Rocbillsfan1 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I normally park in someone’s yard on Big Tree. With the storm I imagine almost all of the parking around the stadium will be closed. Are the Bills going to have their entire parking lot plowed enough to fit all of the cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polencarz was encouraging people to carpool because likely people who have parking in their yards won't have them cleared. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I owned one of those lots, I’d try to clear it if people were coming. I hope I wouldn’t price gouge, but I guess we’ll never know. 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even those yards that are cleared, it's likely to be a mudpit. Wouldn't attempt it without 4wd. Temporarily parked a truck in my yard two days ago and the ground is so muddy that I cant get it to move. I can tell you that due to the stadium being built across the street, the stadium lots filled up much quicker than usual this season. I would advise arriving by 10:00am if you want to guarantee a stadium spot. Alternatively, purchase a "preferred" parking lot pass online before you leave tomorrow. That lot never fills up. Such a waste. Edit: forgot the game is at 4:30 - not 1pm. Instead of 10am, I would say arrive by 1pm or 1:30pm.

Joking aside, the reason freezing temperatures don’t negate mud is because soil is a fairly good insulator. So while the top crust (cm’s) is frozen, below it, the water is still in liquid form, creating mud. It would take several days (if not a week) of consistent freezing temperatures for the ground temp to become cold enough to negate mud. .

realtruelove Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) The folks that do come to the game and usually park in yards will all be trying for spots in the regular lots so it will be important to arrive early.

GottaRun Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I don't think they pre sell parking passes for single games... do they pre sell for playoff games? https://www.buffalobills.com/stadium/parking "Single game parking passes are not sold in advance of the game.

Bob Jones Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Taking into account all the comments in this thread, it sounds like there’s not going to be enough parking spots to accommodate everyone who shows up to watch the game. That is going to totally suck for people who have nowhere to park. Sounds like the Bills need to set up some satellite lots and provide buses to shuttle people to the stadium. Anybody know if they’re planning to do this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow gets shoveled down and taken out through the field by hauler. At some point they have to get the field open for the game. When that happens, it’s over and the seats are in ten condition they’ll be in for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
