: I look at it the other way… the league needs to be smart when they schedule games. I know you can never 100% predict the weather. But they don’t consider weather at all, it seems. KC shoulda been the early game yesterday. And Houston, playing in a dome, the night game. There’s a world of difference between freezing temps at 2pm vs 8pm. And it’s even more dramatic when you consider 10ish pm when the game ends and then fans have to drive home. But we all know why KC was the primetime game. Even more so… had they considered the long range forecast last week when making the schedule, I would bet Saturday looked like less snow for Buffalo than Sunday. Had the game been played yesterday rather than today… it goes off with no real concern. Maybe eventually they’ll wise up and consider more than just TV ratings in their scheduling, but I doubt it. The networks pay too much. So I don’t see this as a Buffalo problem but a league problem for not considering the very real impact that weather has on a game and fan attendance. I bet the league doesn't see it as a league problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 They should just give the bills the win, skip the game and give the steelers another 1st round pick. Sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the governor overreact? This is why the league hates us. You clearly don't understand how lake effect snow bands work. Imagine you have to drive 10 minutes away to pick up your friend. Except he lives in a Lake Snow band and you don't. He will have feet of snow on the ground and when you drive into the area you won't be able to see anything, maybe not even the road in front of you. Where you live will have a dusting of snow and the sun might even be out. That's how. It's not possible to overstate how drastic differences there can be. Back in 2014 when we had 7 feet of snow in South Buffalo and the surrounding Eastern Suburbs, North Buffalo had exactly ZERO inches of snow. At 5" an hour without any wind the only thing you would be able to see is a giant wall of white in front of you.

All I know is, I wouldn't want to be on that plane when it's landing. My guess is they'll try to circle around Batavia or so and then come in from the northeast to avoid most of that.

Draconator Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 11 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: There wasn’t. They did all of the site studies. This was it. Plus the Bills have built themselves some pretty nice facilities in OP. If it was Downtown or at UB, they would have to build all new facilities or start from scratch. That's why the 49ers stadium is in Santa Clara. That's where their team facilities were, and they would bus the team from Santa Clara to San Francisco and Candlestick for games. No need for that anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
