NextYearGuys Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 So who's going to Oakland to watch our Bills continue their quest to end the 14 year playoff drought? Also does anyone know where the Bills are staying? Oh and where are you all tailgating?! Go Bills
BUFFALOKIE Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Only if you change your name. Otherwise, why bother?
TC in St. Louis Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'd feel safer standing in front of a mirror in Cabrini Green and saying Candyman three times.
sfbillsfan Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 The Coliseum is not a nice place to watch the out of town team, especially wearing Bills jerseys. I know folks who work for the concession companies & hear awful stories of the visiting fans having an awful time there. Me, I'm hoping t's a sell out & I can watch it on tv. Remember, the Raiderz have tarped off the highest upper deck to make it easier to show the "sell out".

Remember, the Raiderz have tarped off the highest upper deck to make it easier to show the "sell out". Pittsburg isn't hospitable either. My son had problems down there when he was in grad school there. As a season ticket holder at the Ralph, I always try to go out of my way to be nice to the visiting fans. Had two Green Bay fans next to me last weekend (who were from NF Ontario btw), and had good conversation with them. Buffalo is the city of good neighbors and we should act that way!!!
MattM Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Barring some stuff coming up at work, I'll be there visiting my Bay Area in-laws, who happen to be Raiders fans, This will be my 3rd Raiders-Bills game there and never had a problem wearing Bills gear the first two times. Of course, we got pounded both of those games, which may have helped keep the locals in good spirits, so I'm kind of hoping they're not so nice this time, Will be tailgating in my bro-in-law's new RV, but may try to find the Bills tailgate, too.....
Mr Info Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Already here with my family visiting some extended family & enjoying the Bay Area. Got 6 tix from MarkVader for us & a couple of other Bay Area family for the Bills tailgate and game. Looking forward to making Bills fans from the two Bay Area family joining us.

Remember, the Raiderz have tarped off the highest upper deck to make it easier to show the "sell out". You sir are deadly correct on your observation. All NFL home stadiums have issues with fans. Some Are way better than others. Sadly, I have seen Bills fan at times rank up their with the worst. But not even remotely Oakland bad. That Chit hole is easily the worst in the league. Wearing Bills gear can be dangerous to ones health no matter what the fans age is. We have been to every Bills/Raiders game at the coliseum for a long time. expect trouble with legions of drunken goons Especially outside in the lots if you decide to tailgatemwith Bills gear. You risk serious and violent threats out there. Wearing Bills jerseys should be worn in the 31 more civilized stadiums. Unless conflict is something one likes. The atmosphere is horrid but seeing the Bills on the road sometimes requires sacrifice. In Oakland especially.
BaaadThingsMan Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) I'm local. Due to the stadium situation this could possibly be the last Raiders game ever at the coliseum. I choose not to subject myself to that environment since there's really no telling what could happen. I've gone every year The Bills are in town be it Raiders or 49ers and there's always drama, luckily I've never been directly involved, i'm getting too old for that crap anymore.

The game is a sellout so I'm going to pass on the long drive from the Sacramento area and the crazy Raiders fans and watch from the comfort of my man cave
Mark Vader Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'll be there, of course. The tailgate is going to be great. A lot of Bills fans will be there. It will be a great time.
FluffHead Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'll be there, of course. The tailgate is going to be great. A lot of Bills fans will be there. It will be a great time. I hope you bring your lightsaber and may the force be with you
Meark Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Just bought my tickets! I lived in San Diego for 20 years and went to every Bills game. Recently move to San Jose. Was always harassed to no end in San Diego.. Thought the Charger fans were pretty awful. Even at the Raiders Chargers games the Charger fans seemed worse than the Raider fans.. Guess I'll find out Sunday. Not planning on wearing Bills gear though. Going with my wife and don't need the headaches.
johnwalter Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'll be there! Still undecided between blue & red vs. neutral colors. It's hard out here.
Whack 'Em Williams Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 What is the local trademark food for this area?
UB2SF Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I'll be there. My 16-year-old daughter will be with me, so we'll be wearing neutral colors, mainly to spare her the venomous abuse we'd likely get if we wore our Bills gear. I'll be at the 50 yard line behind the Bills bench! Truth be told, though, I bought these tickets last month because I figured the game would be blacked out here in the Bay Area. Now that it's a sellout and will be on TV, I have mixed feelings about going. Been to several Bills games there and it's definitely the least enjoyable place to see professional sports when rooting for the opposing team. Hope to see some of you guys there...
johnwalter Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) What is the local trademark food for this area? Oakland isn't really like that. But if you're from east of the Mississippi I'd get Asian food and Mexican food in SF. Edited December 19, 2014 by johnwalter
Clippers of Nfl Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I couldnt go and not be myself. Not get loud and crazy when the bills are doing good. To shy down a little, Id rather not even go. I go to all the san diego/bills games. You know those crazy dancers that dont sit down at all almost the entire concert, that's in my blood. I have been to many many many concerts and I see some people just sit down and barely even clap for the event. Like why are they even there.... Anyway carry on. I want to go, but not if I have to tone down. I've seen bills games in Arizona, Miami, San diego. I could get wild there, no problem.
