2026 Rivals Series: AFC West

But before we get there, Luca, we had some drama in Bill's land this week, and you and I wanted to touch on it.

It has to do with the PSL season ticket holders and what the Bills announced with relation to the red and blue scrimmage where PSL would be an exclusive event for PSL holders.

And that rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

And I think the bills caught wind of that and then realized, okay, we need to make something available to non PSL holders to have a chance to get into.

So then they, they announced they're going to have another open practice.

That's going to be available to everybody kind of first come first serve and some PSL holders, especially some loser that called in the WGR.

that decided to name call people that don't have PSLs, took exception to that.

And where do you come down on this, Luca? Because I understand if you bought a PSL, you might feel a certain entitlement to that seat.

But I also feel like maybe you don't fully understand what the PSL entitles you to.

It is literally first come, first serve, Buffalo Bills football games.

It is not your seat that you own for every event that goes on in that stadium.

Yeah, it does have some additional event stuff to it.

I love that people instantly in the know kind of made sure they highlighted within the contract that any individual that agreed to a PSL, paid for a PSL, so on and so forth, it essentially states, and I don't have the verbatim in front of me, but it's essentially telling you that at the discretion of the stadium and the stadium ownership, At any point, there could be an event there where you don't have priority due to your PSL.

And for that right there to be built into the contract of which any individual signed it, for you to then be entitled to a level that feels upset with not a regular season game that is being taken away from you, not even a preseason game, That's being taken away from you or any let's call it high profile concert, for instance, that's being taken away from you.

It is a open practice in the middle to late stretch of August that has been included last second or off the cuff or whatever you want to call it that they realized, hey, there are going to be plenty of individuals in this area that don't have the opportunity to get into the stadium because they've unfortunately been priced out.

And we, as an organization being the Bills, have the ability to open up another window of time for potential people that don't have that PSL access and don't have the exclusive rights for their seasons and all that access that comes with it to then come into the stadium and enjoy this new thing, this new feature that the team they love and support in this area has for them going into this year and years to come.

And I think first and foremost, thumbs up to the Bills organization and things like that to come up with something like that.

So last second, they didn't need to do something like that.

The Bills did not need to alter their offseason schedule, introduce another open practice, which comes with it.

A lot of eyes, you know, a lot of distraction for the players.

I mean, Josh Allen's going to be getting yelled at by a bunch of fans once again, which always happens in the red and blue scrimmage.

So on, so forth, like all of these things are going to be happening for them.

That is going to take away from a valuable practice session.

But it is them nodding to the fans and nodding to individuals that don't have the ability and don't have the access that they would like, you know, for their own reasons, for whatever reasons, that you can at least enjoy a little piece of this for now in a small way.

little thing that is, in my opinion, very secondary to anything that a PSL owner should even remotely be upset about.
