Just to put this in perspective, if I could commute a mere 3 hours each way every week to see the Bills play, I'd be in heaven. As it is, I have season tickets but can only commute in 2x a year to actually attend. As tough as it admittedly is to be a Bills fan, and supporter, and investor, I'm convinced that many locals take for granted what a treasure it is to have an NFL team in their tiny burgh. It pains me to see that we may be the first non-sellout in the NFL this year.
I'd venture to say that a good percentage of fan bases of teams in big cities (who pay far more for tickets than we do, BTW) come from the suburbs to watch their teams, and commute at least two hours each way. Is that significantly different from commuting in to the Ralph from Syracuse?
My point is, if you are able-bodied, not destitute, live within 3 hours of the Ralph and do not attend even one game this year, in my book you are a casual follower and not a fan. I think many forget that "fan" is short for fanatic".
