    9,000 Seats unsold

    Stinks. At least I'll be there!



    Kind of a front runner town. Last December the Sabres had 9,000 empty seats on any given night. Now they're sold out for the year and the "New" Sabres fans can't wait to tell you about how they don't care about the Bills.

    Losers!

    We have 2 pro sports teams in this town. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
    Resign our own guys!

    I agree, you can support both teams at once, and I always have. But in all honesty, how many people in that area can afford to go to both Bills and Sabres games on the regular? I never managed to go to more than 2-3 of each in any given year.

        The Bills aren't long for Buffalo once Ralph kicks, especially with the lack of support we're seeing now. It's a shame, but if not for Ralph, the Bills would have been gone a long time ago.

        The Sabres will stick as long as Golisano owns them.

          I don't buy that at all!


          There's enough money around here. It's a BS excuse. The Bills have sold out for years now and then the Sabres get good and we can't get the last 7,000 to 9,000 seats?

          Are you telling me that's the cap? Buffalo can only afford to sell out 41 Hockey games, 4 Bills games and 90% of the other 4 Bills games. We just can't get that last 10%?

          I work with 4 huge sports fans here. Not one of them has been to a Bills game yet, but they have numerous Sabres games under thier belt.

          It's about being a front runner! If the Sabres were average, the Bills would have sold out.

            I'm so sick of the moving crap! People can't wait to bring that BS up. It's a load of crap.

              Bills tickets are freaking cheap as hell!!! If anything I can't afford to go to more than 5 or so Sabres games in a year. I am embarrassed that we can't sell out this game against one of the best in the league. We pride ourselves as such great fans but then we pull crap like this. I am angry!

                Stop talking out of your ass! You have no clue if they will move. With Schumer and other politicians already working with the league to keep the team here I would be VERY suprised if they left. You are another Buffalo Downer. **** the attitude of this town. It makes me sick!

                      I agree Thurm. Bills fans say they are the best in the NFL, yet they are the ONLY team to not sell out a game this year. If we want this team to stay, we must pack that stadium. That is what our claim is supposed to be, that the fans are rabid.

                              As a guy who lives in Florida & only has one trip to the Ralph under his belt, I envy all you guys that get to take the games for granted.

                              I'd love to be there live. Watching the game on TV is fun, but nothing beats the stadium atmosphere in Buffalo.

                              I find it odd that there are 9,000 blanks for a team in the playoff hunt.

                              What's the deal?
