Corp000085 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 AP-NFL: Saints URGENT Will the Bills host their game in Oct.? 427345[/snapback] You're crazy, right?? Don't you know that the New York Football Giants, playing in New Jersey, will be the only team this season to host 9 regular season games? How silly were you to even suggest that the bills would get to host an extra game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mile High Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 AP-NFL: Saints URGENT NEW YORK (AP) _ The New Orleans Saints will play their home opener against the New York Giants at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Will the Bills host their game in Oct.? 427345[/snapback] I read on the bb.com messge board that it's a possibility that the Bills will have 9 home games this year because of the tragedy. It's also possible that they could use a college venue instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udonkey Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Any word on how this works for season ticket holders if it does in fact occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasoninMT Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 If the NFL does this.... every penny of those tickets should go towards the city of New Orleans for relief efforts... Let's say everything over $5 (saying that $5 pays for the cost to put the game on... Security, power, etc...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsGuyInMalta Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I dont think the NFL will allow the Saints to play too many games away from a "home" stadium. I'm willing to bet that they'll only play one game from their originally scheduled 8 home games in an away stadium. I think the Bills get the first crack at New Orleans in whatever becomes their home this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 WOW! That means a double-header at the Meadowlands...(Jets host Miami @ 4). I was wondering how it would work out logistically, since there's a game there virtually every weekend (except potentially for bye weeks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think that Gints game is on a Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think that Gints game is on a Saturday. 427602[/snapback] The release says they are still working out the details (now that I went back and re-read it more carefully...), as the game was scheduled for 1:00 Sunday. I would expect a move to Saturday would happen, but still a double-header on the same weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasper13 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I think the Bills-Saints game should be played in RWS. Charge $25 a ticket and give a million bucks to the Red Cross or whomever to help New Orleans. The game would be a guaranteed sell out. It would be tough on the Saints to play 10 or more road games but maybe by November they can play 4 or 5 home games at LSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
