Q: How was the decision made to move the game to Detroit? Raccuia: “The decision to move the game to Detroit is about safety. First safety has been what we’ve been talking about here really for the last 48 to 72 hours. I want to thank the Poloncarz County Executive, Governor Hochul, all the elected our officials, certainly Commissioner (NFL) (NFL) (Rodger) Goodell and the entire league staff, and the Lions organization for their commitment and communication and assistance in helping us move the game forward. As I said earlier, our only concern was the safety of our players, our fans, our community and we are making sure not to divert resources that the community will need this weekend.” Q: Will tickets be refunded? Raccuia: “We just sent an email to all existing ticket holders for the match. So our fans will have an opportunity for a refund depending on how they bought their ticket. But I would ask them to check their emails they should have it was probably taken about five or 10 minutes ago actually. This will all be returned.” Q: Are tickets for the game played in Detroit transferable? Raccuia: “No transfer option. It’s really two separate transactions. Everyone’s tickets will automatically be credited based on how they were purchased. So if they bought through the Bills online, they’ll be credited that way, Ticketmaster, that way, ticket season ticket members, directly into their season ticket account. And the new offer will be completely separate from tomorrow.” Q: What are the group’s travel plans? Beane: We’ll try to keep a regular travel schedule. Obviously, we’ll be watching the weather, but right now, we’re getting a plane ready to leave sometime Saturday afternoon. We’ll have to wait until we hear from the airline when they can get it here. But we will try to keep it as close to our normal routine as possible. So right now, if the weather is what we expect for Sunday, we would fly back after the game. You know the game is going to be at 1 so we have our normal routine and then we fly back there on Wednesday. Q: Do you have any frustrations about not having a home game? Beane: Well, I’m counting on you to get the whole BillsMafia to show up. In all seriousness, we hope this will be another home advantage. Luckily it’s not across the country. We know the BillsMafia is over and hopefully the ones in the Michigan area will definitely go down. And hopefully those here who want to get out of the snow will drive there.
