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
Re: Report: Some frostbitten fans might need amputations
There were warnings posted at all the entrances. There were a dozen or more warming stations set up both outside and inside the stadium.
Is there precedent?
Has there been cases of frostbite at NFL games before this? Was the NFL or a home team successfully sued for negligence?
So "if" is a better place to start.
If you had, say, even 5% of the fans end up with frostbite, or about 3000 people, then you might have a case.
This was 0.0003%
Of course, these are severe cases that may require amputations (I'm guessing toes and finger tips for the most part...ears are another). How many mild cases were there with some blistering on exposed skin?
As a progressive liberal, "You can't do x because someone might get hurt" is one of my least favorite aspects of liberal ideology.

Warning signs don't make it warmer.
Players were provided heated benches. Patrons were not.
Did the warming station locations provide adequate views of the game?
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.
The teams were provided heated benches, the patrons were not, but you're so smart. Plus they are in a heated locker room for the maximum amount of time.
The n f l sold fans tickets. what were the fans supposed to do, stay at home?
Ummm, yeah. Or resell them. Or dress for it. I spent like $150 on new gear for the Wild Card game against the Steelers. Knew it was gonna be cold, and prepared accordingly.
Everyone went into that stadium knowing it was on them to stay warm. They signed up to stand in -20.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

Not everyone grows up in the cold, so they don't all know what it takes to stay safe in it. It's not reasonable to expect everyone to go to a game believing that amputations are possible if they don't dress for what are to some, unimaginable conditions.
ignorance of what? I wasn't going to the game and I live 1000 miles from KC but I knew the forecast was historic cold. It was on national news for a full week. Your mother taught you when you were 5 to bundle up and wear layers in the cold, no? These are the same folks that need a $1m search party on a mountainside because they didn't bring a phone or a compass on a camping trip. I'm sorry they got frostbite. But it was pretty easily avoidable.

Not everybody knows cold like you do.
"We're the NFL, where attending our games could lead to your amputation. That will be $2,000. Thank you very much"
