BruceVilanch Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Making my first trip to watch a home game in Buffalo! I've told myself I wouldn't make the trip/ spend the $ until I thought they were a legit playoff team and this is the year I'm pulling the trigger. I will be there for the Nov 3rd game vs the Redskins, can't wait to make my pilgrimage and enjoy a game with the best fans in the NFL. Go Bills! 14 7 6

Dopey Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Note: tables are for eating off of, not jumping onto. Don't let them talk you into it. 3 5
BillsFanSD Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 My son and I made the pilgrimage a few years ago for the home opener against the Colts. (Wrecks' first season). We had a great time. Have fun!
Helpmenow Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Maybe the white stuff will be there for the California guy, lol 1

Mrbojanglezs Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 November can be tricky, may be mild (50s), may be cold (30-40s) and rainy so you are going to want to be prepared for either scenario. I see your from Cali so make sure your feet and hands are warm, wool socks or ski socks and a pair of boots and definitely gloves and a hat. Under armor cold gear is a good base layer. 1
Billsatlastin2018 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Parking Note to OP: For over a generation, I’ve parked on Sheldon Road, near Abbott. I use the lots in front of the two Condos, but there are many alternates. It is a max 10 minute walk to the Stadium along the main drag- Abbott Road (which for security reasons you can’t drive all the way through, anyway.) You are surrounded by Bills’ tailgaters and Booze is close by at the corner, if you didn’t get it and Coffee at the Tim Horton’s 20 yards away- post game! Also, waaaaaay easier to get in and out. Oh yeah... ALWAYS dress for Cold from October on- no matter what the Temp says. This is an outdoor stadium, with cold wind. ? Edited October 10, 2019 by Billsatlastin2018

It is truly an experience like no other. I haven't been back since I moved to Charlotte 9 years ago... but am just waiting for my little one to be old enough to make the trip back. I miss it so much!

Way back when, I used to park at Kettle's pub on Abbott Rd. It always seemed pretty easy to get in and out. Close enough to the Stadium that it's not a bad walk, but far enough away that traffic isn't awful. It was fun, but you didn't have the outrageous drunkenness there. Easy access to both Abbott and/or California Rd. Edited October 10, 2019 by CLTbills

billsfan_34 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 You picked a very winnable game and a great time of the year to come on up. I hope you have a great experience- which you should!!!!

hondo in seattle Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I'm jealous! As a guy who hasn't been to a home game since 1974 - and clearly an expert - here's what I do: * Go to Hammer's Lot to see all the Pinto Ron and other shenanigans. * As long as your in Buffalo, get the true Buffalo culinary experience. Eat wings at the Anchor Bar (even if Duffs are better); sample a Beef on Weck at Charlie the Butcher; and try some good Buffalo Pizza (pizza aficionados rank Buffalo's pizza up there with NY & Chicago and miles ahead of LA). If you like sponge candy, go to Parkside Candy near UB - a beautiful, dilapidated relic of great Buffalo architecture with a wonderful selection of chocolate. * I personally stop at the gift shop at New Era Field to gear up whenever I'm in Buffalo. Hoping we win for your first home game. Have fun!

otagoyellow Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 If you're seeking wings, definitely hit up The Nine-Eleven Tavern if you get the chance. The owner has been making the wings personally for more than 35 years and they're phenomenal. Anchor Bar can be hit or miss in terms of quality, but the atmosphere is worth a trip. The original Duffs on Sheridan is also a sure bet. 2
