Even that's cutting it close for the home opener. My rule of thumb is just like at the airport--two hours if you think it will be crazy crowded, 90 minutes if not. In today's world, nobody can walk up to a gate an hour before the event and expect it to be an easy entry...

And thy was when a friend was trying to stay in the lots until 1230 at the opener. And yes, we missed about 5 minutes of the game because of it. But that is our own faults. Yea this mirror's my experience. The opener is always a mad house even in the worst years, but if you leave by 12:15 your generally fine then and any other game its no issue. Back in the dark ages (2009-2011) I remember we would tailgate until 12:45-12:50 and usually miss a few minuets early in the season and by the end of the season you waltzed through. Overall I have thought the fans experience has improved tenfold since I regularly started going 10 years ago. The concessions and beer lines typically are not bad, bathrooms have been improved, and getting in to the game hasn't been as bad. 1

I'm sure the Bills read & considered my comment, yet on it blares. I'm with you. I f'n hate that G-D thing....

About 2 minutes after halftime started, my buddy and I walked up the tunnel to hit the head. Then we got in line for some more waters and diet cokes. With about a dozen or so people in front of us. We still made it back before the 2nd half started. 2 minutes ago, Lurker said: I'm with you. I f'n hate that G-D thing.... And I love it too. So that evens it out again. Go Trainhorn!!! 1
