DreReed83 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I've been to 6 Bills games all in Giants Stadium, but this November, I'm going to my first ever Bills home game at the Ralph. Anything i should expect or be prepared for? How's the weather been mid-November the last year or 2? Any input would be badazz.
Dr. Trooth Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Anything i should expect or be prepared for? A horrendous Bills peformance. I hope you didn't pay for the tickets.
lets_go_bills Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 It'll be cold. Tailgating is ALWAYS a good time. I always have fun. Yeah the Bills stink right now but the Gameday experience as a whole is awesome. I love it.
DreReed83 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 A horrendous Bills peformance. I hope you didn't pay for the tickets. I'm already expecting a loss but I don't care. I'm going for the experience... Nope. Just did your mom some cheap favors and she gave me them for free. Happy?

Unfortunately for you, you'll either see a half empty stadium (maybe 3/4 empty by then), or you'll want to puke because there will be about 40,000 Steeler fans for the last game in November. Sorry for you that you'll see the Ralph for the first time during this miserable season.
Ray Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 You may be the only one there. Atmosphere will be horrible. Hope it does not sour you on the great game day experience it can be....it's like a college atmosphere, crazy people, rabid fan base but all of that has pretty much been erased this year. Only 58k yesterday with a winnable game, 70 degrees and sunny. Absolutely beautiful and the team has destroyed the will of the fan base for the most part. I would not be surprised if only 30k people show up at that time...mid- November they could be 0-8
marauderswr80 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 years ago.....Novemeber 17th against seattle not a cloud in the sky 72 degrees talk about luck!! I was able to go to the game yesterday, I always have a good time.

CodeMonkey Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Yea can't wait to hit the tailgates. When do you guys usually start? The stadium parking lots open at 8 (or is it 9 now?) and close 2 hours after the game ends. The red pinto (lot 1) "ketchup ceremony" is usually at 11:15 I believe. Hopefully you are going to the Lions game. The Steelers game will be a sea of black and gold and not as much fun for a Bills fan. Edited October 11, 2010 by CodeMonkey

My dreams always been to go to a Bills home game. I'm expecting the worst...trust me. The stadium parking lots open at 8 (or is it 9 now?) and close 2 hours after the game ends.

Don't think that's how it always is going to be

Don't think that's how it always is going to be Won't be a poor one. Experience is what I'm looking forward to and I'm going to have a blast no matter what. I was at the game in December of 08 at Giants Stadium where Losman bootlegged fumbled our win away to Shaun Ellis and Jets ran it back for a TD. Yea, with all the Jets fan yelling J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS, wasn't all that pleasing either. I'll be fine.
DreReed83 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 2 more questions. Does anybody have any recommendations to any hotels near the Ralph? Or maybe somewhere halfway between the Ralph and Niagara Falls? We plan on going to Niagara Falls and the Anchor Bar on Saturday and the game on Sunday. Also, how's the parking experience at the Ralph? Are there limited parking spots? Any input/advice would be helpful.

Hotels near the Ralph Parking : Hammers Lot Tailgate: Lot 1 Pole 5 Parking shouldn't be an issue, I've never had a problem getting a spot in the lots.

Steelers will be rolling and the Bills will be deader than dead. Bills fans will sell their tickets to Pittsburgers ... bring your terrible towel..
Bill from NYC Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Nope. Just did your mom some cheap favors and she gave me them for free. Happy? It would be great if you would refrain from insulting the family members of other posters.

yall Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 So many better places for wings though. Unless you are going to the Anchor to say you've been there, go somewhere else. Mamosers, Barbill, etc.
