The Dean Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I'm seriously jealous. If I hadn't just spent all my available cash on moving I'd join y'all in a heartbeat.

(OK, You’ll probably be safe for a while, but we will eventually be relentless!) Ranch has no place with anything. It's simply slightly flavored mayonnaise. Yeech. Besides neither blue cheese nor ranch belong on the wings. The blue cheese is for the crudites.

And my one contribution to those lucky enough to be there: ALWAYS ask for your wings to be "extra crispy". Never just expect them to be served properly cooked, especially outside of WNY. I also make it a point to order my pizza "Well done. Crispy." Then when it comes out soggy I have a legitimate complaint. Sorry I don't have more interesting advice. To those going, Salute! ?
Speedy Beebe Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) This is likely a stupid question but I’ve never tailgated with people that I don’t know. How does this work just show up and say Go Bills? I’m taking my 12 year old daughter and want to show her a good time, it’s her first Bills game Edited January 3, 2020 by Speedy Beebe 1

One in Jacksonville 2 years ago for the playoff game. I wil say that everyone will be happy to let you tailgate with them, buttt....you will quickly find that there are a few that you will not want your child around. Other than that you will be fine. Just show up and have a good time. 2

Just show up and have a good time. That makes me a little sad. But based on my experience over the years I can attest if you find a Biils tailgate you will likely to be welcome. I typically bring alcohol to share, if I'm not at my own tailgate. You'll find they are usually happy to share their food and appreciate any sincere contribution. It goes without saying, be moderate in what you take and how you behave.

A local news station "investigated" and seemed to arrive at a conclusion that the team believes a closed roof contributes to crowd noise and creates more of a home field advantage. The article I read (dated November 2019) lists the various NFL stadiums with retractable roofs and notes they are open a considerable amount of the time. Way to go, Texans. Get the taxpayers to pony up big time for a fancy retractable roof and then keep it closed because you don't think your crowd is loud enough. $300-400 million wasted IMO.

I thought Congress smacked down Ticketmaster for gouging once? That’s actually not too bad, or at least, better than I expected (despite being almost 50%). Again, I hope Bills fans jump on this in droves. Real life stuff took it of the menu for me. . Edited January 3, 2020 by Augie

There is no limit to the number of walk ins at the tailgate that I am aware of. There are limited surface parking spots at the main lot and an adjoining garage that can handle 800 cars I've been told. The lot owner also owns other nearby lots and guaranteed us he can handle all excess if the main lot is filled.

thronethinker Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Ticket prices have been there, its the airfare that is killer. I'm looking at $1000 round-trip for one seat from Orlando. If I was younger and didn't have a family I would have just drove the 14 hours Houston, but unfortunately I can't do that these days. I want to be there, but I know The Mafia will represent us well.. 1
eball Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 If ticket prices are really falling that bodes well for the Buffalo fan turnout. The locals aren't sold on their team. Let's take this house over! 1

Anyone wearing a Losman jersey is probably just there to get drunk and in trouble. 1 hour ago, thronethinker said: Ticket prices have been there, its the airfare that is killer.
