Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 My Steelers fan buddy said that their ILBs are basically practice squad guys. He is worried about Allen basically stepping up and just taking off up the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL But in fairness, the whole experience of going over there when the place is empty, probably deal with some odd office that you would never be inside, and so on, is kind of the "cool stadium experience" if you know what I mean. I guess you have to be 18 years old, which is a shame. This is the perfect gig for kids. I would have been all over this if I could have gotten out to the stadium somehow when I was 13, 14, 15, 16....the money is good at that age and it's a fun, cool experience. I can imagine filling the place with about 10,000 kids...and the PR value of that would be great. "WNY youth bail out community with selfless hard work and showing the world the WNY way" and what not. Just have to avoid slipping into the "Pegula is running a sweat shop with child labor" angle. LMAO I'm thinking all seats will be available come kickoff, but maybe that's wrong. About half of all lot parking space is taken with snow...so that's going to be a huge issue. They should be running city metro buses to the stadium from a huge parking area that people can get to and isn't under 3 feet of snow, if such a place exists. Like if you can get to Amherst UB campus, park there, and a bus will go every 10 minutes to the stadium or something...no parking needed, at least at the stadium. If snow is EVERYWHERE around WNY, that won't work obviously. People under 18 are acceptable with signed work papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe 3,000 empty seats due to weather/events. Now, it might be 10,000 or more. Posted this in the weather thread, but as of an hour ago, the seats are still covered in snow. WGR said to expect to dig your own seat out if you’re going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 2 minutes ago, zow2 said: I don't know if they are doing this, but should have shuttle bus in an area where shovelers can actually get to and park their car. Free bus ride to stadium and back, good pay and free food, etc.. I think they do have food and drinks already set up for shovelers. On the wgrz report they said they were asking people to park in lot 6. If you were going to the game - you could go early, park for free, shovel for a couple hours and get some beer money - then tailgate right next to the stadium 1 minute ago, Steptide said: I think I'd have the military just fly over and dump salt at this point If they had the foresight to install asbestos seats they could just use flamethrowers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 1 minute ago, Steptide said: Up that shovel pay to $30 an hour. Get those kids out there and start breaking backs Given the weather at least give them “stand by” tickets for no shows. Curious with all the hoarding of seats from from Seatgeak, Stubhub, etc. if the Bills no longer really hold any tickets themselves. Kind of like how Samsung isn’t in the business of holding stock. They may no longer have the quantity of tickets to give like they did in years past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fools behind us try and throw snowballs onto the lower bowl and we occasionally get pelted. Foolish to toss snowballs from the upper deck to the lower bowl. Stupid tossing snowballs period. iceballs, sure. it takes a real richard to do that..... but cmon man. Its Buffalo, a winter playground for the ultimate adult snowday.

For those who want/need to sit they could try to move some under the seat but will likely be sitting in a pile of snow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo03 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 1 hour ago, Johnnycage46 said: Even though it's only a day delay this game feels like it has taken an extra week to get here. Hopefully we come out locked in and play (relatively) mistake-free. This is the only thing I'm afraid of. Randy Moss said on ESPN that the Steelers were able to stay focused and have another walk through before leaving Pittsburgh while the Bills were basically forced to stay at home waiting around. He specifically pointed at players with families focusing more on family activities in that time instead of keeping their focus on the game and he said he feels like it could play a factor and cause a team to come out flat. Not gonna lie, what he is saying makes sense. I hope we are ready to go and punch this team in the mouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
