I thought it was about McD’s use of time outs!

Wow! What a day! Game was a little spicier than we had hoped but we won so thats Ok! Hammers Lot was fun! Condiment ceremony was pretty wild. the old stadium was everything I imagined it would be and to be honest, a little nicer than I expected. Many people here have had so many complaints about it over the years, I expected it to be very “rustic” It actually felt pretty modern. Although WTF is up with the sound system? You couldn’t hear anything announced or played on scoreboard at all. And when music was played it had a ridiculously loud slap back echo. I’m an audio engineer so It really bugged me. Lol is that normal here?

Great, Thanks! Schwabls was amazing but we will try to hit Charlies on Friday for lunch before our flight home.

That is a great option. But being our first time here, I don’t think 90 minutes will be enough tailgaiting time. we want to see the new stadium and the Pinto Ron spectacle and just soak every bit of it in that we can. Lol

Great, thanks!

Thanks! Just what was looking for. We of course were planning on seeing the whole Pinto Ron experience! I just didn’t know if I could park in Hammers lot or if it was always sold out. If we get to Hammers by 2pm I should get a spot?

Looking for a little guidance for tomorrow. Whats my best path for parking tomorrow for tailgaiting. The parking looks very confusing. I am coming from near the airport. I don’t care at all about traffic getting out. I wanna stay and soak it in as long as possible. Most concerned with cheap and close as possible. Whats the move?

Yes we are! we got a late start today, that time change coming east sucks! we drove all over town today. We saw Canalside, Delaware Park, War Memorial Stadium, Allentown, Elmwood Village (although we got there a little too late. Most shops were closing) we hit Wegmans for some Josh MVP cereal and the new Little People set. Went to Schwabls for Lunch. Amazing Beef on Weck! And we had dinner at Gabriels Gate. Wings were awesome. Would have loved to have gone bar hopping tonight but my kid is only 19. we will come back to see the new stadium when hes 21. Lol trying to control myself because I don’t have a lot money to spend but my collection is growing. Lol

We went there today! Most of the structure is gone but it was still cool to see!

So hungry! https://share.icloud.com/photos/07cH6hQ1jaVwLyjYVXdLkRyiQ

Already planned on hiting Elmwood! we saw Canalside earlier today

We are planning to hit elmwood after we have lunch today. Weather is great today. Feels like home

I’ve literally dreamt of that moment since I was 5! I think I will start crying honestly

Surprised nobody has commented on the SB28 World Champs hat! Thats real!

If any of you spot me, come say hi! my son and I are both 6’5” beanpoles with long hair. I’ll be wearing this sick Nikki Sixx Bills Jersey! https://share.icloud.com/photos/0bciGHsj3BD6K4QHteUFftozw when Motley Crue played at Highmark in ‘22. The Bills made custom jerseys for all the guys in the band. My good friend is their road manager and told me Nikki didn’t care about that stuff so he gave it to me! I think Vince Neal wore his for their encore.

We got in late last night. We really only have today as our free day to see stuff. We plan on tailgaiting all day tomorrow and we leave Friday. Our food targets are Gabriels Gate for Wings, Mr Pizza,and Schwabls for beef on Weck. other than food we are just gonna drive around and soak the place in! I have always gotten the feeling from people I have known from here that this place is very similar to the town I grew up in the midwest. Finally gonna find out today.

Thanks! We were looking for a good beef on Weck place! we got in last night and plan on eating all day today!!

OMG, for years now, when ever people ask why I chose to be a Bills fan I say “because I’m a lifelong glutton for punishment”. Thats funny stuff!

I was there for almost every game from ‘92-‘97. Awesome times!

Shreveport! Nice. I lived in the south a few years in the late 80s and played guitar in a Metal band. We used to play a club there called "the Million Dollar Sandpiper" half rock club, half strip club. Awesome times! ever go there? ' I believe thats the same group that I watched with in Burbank. they moved to Santa Monica after that placed closed. That also was about the same time Sunday Ticket became available so I have just had that and watched at home since about '97

Funny enough, I have bought very little of my massive collection. its mostly 50 years of B-day and X-mas gifts! and a ton of little trinkets gathered along the way. I do have a almost complete Bills card collection from 1960-2000 that I probably spent a bit on. lol

where in Cali? Did you watch games at Bobbi McGees in Burbank in the early 90's?

Its so funny, I have many friends that I have known for over 30 years that even though they have heard my story over and over, still think I'm from Buffalo. I've probably worn something Bills related 8 out of every 10 days my whole life.

I'm sure I will get emotional walking in. Dreamt of it since I was a little kid.
