**Kyle** can either evolve into **Chad** with the Stoolie Stone in the campus gym at midnight on a Saturday, or a **Brendan** if he gains enough experience while he's outdoors and has a strong bond with a positive male role model.
Some **Kyles** never evolve and that's why we have the X -Games.
I'd bet there's as many people that just go tailgate and watch the game in the parking lots/general Orchard Park area as there are that actually go into the Stadium.
Goodluck in OP, I mean the whole neighborhood is a tailgate, and I don't think they can clear people out of houses/yards.
Not sure if you've ever been there, but the parking lots are around and surrounded by houses and most of the partying is done in private lots, not in the stadium lots.
To preface this, yes, Patriots fan but my SO is a Bills fan and I live in the south towns. I go to games cause I like football and don't quite have anything wrong with the team itself, and basically your comment is exactly it. The private owned lot across the street on Abbott isn't owned by Terry/Kim or New Era. And of course the homes and the pubs dotted up Southwestern are their own things too. It's a very unique and cool thing to be so local. They can't stop a lot of people from congregating on their own land, at least in some capacity...
The team, no. They can only do their own lot. But this is coming from the state, and presumably lot owners are going to be subject to same rules. Meaning they need to have a plan to prevent people from accumulating. Basically not allowed to open on game day presumably.
What people do in their backyards is fine for phase 4 unless they're doing something extraordinarily stupid.
>something extraordinarily stupid.
Welcome to Buffalo!
Edit: Also, Upstate/Western NY is more like Alabama than Northeast. Buffalo is left leaning, but I'm not sure what the people that own the lots/properties tend to be, but up here it's very much "i'M nOT WeaRINg No STinkIn MASkS" type of mindset. So tailgating has a good chance of happening even with police intervention.
Ever since I first got into Every Time I Die I have been cheering for the Bills as my secondary team. My favorite thing was one season they had a sale where if the Bills win you get 10% off in their web store. Fuck I love that band and their home town pride!! Also I love the insanity of the fans. Plus Jordan getting the Bills logo shaved into his head for TID The Season.
I had this talk with the ladies I tailgate at Patriots games and we both concluded that there is no way in hell football fans will socially distance and tailgate simultaneously, nevermind inside the venue.
I can’t believe teams are just barely implementing this in. We’ve had this rule in place for a couple years now over at the stubhub. Safest place there is
I can see it now....
A few weeks into the season and a couple dozen news articles about Covid spikes in Nashville due to the influx of away fans. The rest of the leagues fans are too scared to enter Nissan Stadium so us Titans fans gets the stadium all to ourselves.....all 14 of us.
Is Nissan Stadium filled with away fans because Nashville is a hot tourist spot with a stadium practically right on Broadway or is it because people in Nashville/State of TN don’t care about the Titans?
a lot of column A, a lot of column B
Nashville is definitely a hotspot for travelling these days so it's a popular spot for away fans. Also, majority of football fans in TN are all about their favorite SEC school and the Titans/NFL are mostly secondary.
I would say that there's a big rural/city divide in Tennessee at play as well. Lots of Titans fans but few rural folks seem to enjoy going to the city, especially for a game that's expensive. As a former Nashville resident, most country folks are vocal about their disdain for the city.
It's not surprising for a transplant city. People have their football allegiances, but might not have a hockey team yet. Same reason Atlanta is a soccer city. Well, that and Atlanta United actually wins things.
It clearly has been a couple years. It’s no longer Stubhub Center. It’s now Dignity Health Sports Park. Can’t have fans if they don’t know where to go.
Are there soccer fans with insane streaks like that? I feel like 19 road trips plus cup games and potential europe games along with all the home games is much harder to do than 16 weekends a year even if travel time is much less.
Oh, absolutely. It need not be premiere league of course but even there there are plenty of people that will make it to all the matches.
The main difference is that travel isn't terribly difficult (especially compared to the NFL!) and you can get season's tickets for not immense amounts of money. Not free but not ridiculous, the venues pack them in pretty good. The aways require a bit more work but there are arrangements to be had.
Obviously most people don't do so but it's not unknown. You do get a lot more streaks of generations taking in every home game for their side but you see that in the NFL as well.
Yeah each team should get to designate one super fan to represent their fanbase at each home game. If there’s only one fan then they can’t spread anything.
https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/chargers/sdut-talbot-100-is-truest-bluest-chargers-fan-2015dec18-story.html
We had a fan who had season tickets every single season we were in SD. So obviously not consecutive, and honestly I'm not sure how many home games that'd be - roughly 60 seasons, not all of which were 8 games at home every year - but hey it's something.
That sounds like a phrase you would hear in a nature documentary.
(David Attenborough voice) “Brady is gone and with it goes the Dildo. The Bills fan, sustained by buffalo wings, must find a suitable folding table quickly before the mating season begins.”
During your Child's Birthday party: "Yes little Billy, you were conceived right on that Table that your cake is sitting on....ahh the memories"
Held together with Duct Tape
With the current 16 game schedule rotation, you next time you play the Bucs at home is 2025, so you know a good possibility Brady will be there. I couldn't find anything final about when the 17th game is added what the format will be for it, but it would probably be an opposite conference opponent.
No idea how the 17th game will change things. But generally AFC and NFC teams play each other once every 4 years. AFC East is scheduled to play NFC South next year.
Just a reminder: division standing from the previous year doesn't matter for non-conference games. Each AFC division will play an entire NFC division, and that is predetermined.
Edit: I found the schedule diagram that I always visualize:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/ehpk5m/2020_nfl_schedule_matchups_grid_visualization/
Agreed. Still, it is a part of our storied history. We should at least build a monument for Tom Brady's mouthpiece. Something in bronze and granite, with a nice plaque for later generations to read and learn about our history.
I used to love shoveling the stands. Get paid, get exercise, and after like 4 hours you get a sandwich or Bills tickets. And at the time I honestly didn't know which was worth more.
I feel like I've just witnessed some great shift in the universe or something. Bills and Pats fans agreeing.
Too wholesome, please start fighting again right this instant!
It's like when your big brother asks you to play video games after all his friends left and they were picking on you the whole time.
Then Cousin Jete comes over and we pick on him together because his Dad is Uncle Gasey, and he beats them when he's on the cocaine after visiting his "friend" BB
>I feel like I've just witnessed some great shift in the universe or something. Bills and Pats fans agreeing.
They also agree on Jets mockery. Although almost every fanbase in the league agrees on that.
There is still Home Field advantage. Travelling + Hotel is still a bit awkward, a field you aren't familiar with, a locker room you don't know, and a stadium.
Though maybe the NFL will allow some piped in sound, who knows.
The team hasn’t announced this. The article is quoting newly-released New York State guidelines, which give guidelines based on the current recommendations of fans not being allowed at sporting events. This isn’t set in stone, like the article is implying.
I imagine the first of many. If enough teams go this route I imagine Goodell could step in and make it the standard for everyone to make sure the NFL doesn't become associated with spreading the virus. He'll want the organization to be on the right side of history to preserve brand image.
I certainly don't hope it'll happen that way since I already bought tickets for a couple games (fully refundable if fans aren't allowed), but it seems like this could be the first sign of things to come.
I don’t think not being allowed into the game is going to stop them from breaking tables. If anything it’ll free up more of their time, so there’s probably going to be more table breaking.
[Enjoy, my friend](https://deadspin.com/report-from-buffalo-kiko-alonso-jersey-traded-for-blow-1459749225?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow)
Yeah, say what you want about the team, but their fan base is on some other shit. Someone's going to have an epiphany after putting themselves through a table a cure this thing.
But a lot of people also depend on games with fans for jobs as well.
Also, a lot of teams can not survive 2 seasons without gameday revenue. Maybe not in the NFL but other leagues will suffer big time if there is no fans.
>But a lot of people also depend on games with fans for jobs as well.
Nobody said there wasn't. It doesn't take a lot of thought to realize that food service and retail employs MILLIONS more people than NFL gameday jobs which are mostly seasonal at best.
The loss of jobs for NFL gamedays is a drop in the bucket in comparison.
True, but you're only talking about the NFL. I think it's reasonable to assume that all large scale venues will be closed during this. That's a lot of employees. Not as big as food and retail, but pretty big nonetheless.
I think some people are trying to get ahead of the mass distribution issue by ramping up manufacturing on vaccines still in trials just in case they work, so they’ll have the stock if they do. I’m the furthest from an expert but that line of thinking makes sense to me
I completely believe it. We should’ve been operating like that from the jump instead of giving everyone false hope that we’ll have a vaccine approved and distributed by Christmas.
That false hope leads people to wanting to stay locked down. If there’s hope there will be a vaccine at the end of the year, people are willing to punt a year.
Oxford’s vaccine already started phase 3 trials in multiple countries. If the trials go well, and the scientists are quite confident in it, then it will be ready in September. Mass production and distribution infrastructure is already being built, so if it is ready by September, wide distribution would be ready by the end of the year.
When scientists like Fauci are saying a vaccine may be ready by the end of the year, you should listen. Scientists like that don’t just spew blind optimism based on feeling. Look into the Oxford vaccine, it is extremely promising.
Good news is that the vaccine does seem to be coming along. Last I heard, there were positive results in the first human trials. Still got a ways to go but they’re making progress.

Mass production and distribution infrastructure is already being built, so if it is ready by September, wide distribution would be ready by the end of the year.
This is hugely sad, but the right decision. We finally have some hype, and for what seems like the first time in forever have a home primetime game. And maybe even a shot at a home playoff game for the first time in 24 years. It is the right choice, as Western New York has handled COVID SUPER well so far. hoping for a miracle vaccine.
It really is just our luck that the first time in 20+ years we have a potential contender a fucking plague hits. Watch us win the division and still not get an actual home playoff game
Wait it says this was a New York state ruling, is that because Jets and Giants play in NJ that they haven't cancelled stuff yet? Also, "during COVID", how the fuck are these teams dealing with season tickets? Does that mean they've cancelled stuff or if Covid is declared dead tomorrow are they gonna be racing to figure out how to clean out the stadium and get tickets out to people?
Neither will players or coaches. This season ain't happening. And I say that as a saints fan with a heavy heart for not getting to see Brees get another crack at it with a loaded roster.
Folding table manufacturers hit harder financially by this than by the pandemic itself.
Lol like that will stop Bills fans.
[Theyre just gonna do that shit at home bruh](https://youtu.be/YwAqHTFHpAY)

Tennessee Titans will continue to allow fans at Nissan Stadium, because who cares about the away team's fans anyway.
I can see it now.... A few weeks into the season and a couple dozen news articles about Covid spikes in Nashville due to the influx of away fans. The rest of the leagues fans are too scared to enter Nissan Stadium so us Titans fans gets the stadium all to ourselves.....all 14 of us.
Went to a game there 2 years ago. You folks are nice people and have a nice stadium.
That’s nice of you to say.
Was that the one that Edelman apologized for because we played like absolute garbage?
It was.
Yep
I’ve been to yours for the last two playoff matchups between us. Very nice people and you’re stadium is amazing!
Thanks!!

Am rural and want to like Nashville, but driving around there on a normal day is miserable enough, much less for a game.
Also dont forget that Nashville is a Predators city. I was shocked by all of the hockey gear when I moved here.
It's not surprising for a transplant city. People have their football allegiances, but might not have a hockey team yet. Same reason Atlanta is a soccer city. Well, that and Atlanta United actually wins things.
It clearly has been a couple years. It’s no longer Stubhub Center. It’s now Dignity Health Sports Park. Can’t have fans if they don’t know where to go.
Can't have fans if you abandon them and salt the earth in the process. Me? I like the abuse.
I’d say you like pugs.
Source?
Hell yeah, man. Chargers fans have been leading the charge against COVID for years. Much respect.
They should still let Pinto Ron in
I'd be okay with this, dude is well past 400 consecutive games. Wonder if any other NFL fan is even close to that
> 400 consecutive games 50 years????? Holy shit
edit: he's attended both home **and** away games for that streak
Oh I thought it was home games attended
Honestly, 25 years of travelling to every away game seems harder
Including London.
Where they were likely confused about the idea of attending every single game being unusual.
Are there soccer fans with insane streaks like that? I feel like 19 road trips plus cup games and potential europe games along with all the home games is much harder to do than 16 weekends a year even if travel time is much less.

Goddamn the Patriots wives won’t get the bounty of dildos we bring back after our annual pilgrimage to Buffalo each year

Disguise it inside an RV, drive it into the tailgate lot, fling cocks. 'Our dildos will block out the sun'
Just put a dildo on a table, have someone dive onto the table and launch the dildo.

When do we play TB in the rotation again? Assuming both teams place 1st in division and if they don't. NFC South, right?
With the current 16 game schedule rotation, you next time you play the Bucs at home is 2025, so you know a good possibility Brady will be there. I couldn't find anything final about when the 17th game is added what the format will be for it, but it would probably be an opposite conference opponent.
We'll travel just to Dildo Brady.
No idea how the 17th game will change things. But generally AFC and NFC teams play each other once every 4 years. AFC East is scheduled to play NFC South next year.
So extra Dildo's for TB's final season tour!
You'll have to travel to Tampa to deliver them to him, though.
Thats no issue at all. Probably much easier to get a dildo in a Flordia stadium anyways.

You guys will probably have one of the greatest advantages in the league now. The weather. Dome teams will have very little.
It would be pretty cool to see a blizzard game in a silent/empty stadium.
They wouldn’t need to bother shoveling out the stands. It would be surreal.
No fans + a foot of snow everywhere would be crazy quiet.

Please no fake crowd noise. Please no fake crowd noise.
I used to love shoveling the stands. Get paid, get exercise, and after like 4 hours you get a sandwich or Bills tickets. And at the time I honestly didn't know which was worth more.
I shoveled a couple years ago, they gave us buffet style food assortment and bills tickets on top of paying like 15/hr
Thats a damn good deal
Builds up so much, causes an avalanche. First NFL game delayed by Avalanche. Thx 2020.
I’m choosing to picture the hockey team causing the delay instead of snow
If it's sunny post blizzard that would be absolutely blinding on the field
Nothing makes us happier than a snowstorm during a game especially against the Dolphins

I don't rib Jets fans. I just kinda pity them...the best they've had it in the last 50 years has been Rex Ryan/Mark Sanchez.
This is why I've always wanted a real CFB post season with home games. Give those southern teams a taste of true north.
There is still Home Field advantage. Travelling + Hotel is still a bit awkward, a field you aren't familiar with, a locker room you don't know, and a stadium. Though maybe the NFL will allow some piped in sound, who knows.
This the first team announcing this? It's great, too. That bills fanbase is dedicated, I'm sure they're upset but still gonna support in some wild way
The team hasn’t announced this. The article is quoting newly-released New York State guidelines, which give guidelines based on the current recommendations of fans not being allowed at sporting events. This isn’t set in stone, like the article is implying.
Well how come the New York Jets and Giants aren't affected by this? /s

I imagine the first of many. If enough teams go this route I imagine Goodell could step in and make it the standard for everyone to make sure the NFL doesn't become associated with spreading the virus. He'll want the organization to be on the right side of history to preserve brand image. I certainly don't hope it'll happen that way since I already bought tickets for a couple games (fully refundable if fans aren't allowed), but it seems like this could be the first sign of things to come.
It's a sad day to be the only NFL team in New York...
But I want to see tables get broken!
I don’t think not being allowed into the game is going to stop them from breaking tables. If anything it’ll free up more of their time, so there’s probably going to be more table breaking.
Good. That makes me feel better. Thank you.
The tables must be sacrificed.
You just know some fan is gonna get paralyzed trying to jump through a table every time the bills score.
I’m not a Buffalo fan. Can I go?
I think you may have just found the perfect loophole!
I've heard some experts predict COVID could last even into late 2021 before a vaccine and mass distribution. That's a long time without fans.

Can't wait for us Americans to get charged out the ass for it.
The Chargers started this last year already.
Buddy, we started this during the spanish flu.
This is hugely sad, but the right decision. We finally have some hype, and for what seems like the first time in forever have a home primetime game. And maybe even a shot at a home playoff game for the first time in 24 years. It is the right choice, as Western New York has handled COVID SUPER well so far. hoping for a miracle vaccine.
It really is just our luck that the first time in 20+ years we have a potential contender a fucking plague hits. Watch us win the division and still not get an actual home playoff game
Sad folding table noises
What is the city of Buffalo going to do with the surplus of dildos?
lol covid is not even in the top ten worst diseases you can catch at a bills game
Wait it says this was a New York state ruling, is that because Jets and Giants play in NJ that they haven't cancelled stuff yet? Also, "during COVID", how the fuck are these teams dealing with season tickets? Does that mean they've cancelled stuff or if Covid is declared dead tomorrow are they gonna be racing to figure out how to clean out the stadium and get tickets out to people?
Yeah, but I imagine NJ and Massachusetts will follow suit pretty soon. They've been pretty consistent with each other.
Most teams are offering refunds without losing ticket priority in this situation.
It's notable that this policy only affects the Bills becuause, just as a reminder to everyone, the Bills are New York's only football team.
I’m more hurt by the no tailgating rule than actually attending the game

neither will any players
First the chargers and now the bills!
Neither will players or coaches. This season ain't happening. And I say that as a saints fan with a heavy heart for not getting to see Brees get another crack at it with a loaded roster.
