Had a really great experience down there. It was my girlfriend and my nephew and his wife. We entered Gate 2 as soon as it opened and went right down to the field. I was surprised we didn't have any escort - just some staff keeping people moving out of off-limits areas. Was second in line in the scoreboard end zone, watching Bills warm up. Got great photos and saw some really nice gestures by Aaron Williams, Mike Williams, Leodis and CJ to make special efforts to give kids a chance to have a photo, or to get a glove or football. That was really great to see - the kids' looks were priceless.
One funny thing that stood out - Aaron Williams was out there very early and there was a 20-something girl in the end zone seats with a big pink heart sign for #23. After a few minutes he went over to her and said something, then asked her for her marker. He took off both shoes and proceeded to sign them both. The girl was so excited with anticipation, standing with her hand over her mouth like she couldn't believe what was happening. Then Williams gave her back her pen, picked up his shoes and walked away, threw a glove to a kid standing on the field and ran off the field. The girl was left standing there with her mouth hanging open, dumbfounded.....for a full minute. If it wasn't so sad for her, it would have been pretty funny. OK, it WAS pretty funny. Kind of like a "Punk'd" show.
