All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

What ticks me off about this article is no mention of the Philly Fans at all as far as being an unfriendly fanbase.
I agree, however, when kids are present, then the language should be toned down by our fans.
The part that gets me is the vibe that this is sending off that if you are a fan of the opposing team, then you shouldnt be subject to the razzing you get when you wear our opponents colors. That is BS, sorry, but you come into our house wearing enemy colors, you can expect the worst. Personally, I would boo you and tell you to go away, but I would be careful if you had kids with you.

If you can't handle the atmosphere then stay at home. If you want to bring your kids, don't go cheap and get the nosebleed seats that the white trash get who have absolutely nothing to lose.
Ive been to plenty of Bills games and I havent really had that many problems. and the better your seats are, the more calm it is. they single out buffalo but im sorry, im sure that crap goes on everywhere.

I'm sure every stadium has it's share. I don't know why they focused on the Bills for that article.
Because its easy to pick on a team who's down...and Buffalo is always at the butt end of a joke. Only when we win the big one will they get any respect (other than from Chris Berman)
Re: Looks like the Bills made the Wall Street Journal
saw the article this morning. i thought the same thing. why single out buffalo. every stadium is like this. and winning is the ultimate cure. if they wanted to fix it, they'd put out an entertaining team week in week out.

Preseason is for children. People should know better than to bring their kids to regular games. I for one try to behave, especially around children, but I'll admit, I'm pretty hammered at games.

I agree. I went to the Bills/Seahawks game a couple years ago and was all decked out in Bills stuff and one drunk guy said something to me. I was standing up cheering after Evans caught his TD pass and the guy said "sit down Spikes!". That was all. I was very disapointed in Seahawks fans. I even had my wife all decked out in Seahawks gear so if there were any problems, she could get me out of it. LOL

Did you read the entire article?

The NFL's stadium-building boom over the past decade has helped, too. Personal seat licenses and premium seating tend to price out some of the thugs. Philadelphia's Veterans Stadium was long considered the worst in the league for fan behavior. Cops used to walk through the stands in visiting team jerseys to bait thugs who preyed on visiting fans. Things were so bad that there was a courtroom right in the stadium to arraign the worst offenders. Things have gotten better since the Eagles moved in 2003 to Lincoln Financial Field, which has new luxury suites and nearly 11,000 Club seats that cost $800 or more a game.
This was the purpose of the article:

It was, without a doubt, the drunkest crowd I've ever seen at any sporting event. Many fans stumbling to their seats just before kickoff were absolutely plastered.
