I spent a couple of days in cold, windswept Buffalo in either January or February a few years ago. I stayed at a Marriott Courtyard in downtown and at night went to the Pearl Street Grill & Brewery which was a rather massive place with pool tables and a long bar polished to a high shine.

As I approached the pub, the streets were icy and snowdrifts lined the sidewalks. People were bundled up but mostly friendly. But it was toasty warm inside. I ordered a beer and then a burger and fries. Then some more beer. Like most bars these days, there were flat screen TVs showing taped sporting events that nobody was paying attention to. The usual Journey and Five For Fighting songs played over the stereo system. It was fairly busy that night and bartenders/waitstaff were moving at a rapid clip with a lot of plates clattering and glasses clinking.

Afterwards, I paid my tab, wrapped a scarf around my neck, buttoned up my wool coat, put on my hat and gloves and plunged into the icy darkness of a cold and blustery Buffalo night.

I want to know if the ad rates will drop.

[HereInTheHeartland]

If they paid me $50 to go I might think about it.
But then again I have toilets to clean

[DoughtyOne]

With fewer people watching, count on it.

[Bullish]

What’s an NFL game?

[Mears]

The lowest Patriots’ ticket is about $115.00.

[Dalberg-Acton]

They pi$$ed on my flag. Go to hell, NFL!

[ameribbean expat]

Both the beer and the ticket.

[Boardwalk]

I am from Boston. I have seen about 1 minute this season despite the fact Patriots stand.

[Professional]

Folks, if you think it’s good now, wait until next year when not watching football becomes normal for folks that used to otherwise spend all Sunday and Monday night watching the TV.

NFL, meet fist.

[Keyhopper]

No, wait.......
They’re all in the bathroom, yeah! That’s the ticket

[Mears]

I’ve never seen a football game in my life-—I hate the sport-————I was curious about the costs,though.

.

[ealgeone]

ditto!!

[Boardwalk]

Oh i am sure Pats games are packed with fans.

[Neanderthal]

"I used to go to the AFL Bills games when Jack Kemp was the quarterback and Cookie Gilcrist was the fullback. I think the tickets were five dollars then, too."

LOL. "Put in LaMonica!"

[Dilbert San Diego]

I’ve heard that same explanation for empty seats at Yankee games. They said that those choice seats right behind the plate were empty, because those fans were in the on site restaurant. No mention of how expensive those seats are..........

[The_Republic_Of_Maine]

not even if they paid me five dollars

[Zuben Elgenubi]

LOL. "Put in LaMonica!"

Yes!!!

[Reno89519]

Even free, I still would not go.

"Oh I am sure Pats games are packed with fans."

I don't think so. My brothers and I have not gone this year.
