I created a guide to a great Bills weekend. Whether you're coming with friends or your significant other. This should be helpful. Give me a shout if you have questions.
I'd post the whole thing here, but I'm limited on pics. There's a lot more pictures and info here:

So you want to come to Buffalo for a Bills Game? Good Choice!
There’s one neighboring town has everything you need
Nice Hotels
Great Restaurants
Multiple Watering Holes
Lots of things to do
The Best Wings in Buffalo
A Grocery Store
and a Mighty Taco
And that is East Aurora, NY.
East Aurora was the first home of the Buffalo Bills as it hosted the Bills Training Camps from 1960-1963.
The Bills Locker Rooms were at what is now the East Aurora Middle School on Main Street and the team had to keep at least one football player on the roster that also knew how to drive a school bus, so he could haul the team to Knox Farm and back every day. True Story.
And to this day, East Aurora remains the classic small American Town–full of interesting shops, bars, and restaurants.
Where to stay:
East Aurora has 2 very nice hotels:
The Hampton Inn by Hilton. Clean, friendly, efficient, and affordably priced:
You can book a room or get more info here.
The Roycroft Inn:
The Roycroft Inn was once the Centerpiece of the Roycroft Arts & Crafts Movement led by Elbert Hubbard. Some even say it is haunted. I’ve heard some stories and I kind of believe them–so if you’re bringing your significant other and looking for a historic, beautiful, quirky hotel–go for it!
