A good track record. By the way, can anyone who lives near Buffalo confirm whether Ralph Wilson Stadium has power? I am going to the game and have heard that lots of places in the area are still out. I assume that if there was a problem the NFL already would have announced it, but you know what happens when you a s s u me.

I'm sure it has power. A lot of people don't have power because it's a question of priorities. In other words, the Bills are important to Buffalo. The game will go on.

The people without power are simply down the list of the national guard and utilities. We're now in FEMA disaster area territory. 30% of the trees in the entire area are on the ground.

Hotels are booked though and there's debris all over the streets. Expect traffic and parking problems since people living near the stadium provide much of the parking.
