How many Bills fans in Cincy tonite ?

[Italian Bills]

Look… yesterday i was watching at Raiders - 49ers and the stadium was almost 50-50. 
 

How do you think it will be tonight ? 
 

I would be happy to have a 70-30 balance, not sure though.

thats because Oakland and San Francisco are sister cities

24,362

I’ll be there. I love an hour north of Cincinnati. There’s a surprising number of bills fans in the area. Lots of chatter that bills mafia will have a good showing tonight. That said there’s no comparison to bengals fans and the pathetic raiders fans. Plus it’s Vegas and not really their home and Niners fans used that as a nice fun weekend getaway. I expect 75/25 tonight maybe a little more

Almost was gonna go. Had the tickets ready to be bought. Then just decided I couldn’t make this trip.

I doubt that there will be more than 10% Bills fans there tonight. Cinci is not Miami (as far as crappy fan bases) and parts of Buffalo are still digging out.

[The Wiz]

At least 12.

[JerseyBills]

I don't anticipate that much. Hope I'm wrong Monday night. Lot of ppl probably can't get off work Tuesday and this is a massive gm for cincy too and they have a loyal fan base

 

Probably 10%

There was about 40% in Jersey vs Jets

Opposing fans are always going to go to Vegas/LA as it's a nice vacation spot. In the case of the Rams/Chargers they don't have great fanbases as LA is a weak football market. Vegas is just a popular place to visit. When the Bills play the Raiders there or the Sabres play the Golden Knights, I could see Buffalo fans traveling in large numbers to go there.

Agree on all parts. But the post I quoted had it that the Raiders still played in Oakland.

You do realize they played in Oakland?  They were an iconic team. The Oakland Raiders and Canadians were the top winning percentage sports franchises in all of the 4 major sports.  So there are still many Raiders fans in Oakland.  And Oakland - San Fran are rival sister cities.  So I, for one, am not shocked, that the Raiders game in San Francisco was 50% Raiders fans.

what?

 

and to add to that, I lived in the Bay Area for 13 years. I've seen many an Oakland/San Francisco game. You couldn't buy your way as a Raiders fan into a game at Candlestick Park. And if you showed up in a Montana or Rice jersey in Oakland, you didn't have the most pleasant experience. Las Vegas is a far cry from Oakland.

That may well be the case, but yesterday they were playing in Vegas

[frostbitmic]

Somewhere between 7,138 and 13,456 ... but they'll be loud

[DC Greg]

Our flight from BWI to Cincy was almost all Bills fans. There were a ton of people at the restaurant we went to last night, as well. It seems like there will be a solid contingent at the game!

Literally nobody is still digging out. Almost all the snow is gone now.

Yeah, but the Raiders play in Las Vegas now.

I feel so guilty. You guys are flying in for the game and I live about 10 minutes from the stadium and I'm not going. You shouldn't catch too much grief from the locals. They are used to being invaded by Steelers fans and Cubs games at GABP are like Leafs games at KBC.

I'm local too and not going (but hitting the tailgate at 4) - Go Bills!!
