So it's not like the other option you have is cheaper. I lived a 10 minute drive away from Giants Stadium for the first 28 years of my life and I have only been to less than 10 football games half of them being preseason games. This year should be real bargain!? 1

He's one of the favorites of admin, so he can say whatever he wants without criticism from the old timers. I've noticed this. It is quite off-putting that some favored posters can troll and personally attack others and not get warned/banned. There are a few that do it to virtually every newcomer. 1

Not even mentioning the ‘cost of one’s soul’... Edited August 28, 2019 by Ridgewaycynic2013 1
CLTbills Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Heck no. I moved 12 hours away to where I can't go to a game without flying. And I haven't been to a home game in basically nine years now. Hasn't changed one damn thing for me.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) my commute would be 8 hours one way and every time I want to go to a game shite happens and I have to bail. and yes cost is a big factor in taking the trek north. Edited August 28, 2019 by ShadyBillsFan
JK Fan Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Never, I drive 3 hours each way to attend Bills games. I have had season tickets for 16 years and attend 5-7 home games a year.

And here I thought it had something to do with crossing state lines. ? ’Coat’ because the stadium is north? Or did you mean ‘cost’? Either could be a valid reason. ?

Big Turk Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) Hell no. Too expensive?? Pay $15 for IPTV and watch the games from wherever you want. Edited August 28, 2019 by matter2003
dubs Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 10 hours ago, Gugny said: This is more directed toward fans who have to drive a long way to attend a game. I drive over 5 hours to get to Orchard Park. With the ticket prices and the tailgating options, I don't mind one bit. I only go to one home game/year. But it's expensive. One home game costs me a total of about $700 when it's all said and done with tickets (2), lodging, tailgate food/beer, etc. When the Bills build their new stadium downtown and jack the prices up ... AND make the tailgating experience one that dictates you eat their food and drink their beer at their prices .... I won't go anymore. I live an hour north of Albany, NY. A 3.5 hour (tops) drive to the Meadowlands/MetLife. Part of me thinks that, if the Bills price me out, I'd just latch onto a team that's closer to me. I've always said that if I lived 2 hours closer to Buffalo, I'd be a season ticket holder. I could do that with one of the New Jersey teams and be able to afford going to games. Anyone else giving this any thought? I hate the thought of being gouged out of my fandom, but it looks like it's heading in that direction. I get how higher prices could impact whether or not you could go to game, but why would it make you want to switch teams? Jets/Giants would still be more expensive in order of magnitudes than anything the Bills do to prices.

Gugny, are you from WNY area - or latched on to Bills some other way? @Gugny claims he is from Upstate but he sounds like a downstater. He counts everything to the penny and is damn proud of it. I will take lodging off the table and he can stay with me. I will shop at Tops too before he arrives. He will love it! Oh... Bye Felicia! I mean Felixia...
