Huh? Ohio Domestic Violence Crisis Center Inundated By Calls From Bills Fans
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- It's been a rough week in Buffalo.
The storms that have dropped more than 7 feet of snow on western New York forced the relocation of Sunday's Bills game against the New York Jets. It will now be played on Monday night at Ford Field in Detroit.
As a result of the relocation, plenty of Bills fans were wondering about a potential refund or credit. The team put a phone number on its website designed to help season ticket holders get that information. The problem, however, was the number provided wasn't to the team's ticket office. It was to a domestic violence crisis center in Ohio.
The center said it was overwhelmed by calls from Bills fans and it asked that people stop calling the number because it wanted to keep its lines open for people who need services.
Bills have struggled with accuracy since Kelly RT @ProFootballTalk Bills provide wrong number for refunds flooding domestic violence hotline
