transient Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 11 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: If you recall, back then at least "half the damned country" collectively groaned "christ, not again" when the Bills made it to their 4th SB.....so, maybe not. While some of it was disdain, in my experience nearly as much or more was the wincing empathy of not wanting to see the team and its fanbase get crushed yet again if they failed, which most of the country outside of WYN and it's transplants was anticipating. Win even one of the four and I don't think the reaction would have been the same. Quote

Most weren’t worried about the damaged psyche of WNY… Quote
Coastie Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 I'm here with family in Georgia for new years and every one asked me about the bills and said they are fun to watch (no other bills fans in my family). Without a doubt this team resonates with folks outside the fan base. 1 Quote

Same goes for people I know in Raleigh/Charlotte.. and down into South Florida. I still remember how many Bills fans showed up to the joint practice with the Panthers a few years ago. It literally made the local news. One of the best things about going to road games is watching Bills fans take over other teams stadiums. Some more than others, obviously, but I love how our crowd travels to see our team! One of good things about people leaving WNY is that if you live somewhere else, you might be able to get a good pizza from someone who left and opened a shop near you! 1 1 Quote

jahnyc Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Live on the Upper East Side in Manhattan and I see a lot of people with Bills hats, hoodies and jerseys. Always give a Go Bills! if passing them by. Quote
muppy Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 I went to a Bills game at McFaddens in NYC and it was a line to get in until it was full capacity. Inside they had an all you could eat wings special. And they were decent wings! Great times with great fans we are EVERYWHERE Quote
Rico Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 On the other hand, I’ve never seen anyone wearing Jets’ gear outside of Long Island or a Bills-Jets game. Quote
JerseyBills Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I rarely see Bills fans in North Jersey or nyc Quote

That's awesome and I bet there were a bunch of people who wished that they were able to take a train to get to NYC from where they were with the southwest cluster going on! Wait, was your first show Merriweather this summer? Did you get an If I Could in each of your first two shows you lucky jerk?!?! Pretty much the only song I'm chasing (not sure why other than it's amazing) and I missed it by one night this summer (was at Raleigh the night before MPP). I've seen them I think 32 times and that was the closest I came other than when they played it in Worcester for the summer 2012 tour opener, but i had moved from Boston to Ft Lauderdale that January so wasnt there. I saw them 8 times each in 2009 and 2010 while living in boston, then only once in 2011 cause I got married that summer, and then moved to Ft Lauderdale in Jan 2012 and basically stopped seeing them for a while (dont be too sad, a lot of good live music in south Florida, especially in the winter/early spring, and there is a huge dead scene down there and a couple incredible dead tributes, but big shows don't typically make it down there too often). Live in Raleigh now though and there is so much music to go within a five hour drive, it's crazy...five hour drive from Ft Lauderdale gets you still in Florida. Forget about me, hope you had fun!!! I absolutely love TAB, so much fun (and back to me)...my first show since Feb 2022 (that was a Heavy Pets show in Boca, which if you haven't checked out The Heavy Pets, you're welcome) was TAB in Wilmington and they opened with Drifting...I am a much much better person when I have live music in my life and I definitely had some tears in that moment. Edited January 1, 2023 by HardyBoy 32 times not 43 times Quote
Success Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 NYC is Bills territory. It's not 100% Bills territory - but Bills fans can call it home. Quote

My buddy who lives in Blauvelt tells me about dealing with THE most insufferable jests fans at his job. The Bills-jests smack talk is brutal. Heap Big piles of it. Ugly scene at the water cooler just sayin. The worst. Quote

If I had to guess 60% of NYPD are Bills fans. I've learned more about the city from an officer seeing my hat and the conversations after than anywhere else. Should have just peed your pants. 1 Quote

Andy1 Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I think this is the Josh Allen effect. He has become must see TV for football fans. He has a humble personality and his highlights like no one else in the game. He’s the ultimate underdog story. What couch potato fan doesn’t dream of being able to play like Allen? And with red white and blue as their colors, why not root for them? 1 Quote
