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.

If you are looking for information on the relocated game, please call 1-877-228-4257. The ticket office was expected to reopen on Monday morning, the Buffalo News reported.

The NFL announced Thursday night it was moving Sunday's game, which was originally scheduled for 1 p.m. at Ralph Wilson Stadium, to Detroit for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Monday, because of the dangerous conditions in western New York. At least 13 people have been killed by the storms.

The game will be carried by CBS affiliates in the New York City market and all over upstate New York, as well as on DirecTV for out-of-market subscribers.
