Thanks to @Royale with Cheese @Augie @Boyst62 and the other 30k fans! You can’t leave out @plenzmd1, because he had half of that 30k staying at his Airbnb! 1

For those there, how was the tailgate situation? we were talking yesterday, i never saw a parking lot! On 10/7/2019 at 9:40 AM, PromoTheRobot said: Here's a question for fans who went to Nashville. How did you like the tailgating in a downtown setting? That could be the Bills future. its different for sure. Have been to a few games now where we pre gamed at at a bar...sure as hell is way easier, but you do miss something. We were kinda late getting to the bars..ate at the airbnb and had a few there. Long winded way of saying not better, not worse, just different 2

How did you like the tailgating in a downtown setting? That could be the Bills future. As others mentioned, it's definitely easier. There was no real tailgating. Maybe a few Tenn fans in their season ticket holder lot, with small setups. And a couple of large corporate tents. So there is no "real" tailgating, if that is what you want. But Nashville has it setup so getting in and out of the stadium pushes you through the Broadway bar strip. Didnt have to pack a cooler, didnt have to pack a grill, didnt have to pack supplies, didnt have to go grocery shopping the day before to stock up, didnt have to get out early just to get the fire going, didnt have to start cleaning up and packing up to make the game. Just got in an uber and went to the bars for a couple hours, then walked to the stadium. Oh, it rained the entire morning (9-11am), but we didnt notice because we were in the bars. It let up right as we left for the stadium, so no being wet or trapped in rain gear for the whole day. I come from a line of intense tailgaters, some of my dad's parties were legendary, but this was so easy and all the BS is left to someone else. You can still meet up with friends and have the pre-game camaraderie. I could get used to it. Edited October 8, 2019 by DrDawkinstein 4

Tailgating, I would have just bought a $15.00 12-pack.

DrDawkinstein Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 7 minutes ago, Gugny said: So, in other words, tailgating will be replaced with pre-game bar hopping? Pretty much, yes. But more so: post-game bar hopping, because everyone funneled back over that bridge and right into the strip. Big money for those bars and restaurants. Big tax revenue for the area. 1

The tailgate is a better experience than the game itself. I enjoy reaching into a cooler and grabbing a beer whenever I want to. I don't much enjoy having to wait for a bartender to finally come my way, then having to pay them every time I want a beer. I also enjoy all of the great food options at tailgates. Food that's made by fellow fans. So .. .yeah ... I guess I do got a problem with it, mijo. 1 2 1
