I am at Courtyard Marriott on Butler Blvd, wherever that is. I recommend Dave & Busters. Courtyard Marriott is either where the Bills will stay or right near there, a block from D&B’s.

I wish we could go the game, but none of the people in my group can afford the tickets. But if there is a spot in Jacksonville that will be just as electric we will definitely go there. 21 minutes ago, BuffaloSol said: We have 5 or 6 of us doing the same thing from around the country, we decided Buffalo only after the tix hit 400 for nose bleeds. Let me know if there's a watch party you hear about. We were hoping the stadium would have a watch party with the ability to tailgates, you know new era would be full! I'll definitely let you know. I have been looking on BillsMafia for more info.

Jacksonville Invasion Saturday Night Party (7pm - close) Wing It11018 Old St Augustine Rd Jacksonville, FL **Same game day menu and beer specials*** Sunday Tailgate (9am) LOT X (Cash/Parking Pass Lot) Bring your own food and drink of choice.

Show some Buffalove to our out of town Bills Fans and let them use your grills

Reks Ryan Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Just got 2 tix. Expensive with the fees. But I only have a 5 hour drive from South Fla. and the Bills are 2 and 0 in games that I attended this year. Cant miss it. Getting to town late Saturday. Besides Wing It, what are some other options where Bills Fans are congregating Saturday night?

Besides Wing It, what are some other options where Bills Fans are congregating Saturday night? I sucked it up and spent WAY too much for tickets, but what the hell, I've been waiting for 17 years for this! I will be heading to Wing It too but have a feeling it may be too crowded. We need to figure out a way to coordinate with each other on where to go.

xRUSHx Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) I am seeing that Bills mafia is filling up fast for wing it/bar Sat.night. Was told it is a hole in the ground bar that only holds about 150 people but are working on taking over the entire parking lot that is suppose to be very big . I bet thousands show up for a huge tailgate. Thinking our group might just skip and hit up sneakers at jax beach but that party sounds awsom on old st.aug rd. Edited January 2, 2018 by xRUSHx

DrDawkinstein Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Ok, just booked a block of rooms for our group at the LaQuinta, so that's where I'll be passed out at some point Saturday night
Tatonka68 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Got my tix, going to join probably 20,000 of Bills Mafia

Well, while the Bills haven’t shared with me their travel plans, I’m positive. All visiting teams stay here. Jag Home Game Sunday mornings are great in my ‘hood! 6 motorcycle cops lead team busses-including families from this secluded area around 9:00 am, to the stadium. After the game, they roll straight to the airport. My ‘hood has plenty of yankees who’ve moved south, so we’re always ‘reppin’ when our teams parade by! Some teams, (Philly, NYJ & G, etc.) have their own busses w/ team colors. Others just rent high end travel busses. We’re off the beaten path, but right next to I-95. Ideal for celebs/Entertainers to stay at. It’s primarily why they put the Dave & Busters here.

Having the Bills at the same hotel will definitely be an added bonus to this trip! Let us know if you have any other local information to share regarding where to go while we are in town, etc...

Well, there’s the Jax Bills Backers Party (addressed in another thread), ‘the Landing’ downtown will be rocking that night (it’s the place TV always shows after commercials -like Niagara Falls for the Bills games). But it’s a bit of a drive and parking will be scarce. If you’re flying in & out and renting a car/Uber, just staying in the ‘hood, partying with many Bills fans at the hotels, D&B’s and possibly the Bills will make it a memorable evening. I don’t know how McD rules Away Games protocol, but probably other great Bills of yore will be around. Go Bills!

I called the bar and I am guessing they will reach capacity VERY quickly with only room for 150 people. You are starting to sway me towards D&B now but let me know if any other Bills Backer parties pop up in the meantime. (please) I am driving in from Atlanta so I will have a car and I am familiar with the Landing, but I would rather hang with Bills fans if at all possible.

If I see more ‘Bills things’ happening, I’ll post them. My daughter is coming up from Boca Raton for the game, so we’ll probably stay near home -which is where MUCH will be happening. Look for me wearing this. 1
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I will definitely seek you out Chandler, thanks! Not sure what I am wearing yet.
