drnykterstein Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 blow the stadium up because without power we might as well just destroy the Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 You can't be serious. There's no way the stadium would be without power a week from now. There's a thing called prioritizing and guess what-if there was a game tommorrow, there would be power at the stadium by tommorrow, because an event like a Bills game has enough clout to get the National Grid, NYSEG or whoever has the power franchise out there to make damn sure there's power.

That is not the case here. The Superdome and the Saints are probably the easiest and quickest way for the city to make money for their extremely damaged economy. They need the money to get back into circulation there and that is not only the best way but its what all the fans there want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM57 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 The Ralph must have generators........ This is the 21st century, right? 804152[/snapback] Nope. No reason for the Ralph to have generators. Unlike HSBC, which has to have generators to keep the ice frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frogger Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Since I trully believe that the NFL has something against us, it would be enough of an excuse to move the game to NE...Watch the power lines, you have power now, but will you next sunday? after all we can't allow Tom Brady to have less than perfect lighting, can we?

Albany,n.y. Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 And a football stadium has priority over what exactly? 804187[/snapback] Next time it snows, or if the snow hasn't melted yet, take a look around and see which streets are plowed and which ones aren't. The priority is about the same for electricity repairs. Just think of when it snows a couple of days before a game & the Bills put out a call for citizens to help shovel the Ralph for some small $. Try to get some of those same people over to someone's house to help him get his car out of the driveway & see how many people show up. NFL football has priority over just about every homeowner, tenant etc who lives in WNY when it comes time for cleanup or electric repair. Some people may not like it, but when you can generate $ in revenue because 70,000+ people are showing up at your place, all you have to do is snap your fingers & stuff gets done.
