DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2022 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 23 Bills 31 Weather

This is reminding me of the game in 2007 I went to when we played Buffalo at home.

8-0 Browns. It was a terrible game but the tailgating at 7AM was fun!

I will be there!!!!!! I can't wait for the snow game! Hopefully the airport won't be closed on Monday to fly back. Perfect Chubb weather!

Paging the King of the Stanchion, Phil Dawson.

At least it’ll be interesting to watch

I took my son to the Bills game in 2007. It was wild. We were walking up the incline leaving the main entrance towards our gate. The incline faced the lake. The wind was blowing so hard and a hard snow was blowing horizontally in our faces. We had to separate and put our heads down to make it up the hill. There were people being driven backwards by the wind. I did not see them because you had to close your eyes against the stinging snow, but I felt 3 different people ram into my shoulder as I was trying to reach our gate. My son said the same thing happened to him.

My season tix were in section 534 at that time. There were the steel shields at the top of the upper deck and it sounded like a locomotive as the wind came crashing in off the lake. I went down to get another beer and use the head at one point, and I grabbed both railings as I headed down into the concourse. I could feel the wind trying to lift me, so I threw my legs back and sure enough, the wind lifted me and I was floating horizontally at the top of the stairs. That was so freaking cool.

The game was great. Our offensive linemen and DA came out in short sleeves. We definitely handled the weather better than they did. We still talk about that game at different family gatherings. It was painful at times w/the wind, but it was also one of the most memorable games I ever attended. The Jets playoff game was another when we came back after Gastinou roughed Bernie. The Rudd game was another, but for an entirely different reason.

I was there as well, Tailgating in the muni that morning it was rainy off and on.

As everyone started to get ready to head into the stadium it started to cool down and get windy.

I also was in 534, the wind was so bad we were walking backwards so we could breath.

Got to the seats and was lmao watching peoples hats blowing down the isle ways from the wind

Blowing their hats off.

A memory I wont forget ! yet

I can't tell you what I did 10 minutes ago, lol

I feel the same way, all the snow and I hope the snow covers up


the bad defensive play us fans see way too often

LOL !!

That's awesome !! your Atlanta warm butt might freeze a bit !

Im trying to pack warm but we'll see! My brother's ex says I can borrow her hunting clothes if its too cold for me.

Trust me Eve, take her up on it

Be prepared and warm

If you get cold it will suck !

Haha yeah there better be a lot of it then

Maybe you had my seats for that game. I am pretty sure I was still in 534 at that time.

A base layer with 3 sweats and a windbreaker should yake care of the upper. Get some gel foot warmers. As long as your feet stay warm, life is good. Aslo a scarf. A valuable addition to any cold weather game. Great for covering your face and ears. Think a babushka wrap to cover your head,ears, and be able to pull up over your nose. Under those hoods on the sweats you are good.

I know it is going to be a snow event. If it also going to be all that cold? It can snow before i consider it all that cold.

Rule number one. Keep your feet warm and dry. I hope you share your snow experience w/us afterwards.

Yep. As I said, if you stay warm there, everything else is manageable. If your feet go, nothing else will feel good.

I think it's pretty wild that we all sat in 534 at some point. I upgraded to another section later on, but 534 was good because we were right on the aisle and almost exactly at the 50 yd. line. Great field views. Obviously, the atmosphere up there could not match the lower bowl.

Good advice on the feet. I always think feet/hands/neck and I can make it manageable

My brother (who lives near Buffalo) Says this type of weather is pretty normal for that area and it shouldn't be a problem getting around.


I fly in on Friday. Hopefully my flight is ok.

It’s all about I90. If it remains open they’ll be OK. If it doesn’t, there’s an issue

The Browns should just forfeit. The results will be the same. It will save everyone the aggravation of watching.

Their governor is issuing a State Of Emergency.

Come on Julie, I expect to see you in Moccasins.

So, if there is 3 feet of snow prior to the game...how will they get the snow out of the stands? Will my seat be covered in 3 feet of snow. Just wondering the logistics of that. I have never been to game with snow.

They should have the main roads good and cleared well ahead of the game. This shouldn't be an issue.

We just need Phil to kick a couple field goals, one of them off of one or two bars, get a safety and win 8-0.

They were your seats !

Columbus also had seats in 534

534 had a great view of the field

Is she worried the Browns might win ?

I was at the blizzard game as well.. I went with my son SackDawg, CapitalGG, Hinkle, Berger.. For this one, I'm holding 4 tickets to the game.. as of now, I plan on going to the game. My brother in law and I will drive to Atlantic PA (northwestern PA) Saturday, watch the OSU Maryland game at a local bar.. stay in PA with tailgate buddys.. Adam you know who you are! Then wake up early and drive a 4x4 King Cab pickup to Buffalo. We plan to tailgate with GNATS and head to the game. Wish us well!!

Freakin Gooo Browns!!

Safe travels

They very well might move the game. They have until tomorrow to decide.

I think its trending towards playing in Detroit. Just a hunch
