wjag Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Park down stream of the main ECC/stadium lots. If they let out ahead of you from your parking spot, you will sit a while. Make sure you choose a lot that allows you to make a right turn into the direction you are going. I would stay clear of the stadium lots. 2 Quote

If you do this well, it could take a while so having an extra flask is helpful during this step. Step 2: Stop for a shot and a beer at the Big Tree and then another at Danny's. Step 3: Head to your car and start cracking postgame celebratory beers. Do not hurry with this step; continue this until security insists you leave. Step 4: IMPORTANT: When security insists you leave, DO NOT LEAVE. Say you're leaving and when they move away, crack a few more beers until they come back. Step 5: To avoid potential delays (i.e. arrest, towing, etc) agree to leave the SECOND time that security comes around and threatens you. Step 6: (This is the step where the plan all comes together.) By this time, surface streets should be relatively clear due to the hour and the dangerous weather. If you get in your truck/car and then really, really stand on it, you can be on I-90 in under 5 minutes!!! It is absolutely the best way to get out and take the least amount of time getting from the stadium to the Thruway. 2 1 4 4 Quote

BillsPride12 Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Nobody's getting out quickly tomorrow night...so glad they moved this game to Saturday night instead of Sunday night though Quote

Any tips or tricks on how to get out quickly and get to Thruway 90East is appreciated. GO BILLS! Do you mind walking about a mile to the stadium? Park at Team Pro Auto Care Center, 3707 Southwestern Blvd. Since it's at the eastbound end of Southwestern, away from the stadium, you'll be way past the gridlock and will only have to deal with the traffic leaving the stadium. If you stay on Southwestern it will merge with Transit Rd and you can take that to Exit 49. That will bypass most of the crush on the I-90. Edited December 17, 2022 by PromoTheRobot 1 Quote

This will be your best bet tomorrow. Traffic getting out of there is going to be a nightmare in the snow. Quote
Since1981 Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) From ROC: I prioritize not getting stuck in a giant stadium lot until 1am. private park $20 Webster + Abott. Has porta John. You do have to walk a bit but you won’t get stuck in any traffic or giant lot. Milestrip 179E, 219N… Dropped pin Webster Rd parking https://maps.app.goo.gl/81oRV6cTx1XLhoiS6?g_st=ic Edited December 17, 2022 by Since1981 3 1 Quote
Chicharito Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Don’t park in the bills lot 4. Tennessee game I got home at 3am. Because buses and limos go first then the cars. I only live 20 miles or so from the stadium Quote

That's the way I usually go, but I don't wanna go through them hills between EA and 77. Might head north to 33 and take that into Corfu, then 77 to the 90. Always park in lot 1. Takes awhile to get out of, but most lots do. I plan on taking 20A to East Aurora and then take Two Rod Rd north to 33 East into Corfu. Then North on 77 to the Thruway.

sullim4 Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I am a big fan of the individuals offering parking on their lawns on the south side of 20A, just east of the stadium. It's very easy to get out - just a right turn onto 20A and there aren't a ton of lights. East of Orchard Park, you can then link up to a number of options that will take you north to the Thruway.

Scott7975 Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 If you want to get out quick then don’t park in the stadium lot. You’ll be there for hours unless you plan to leave in the 3rd quarter Quote
