I just got a text message from the Bills. It's pretty cool.
V-COACH BILLS:
The Ticket Office has confirmed the sale of over 43,000 season tickets. At this point last year, the Bills had sold just over 40,000.

I know it is a good thing, BUT, if this team continues it's .500 season pace- the organization will never be forced to go for it all since they have what they want the ticket support. I'm not saying don't buy tickets- I just hope their goal is to win super bowls and not just sell tickets.
Sadly you're right FreddyvsJason. While I think Ralph wants to win, Tom Donahoe has shown he can make the organization money, but hasn't shown he will 'do what it takes' to make the Bills a winner. And if he has 'done what it takes' in his mind, it just hasn't been good enough...

If they start winning and get to the playoffs, i could see the season tickets going over 50,000 easily.Originally Posted by FreddyvsJason
Believe me, TD is trying to win. He knows the only way a small market team can be financially successful over the long haul is to win, and he knows that ultimately his job depends on it.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
They'd have sold waaaay more tickets by now if they were out on Long Island.
I'm not suggestion Tom Donahoe is trying NOT to win. Of course he's TRYING to win, it's his job. Whether he puts the team's finances and bottom line ahead of winning is another story.

oh boy stampy ain't going to like this one.
I had a dream last night that the Buffalo Bills where the 2007 Superbowl champions. We beat the Minnesota Vikings.

How many people does the Ralph hold? 43,000 seems like a pretty good amount of season ticketsOriginally Posted by Mikey82
used to hold 80,000+ and be one of the largest stadiums in the league.. now, after the renovations, it holds mid 70'sOriginally Posted by LtFinFan66
When did they renovate? I was there in 94' for a Fin's loss and it was loud as hell. I do remember thatOriginally Posted by jfreeman
They renovated in '99. Added suits, seatwarmers, cupholders, etc.Originally Posted by LtFinFan66
I think the stadium seats like 73,000 - 74,000 now. Largest crowd ever was just over 80,000 against the Phins in 1992 (I think), but I could be wrong on the year; it was def during the Super Bowl run though. In 1991 the Bills even broke the NFL record for attendance in one season...
The place still gets loud, but not as much. I still remember my first game ever. 1991 opener against Miami. Came back and won 35-31... I was nine years old and thought it was the loudest place on the face of the earth.
I'd actually have to think about that one! I want a Super Bowl very badly.Originally Posted by casdhf
Super Bowl - no question.
"I would rather die of thrist than drink from the cup of mediocrity."
Oh, and I'm glad I signed up for Bills V-Coach to get up to the minute reports on the number of Season ticket sold. I am anxiously awaiting the day I see that the Bills have confirmed sales of 45,000 season tickets.
Buffalo Only and Always.
