Is the blackout official, or did some corporate benefactor sweep in at the last second and save the fans, like some rich old dude saving the orphanage at the zero hour in some hokey basic cable Christmas special?

Where did all the local companies go?
Wednesday November 23, 2005
Toyota Buys Tickets: Buffalo area Toyota dealerships bought the remaining tickets to Sunday's game assuring it would be a sellout, lifting the TV blackout in Western New York. There were approximately 1,600 tickets left as of yesterday. Toyota is the official car sponsor of the Bills.

Game Soldout: The blackout has been lifted as the game Sunday is now officially sold out. The Bills got a day extension from the league and area McDonald's restaurants stepped up and bought the remaining tickets. Those tickets will be distributed to people serving in the military and the families of people serving abroad. The Niagara Falls Air Force Base will take care of distributing the tickets.

I'm not sure what "unofficially blacked out" means but there has been no word (positive OR negative) regarding the black out from the Bills or local affiliates, so I wouldn't get worked up just yet.Comment

Re: Well, it's after 1 pm....
Tops couldn't buy any tickets this year because they bought Sabres jerseys.
Ralph couldn't buy the rest up because he got a mini pack and WNY is poor.
"We can build a $600 million stadium across the street and it wouldn't make any difference because Western New York, and you all know it, is a poor area," he said. "We have no pricing power. So we wouldn't have any more pricing power in a new stadium than we do in the stadium that we have here now. And it's a very good stadium."
Ralph is right. The stadium is great. So great, in fact, that renovations need to be made ever year.
I know this area is poor. That is why I could only afford end zone seats and not 50 yard line. I also know this area is poor because I live in a hut with no toiletries. Also, I eat rice every day and haven't showered in months.Comment

Re: Well, it's after 1 pm....
Umm, no it's not (a bad sign). Both of the previous black outs this year were announced within a few minutes of 1:00 PM. The fact that a whole hour has gone by with no word at least suggests things are still in motion...Comment

Having seen freeman at the last two home games, I can confirm the not showering part.Originally posted by mysticsotoComment
