🚨 Ideas wanted for potential Bills event. Compensation if your idea is used!

[NoHuddleKelly12]

Charity softball game players v coaches, and/or an old school pass punt and kick competition with raffle winners getting to go head to head against a player who doesn’t kick or pass as his day job either 🤗.

Free form jam session with players, coaches and fans. Rent out a bass, keys, drums, guitar and mic and throw a concert. Or an improv night with players/coaches. Always cool to see athletes show off hidden talents in music/story telling. Good luck with the event!

Pass OJ’s glove around and see who they fit

Cornhole always sounds weird to me... don't look it up. Maybe a Beane bag tourney instead with winners getting a chance to play a round of golf with a Bill/former Bill.

So, are you saying we can NOT find our new punter this way? I’d like an open competition and all options available!

can you imagine the let’s go Brandon shouts at a beane bag tourney?

Idea 1

Have a round table with the players and have them play two truths and a lie, with the players guessing each others lie, most right wins... will be a fun thing for fans to watch the players interact with each other and tell the fans some interesting info about themselves. 

 

Idea 2

Have a cooking competition for the best tailgate chefs, judged by a panel of players. 

[T&C]

Auction off their mothers for charity.

Have the players compete against fans in game stations…basketball free throws, hockey net with targets, putting green etc.

I love it when lazy people ask other people to do their job for them…. 

[NoSaint]

Get a big white board and let players and fans brainstorm ideas for future fun events together

Jokes aside, I’m surprised to see someone crowdsourcing their marketing job is getting left at the top of the football talk board for so long

"Buffalo Raw" or "Buffalo Unfiltered". Out of the ~20 Buffalo players attending the event, ask for 3-4 volunteers to setup a discussion panel. The players could share stories that will "humanize" them and help build emotional connection to the fan base.

Sample sample topics/questions to get us started:
- What was the lowest point of your career and/or personal life?

- What is the biggest obstacle you've had to overcome to reach the success you now enjoy?

- What intentional steps do you take to support your mental health?
- Who has had the biggest influence on your as a human being and/or athlete? 

- What is one unknown/not well known unique fact about yourself?
- What was the biggest difference between your expectations Day 1 Rookie versus the reality of being in the NFL?

- What is your favorite & least favorite part of being an NFL player?
- How many buffalo wings can you eat? (at earlier poster mentioned a wing eating contest... might be an opportunity to cross promote here and get a little panel smack talk going)

Bates has gotten 35 pages by basically doing the same thing....

Instead of “Ice Bucket Challenge” do a “Hot Water Challenge” where the water temperature increases by 5 degrees every challenger. Whoever douses themselves with the hottest water wins a free Labatts Blue coaster. Players and fans would clamor for the title.

Could do like a habitat for humanity type of thing but instead of building a house, could start the new stadium 

[Solomon Grundy]

Hook up with Isaiah McKenzie, have him sponsor a Lil Dirty BBQ cookoff with former and present players and significant others maning the grills. Fans choose the winners

If Marshawn Lynch and Trent Edwards come, they will fight for Dave and Buster’s.

Musical bingo.  Clips of songs that contestants have to recognize to mark off their cards.  You can do rounds with different kinds of music.  Bills players can compete with, for or against fans for prizes.  I like the idea of “with” or “for” fans rather than against them. 

[El_diablo]

Have a fan appreciation day at the stadium.  Add Bills mafia to the Wall of fame.
