If the first game at Rich was the Redskins where the guy returned the opening kickoff for a TD, then I was there

 

A harbinger for things to come in this building.

My first game was on 11/29/81 against the washington redskins.  I remember being there, but too young to remember the action of the game.  In my mind I remember the field being 20 miles away.

I was not at the first, and probably won't make the last, but I think the Bills should have a special recognition for those of you that did and will. That will be a special accomplishment.

Agreed, although attendance at that preseason game would be tough to prove.  Somewhere I do have the coin and the PRO magazine...

Yes, I was at that very first Redskins game. Went to many games since then, great memories. I've moved away from and back to WNY over the years, and now live about 5 minutes from the stadium.

Still a great Bills fan, but dont think I'll be attending the last game at the stadium.

Unfortunately, at 63 Ive turned into one of those grumpy old men who'd be yelling to the fans around me "sit down and shut up..I want to watch the game"...

Besides, the last game next season will be the AFC Championship Game where the Bills beat the Chiefs...and those tickets are going to be awfully expensive!!
