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

Report: Some frostbitten fans might need amputations
They already are for me. It's always 70 degrees and no wind where I watch. I used to be anti dome. Now I'm anti everything except perfect weather. Call me a wuss. Don't care.
Same.
COMING SOON...

This is so ridiculous. If you do not know to go get yourself into the warmth that is feet away instead of subjecting yourself to frostbite because you paid money, you really need to get your priorities straight.
Really? Every fan is weather wise? If a company sells tickets to their events, they need to take reasonable and basic precautions for your safety. Expecting paying customers to know how to take care of themselves in extreme conditions at your event is not a reasonable expectation.
But because it was a playoff game and not a regular season game, the NFL got greedy and decided to put patrons in harm's way. And their army of lawyers will probably absolve them of any guilt.

Going outside without proper frostbite protection and thinking you won't get frostbite is not a reasonable expectation either. The contract includes a game outside and the weather is always a god event. This is a tough case.

An act of God revent efers to an unanticipated natural event such as a lightning strike or tornado etc.
these conditions were anticipated for all week. And the NFL decided to play through it.

God related events are things that can't be predicted and/or manipulated. The manipulation piece is important. It is like a bucket you can put things in that can't be controlled.
And they will argue things like wind directions and temperatures were highly correlated godly events there was no ability to predict and while a large portion of the population suffered no affliction when the mixture of these godly events was correct people got frostbite.

Well I'm sure their pack of lawyers will argue semantics, probably successfully but weather forecasters certainly predicted dangerous and extreme game time conditions for days prior.
Re: Report: Some frostbitten fans might need amputations
The temps were predicted...days in advance.
The Chiefs had gloves available for children. It was announced a day before the game. My first thought was...who in the world would take a kid out in weather like that without gloves?
As far as that night goes...it was brutally cold. I live about 80 miles from Arrowhead so I had the same weather. About an hour before gametime, I had to run and pick someone up, my car wouldn't start so my neighbor took me.
On the way home, I had him stop at the gas station so he could top off his tank. I had my gloves off to run my card through..about a minute or two.
My fingers were already hurting...not cold, but actually hurting.
When I got back in, I looked at my neighbor and said, "I wouldn't be going to the game tonight, even if the Bills were there"
I not surprised that out of 80k people there, that a few dozen ended up with frostbite. Im kinda surprise it wasn't more.
Well I'm sure their pack of lawyers will argue semantics, probably successfully but weather forecasters certainly predicted dangerous and extreme game time conditions for days prior.
They may have a case.
The star player's helmet cracked on impact in the cold, remember?
I've been to a lot of cold games, like that Raider playoff, but I've never seen that before.
"Did you freeze your ass off at the fish playoff? You may be entitled to compensation...."
Re: Report: Some frostbitten fans might need amputations
Nobody held a gun to these fans' heads and told them they have to go sit in arctic conditions. If children are involved, those parents should be charged with negligence.
I find it funny that not a single player or coach got frostbite, and they were out there in the same conditions, for the same amount of time, wearing far less clothing.

I agree. This is a child protective issue not a sue the NFL issue.
