It's not like WNY general sports fans won't sit out in the rain for a Bills game - Heck, they had 60,000+ sit in the rain for the Winter Classic a few seasons ago... Snow, actually. You have a point, tho. That game was awesome, by the way. |

Why did Top Gun have to be on Friday night, and not now?  EDIT: Mad Max 2 on AMC will have to suffice. |
