Pats fans filling the Club Seats again?

[ProcessTruster]

When I had lower bowl season tiks years ago at the beginning of the drought (Bledsoe years), Pats fans would buy from Bills season tickets holders and fill the Club seats.. really bad vibe. 

 

Given the level of data analysis available today, does anyone know if there is a zip code analysis of StubHub/Ticketmaster buyers to see how many NE fans are coming?   I believe there was some analysis available for how many Canadian citizens come.   

 

Really hoping 5,000 club seat and lower bowl season ticket holders did not sell their tickets to those guys for a national home game in prime time.

What difference does it make if you know how many Pats fans will be at the game(and where they will be sitting), ahead of time?  

[GottaRun]

NFL fans like to travel, this is a big game, of course there will be Pats fans there.

[Nextmanup]

Here's a crazy idea: get to your seat and wait for the game to start...then wait another 5 or 10 minutes.

Then look around and see how many Patriots fans are in the building, cheering when NE does something good, or Buffalo does something bad.  

 

You should be able to guesstimate your answer.

This will give an early heads up of whether we are doomed tomorrow night or not.

Man, this board has been straight up unreadable for a few weeks now. You guys have Patriots on the brain.

How so?  At the Jacksonville game there were more Bills than Jags fans and the Bills still lost

This sounds like a pointed message to @teef to not sell his Club Seats to Patriots fans.

Can you blame them?

 

Everyone wants to see America's Team don the red white and blue at home in primetime!

It made a difference for me.  I switched the location of my seats because I used to sit around a lot fans of the visiting team which annoyed me. I'm not sure if they season ticket holders selling their seats or just single game buyers (probably a combo of both).

There are tons of Pats fans here at the Holiday Inn Express at the airport. It's very annoying.

[FilthyBeast]

Won't be surprised if there are at least 25% Pats fans at this game because Buffalo has always been a 2nd home field for the Patriots during the dominant run the last 20 years.

[boater]

Heh. Patriots fans love to travel to a Bills game because they can't afford Foxboro.

 

They get the best of both worlds traveling to Buffalo: cheap tickets, and the fun of a road trip.

 

Expect many of them Monday.

[mead107]

They pay big money 

 

[Success]

I'm not even so sure it's that Pats fans travel well. They're just everywhere now.

 

When I grew up, half the kids in class liked the Cowboys.  There are a ton of NE "fans" in western NY now. They're the new Cowboys.

Usually I would agree with you, but I can see the concern. National game, prime time, puts off a really bad perception if you look in the crowd and see 50/50 fans or anywhere close to it.  

 

The Bills don't need anymore bad perceptions, but to the point I *think* you were making, no it has no outcome on the game.

Exactly. Tickets are down to $43 on Seat Geek.

I don’t care if they’re pats fans in the stands but for gods sake don’t abandon the stadium if things go wrong such a bad look to have those empty seats in the opposing teams fans are the only ones left there
