Why does Kathy Hochul have any say about this decision?

They were offering $20hr for snow shovelers at the stadium...if they threw in free beer and hotdogs, likely everyone with a ticket would dive right in, and those NOT willing to could surrender their seats to those who would. LOTS of folks in that area would be happy to make that sort of money.

NFL and NYers, you wussed out, IMO. Check out some of the winter weather that the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have played in before.
For example, and for some of you not old enough to remember, there was the "The Ice Bowl" played in 1967 between the Packers and the Cowboys. Temperature at game time - 13 degrees below zero. And it was a sellout at Lambeau Field.

The politicians have gone nuts trying to avoid the tragedies of last winter's storm.A few miles north of Buffalo and we've had high winds, 28
The politicians are still embarrassed by the multiple deaths in the storm last winter. Doing their best to prove their compassion and avert more tragedies.
Just north of Buffalo we have had very high winds and less than 2 inches of snow and 28º. Of course I'm from Minnesota so I don't usually complain about Buffalo weather.

First, the good governor postpones a playoff game. Next, she will blame climate change.

I hope everybody is enjoying the Miami-KC game being “broadcast” as streaming ONLY on Peacock. Who thought this was a good idea?

Good. More time for keyboarders to trash Steelers and dismiss Mason Rudolph as a 3rd stringer. Teams at the beginning of the season are not the same teams now. Keep looking past Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, have any commenters driven from Buffalo to PA, in winter, with massive lake effect? It is an experience, if the road isn't closed. KC was/is brutal, but not the kind of sudden, 3 feet or so of lake effect that will cover Buffalo and 70+ miles around it.

I can hear Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, Bart Starr, Dandy Don, Ray Nitschke, Jethro Pugh, et. al., laughing from here. Pussies. But that's what 2024 "America" has become.

And the Chiefs pretty convincingly pounded the Dolphins and it was -8F when the game ended, after starting at -4F.
I can tell you, that's cold.

Regarding the broadcast only local affiliates would show the game on NBC, however, outside of that Peacock.
I live in Palm Beach county and had to subscribe to Peacock. My son lives in Broward and watched the game on NBC along with Miami Dad county.
This is so wrong! I'm from Buffalo so I get to see the game on CBS.

Having been to a few NFL games both in indoor and open stadiums, I can honestly say that indoor stadiums are better. Outdoor stadiums are fine up through October and if the weather is ok, but the price of an NFL ticket is far too expensive to sit outside in an open stadium when the weather gets cold. I'm not the one getting paid the equivalent of a yearly salary to play a game. So, sitting and freezing my butt off while a twenty mile an hour or more wind whips around me isn't the kind of afternoon I want to endure.

Mark Russell used to say he was having a contest. First Prize was a week in Buffalo in February. Second Place was two weeks in Buffalo in February.
