It seems like the technology is there, and this could be an easier fix than trying to find enough willing bodies at $20 an hour. You mean like in Goldfinger when ***** Galore and the girls gassed Fort Knox? That would be awesome!!!😀 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current stadium, the Bills control that. Which is why they are always the ones asking for shovelers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick_Cheney Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Yeah I really don't like that they ask for fans to come do it for 20 bucks an hour. Even if the people don't mind, that shouldn't be how it's handled. I'd like to see the waiver that they have to sign that says if they have a heart attack and fall over dead while shoveling the Bills are absolutely in no way liable or responsible. Shameful the new stadium won't have a roof. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would find something else to critique if it wasn’t the weather.

When you take in cost , logistics and infrastructure We might be 500 million to 1 billion more for a different location that needed infrastructure changes to accommodate the stadium...

Wacka Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 All these people living in arm climates telling us what to do.All the snow removal companies in the area were busy clearing parking lots and driveways.

Starting with - if they didn't hit their target # of shovelers at $20/hr, they need to raise their rate of pay. And if they hit their target # of shovelers but only got the aisles cleared before the last game, they need a higher target #.

But the steep steps and seat areas have to be done by hand. What "snow removal company" is going to pay a staff to sit around in case they are needed? They're going to do just what Jani-King is doing: hire hourly workers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PayDaBill$ Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) This is embarrassing $7B owner wants locals to show up for $20 (lol bring your own shovel) & no ticket to boot. 1. Put a roof on the new stadium 2. Hire a snow removal / contractor company and have them under contract. This repeated call for help is ridiculous!

Beck Water Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 10 hours ago, Bob Jones said: Why doesn’t this Billion plus dollar operation go to temp labor companies and get people from them? That's what they've done - the Bills have a contract with a company called Jani-King https://www.janiking.com/ Jani-King doesn't have a pool of snow shovelers sitting around being paid $20/hr, so they need to hire a bunch of people fast. One way to get the word out is to ask the Bills to announce it. The thing is, in this day and age $20 is a bit low for cold, physically demanding work. Aldi is hiring cashiers (warm, comfortable work) for $18.50/hr. Home Depot and such paying $17.50 again mostly work inside. So to bring people in fast, who are willing to work hard and spend more time shoveling than warming up, they need to up the $$ and have some kind of system where you don't see some areas getting shoveled by hard working people and other areas with people goofing off. Probably $22 would bring in enough people that you could bump the ones who are working hard up to $23 or $24 and send the slackers on their way. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 10 hours ago, KDIGGZ said: I live 5 min from the stadium so take my word for it. The storm is expected to end today. They will have 3 days to get rid of the snow. We have about 15-20 inches. West Seneca and South Buffalo got it the worst, they probably have double what we got You guys are warriors for dealing with that amount of snow year after year, 4-5 inches is considered alot nowadays in NYC / North Jersey 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my understanding they do install slides on the aisle stairs that channel the snow down to the field level where it's carted off. There were some videos of guys goofing around on the slides last week. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether they had crews working on it after the game and through this week, but there was more snow yesterday and today, so that needs to be cleared starting tomorrow. You can't preemptively clear snow that hasn't fallen yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
