eball Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I've been to a Super Bowl and I honestly believe I'd enjoy a Bills win more watching it will fellow Bills fans in Buffalo than at the game. I'd like to watch it with my dad, but unfortunately that won't be possible.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) I see them needing to bring in reinforcement from another city, because the cops are gonna wanna party too. Maybe the National Guard? Also, I don't think I'd drink during the game. At all. I want it to be a moment I'll fully remember forever. Edited April 8, 2015 by The Real Buffalo Joe
rayray808 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 no big Super Bowl party for me... I would want to watch the game with my wife and daughter and have my favorite foods ready to roll (wings, steak, poke)... I donʻt want anyone to see my cry except them (happy or sad tears)
Kelly the Dog Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I just wouldn't want to be there. The stadium would be 20% Bills fans, 20% NFC team, 40% Fans of other teams, and 20% people who aren't even football fans. That was not at all the way it was for the other four. It's a little more corporate these days but I'm pretty sure Bills fans would find ways to gobble up a large portion of the tickets.
section122 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I have thought many times about this. I told my friends for years that I would be there no matter what but I have softened on that. If the Bills win I will be crying like a baby no doubt about it. I don't know if I want that to happen in public lol. I will likely throw a big party locally. I will be at the parade no matter what if they win. The heartbreak if they lose though....
boyst Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Great topic. I think I would want to be alone for it. Probably with TBD open to see responses from other Bills fans, or pertinent information on plays etc. But, like most football I watch, I want to do it alone so I can engulf myself in every aspect of it. I think I would shell out money for a high def big screen if they made the Super Bowl.

We go to the Superbowl and lose? Okay...been there; done that. We've lost in spectacular fashion, and we survived. We know how it feels, and we know for a fact we'll come back from it. We've done it four times already. The only "what if?" that exists for me, is "what if we win?"
Beerball Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 In a skid row motel with some hookers and blow so, for you just another Sunday?
RyanC883 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 January, 2016 I'll be there with my cousin who is also a die-hard Bills fan. My son is still too young, but in 3 years when we win 3 straight should be old enough to take
Rivermont Mike Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I want to watch it with my three boys. They've been wearing Bills gear since they were infants. The oldest (fourth grade) now looks forward to hitting the place we go for the Bills Backers of Lynchburg, Virginia gatherings (Stoney Badger Tavern). His two younger brothers are starting to catch on. BTW, did any of you guys go to Home Depot to get the 2x6s to reinforce the bandwagon? It's already starting to sag under the additional weight.
mike6683 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I am from CT and have had season tix for going on 7 years. My friends ask me often if I would go to the Superbowl if the Bills got there and I won the lottery to get tix.. My answer is I have no interest in going to the Superbowl to watch the game with a bunch of rich corporate douches. I would take a long weekend trip up to Buffalo with some of my friends from down here and watch the game at bar in Buffalo with real fans. The celebration when we win will be epic and way more fun in Buffalo than at the game .
Luxy312 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 If the Bills go to the Superbowl, I'm likely watching it at Lincoln Station here in Chicago. That place is 100% a Bills backer bar. Every regular season game there has a playoff atmosphere, so I can't imagine what the playoffs would be like, much less the big dance.
rockpile Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 who do you want to be with you, and where will you be watching? Personally, I'll do everything I can to be there in person with my son. I think I have a shot to be able to do that, but if I can't, I want to be home with my wife, kids and Mom. It will be quite the celebration when we win. How about you? My friends and family, and I will be in a casket.

The only "what if?" that exists for me, is "what if we win?" I was young for the losses about 9 when the first one happened. Then with these last 15 years... Here is an example of my sports fandom: Game 7 Lakers - Celtics. I'm a big Lakers fan (Magic Johnson was my childhood hero). Friends were getting together and invited me over. I couldn't do it. I watched the game in isolation by myself. When they won I joined my friends. If they had lost? I would have shut the tv off and stayed home alone lol. That is with a team I have rooted for just as long, watched win multiple championships, and in the grand scheme of fandom care less about that the Bills. I will be an absolute wreck the entire time leading up to the game, during the game, and after the game. The only thing that will change win or lose is euphoria or crushing depression lol. Either way I will not be at work the Monday following. If they win like I said I will be at that parade!
CountDorkula Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps, is that weird?
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps, is that weird? Nah. Happens to me all the time.

That's a great point and it's exactly how I respond to anybody who talks sh*t to me about the Bills. I'm like, "Do you think there's any thing you could possibly say to hurt my feelings? Do you have any idea what we've been through as a fanbase?" One point nail biter, complete blowout, we've seen it all and then some.
WotAGuy Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) so, for you just another Sunday?Exactly. I mean, why switch it up now? Actually, I went to the last SB in Atlanta and had a great time despite the loss. Ended up being interviewed on CNN when we arrived back in Buffalo. Was involved in a class action lawsuit against Small World Travel because they didn't provide the tickets as part of the charter excursion. We ended up scalping them off some car dealers that got them as an incentive. Paid $1,000 for each ticket - all in $20s. I'd love to go again - but it will be pricey. Edited April 8, 2015 by WotAGuy
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I'll be in my senior living housing pod relaxing on my hover couch with as many friends and family as I can fit in front of my holographic TV. Go Pegulaville bills!
