DuckyBoys Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 No but seems like a extraordinary amount of Bills fans floating around most of Florida 2

If a new customer calls from Houston today, I believe he will be told that they won't sell tickets to him. He's a pilot and actually flew for the Rich Corp years ago, so I think it probably has more to do with that. He never had the tix before he moved to TX. Not that you would've known that. It helps to have connections apparently. I'll have to ask him some day.
JESSEFEFFER Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) My wife and I were in the Charlotte area when the Bills beat the Packers, 12/14/14. We watched the game at Tavern on the Tracks and had a great time. The president of the Bills Backers chapter explained how Erie county was the #1 source of people relocating to Mecklenberg/Union Counties although he said he was from Chautauqua County, specifically Jamestown. Watching all the people there, many with their families, it struck me that staying close to their team amidst a fervent community of fans in exile was their desperate attempt to stay connected with home. It will be interesting to see how they represent in Spartanburg and at the Panthers preseason game. I'll bet the rest of us notice them. As for my location, there are many Browns and Steelers fans in the Jamestown area. I am told that in the 60's the Browns were the featured NFL game most every week and the Steelers great teams of the 70's created a large following. I'd be interested to know the actual breakdown.

All big events have tickets set aside to take care of people when the need arises. It's part if a life that most average people never see. 1

Did you know that the Bills won't sell season tickets to purchasers outside "Bills' territory"? I think they won't sell to anyone who's address is more than 200 miles from Orchard Park, or something like that. If you call and ask for season tickets, they start by asking your zip code. Current season ticket holders are grandfathered. They consider such people competition to the scalpers they have on leash.

I'll take the snow and higher taxes any day... Hartwell Rd... just off Delaware. Lived in NB for about 7 years... grew up out by Darien Lake.
US Egg Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I make a right off my street and a left less than a mile away and go straight 3 miles and there it is, Rich Stadium. (I remember the time when to say to go straight meant road wise.) 1
JMF2006 Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Niagara Falls......slowly I turned step by step inch by inch
RocCityRoller Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) Rochester, so yes, but lived in Eagles and Patriots territory for many years Nearly moved to the Raliegh-Durham area a year ago to stalk our lost Women's soccer team. ? In retrospect after this World Cup it was a good non-move. 21 hours ago, Jeebus said: Grew up just outside of Niagara Falls, but currently live in a town about 2hrs East of Dallas. Mostly cowboy fans here, mixed in with some Texan and Saint fans. I have come across a stray Bills fan every now and then. It's a struggle in my house, my wife and her side of the family are all big time cowboy fans Thanksgiving should be fun with the inlaws Edited July 19, 2019 by RocCityRoller
thunderingsquid Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Doing my best to turn McMinnville, Oregon into Bills Country.
NobesBLO13 Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I live in the city of Buffalo, in the southern district. so maybe.

Carbonpoke Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Nope... I live in Puyallup WA. I grew up in Wyoming. Went to the university from 98-01. I joined the army chemical core. Korea, Fort Bragg, Iraq, Afghanistan, Fort Lewis.... I am now a bills fan, Josh Allen in college was something that I've never seen. I grew up a Vikings fan... Now I pay more attention to this board and the bills wire. Have faith, Josh gets better in year two. 1 1
Captain Murica Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Nope, Long Island. It’s giants and jets country. I’ve met some of the most moronic football fans there is. They can watch the games at home but still flood bars to watch the game. I have to show up 30-40 minutes earlier to grab some seats for my friends who are Bills fans as well.

It's a new decision post pegula to not sell seasons to out of towners Ralph was cool with it. It's only about 2-3 years old 1
NickelCity Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 I live in Seattle. Was born in buffalo. I've run into a few bills fans and shop owners amidst all the Seahawks fans. The latter get way too bad a rap. They're solid fans.

Pirate Angel Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Im just south of Knoxville TN, definitely a Bills fan deprived area, actually it's an NFL fan deprived area. The locals usually can't name 5 teams outside of the SEC
