This is the 2nd time in the last few yrs. the misfortune of another city has benefitted Detroit. The Bills vs. Jets game is free Monday night. It gives a chance for those with less means to attend an NFL game featuring 2 former Lions head coaches on the sidelines as assistants.
Meanwhile things are getting very scary in south Buffalo with warming temps expected to cause many more roofs to collapse.
Here is a direct link to the ticketing page. Apparently you need a smartphone to download the Flashseats app. Max tickets per person is 4.

i heard like only 500 tickets are available tomorrow at the box office
I wonder how may 15 year old kids throughout the united states bagged 4 free tickets but have no intention of going... the distribution seemed flawed... i find it hard to believe that 63K people are going to show up tomorrow....
probably should have done $1 a ticket to charity, at least that way you would need to enter a credit card and might be more serious about attending...
:eek:
There have been reports of scalpers selling tickets to the game online for up to $125. Unreal.
I see there are a lot of tickets for sale on craigslist Detroit.
The place will probably be half empty
At least the Lions/NFL appear to not be allowing any tickets through Stubhub as none are listed even though the game is on their site. They should have distributed at least 5,000 at the box office for those willing to wait in line and those without credit cards.Quote:

The game was a little hard to follow as I couldn't remember who I was cheering for, but it seemed pretty well-organized considering the grabass way it was put together at the last minute.
All in all, a win for the City.
