PromoTheRobot Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I drive from Southern NH to Buffalo for Bills games. I certainly could pick up a few riders along the NYS Thruway on my way. I'm sure others could offer rides if folks are willing to chip in for gas. A ride share board here at the Stadium Wall could be a good resource. Any thoughts? Opinions? PTR
Just Jack Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I started a thread under the Tailgate East forum for the Toronto games. Try starting a thread there to start and either G. Host or I will pin it. I know there are times I'd be interested.
BillsWatch Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 A google map would probably work out better than an old fashioned board in my opinion but I'll help anyway I can. I'd love to just help pay for gas rather than driving from VA for games.
eball Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I'd like to run over a few Bills fans...but I don't think that's what you're asking.

PTR Anyone traveling from New England to Buffalo should just fly JetBlue from Logan. After you spend money on gas and tolls - it's just not worth it. Do you hang out at The Harp?

Do you hang out at The Harp? Did you include parking at airport? Once you get to Buffalo you need transportation. Did you include this? If you are going to a game late in then year then you need to account for NFL moving game. A number of people have been screwed by NFL having had plane tickets into town weeks and months ahead of time to save money on plane ticket (or are you talking about a full price plane ticket) but not being able to see game because of need to make flight. It is not as simple as you make it sound. I drive up for three or four games a year from Virginia and will fly at end of year but it requires leaving Monday instead but fortunately I have family in area instead of eating cost of hotel.

After you spend money on gas and tolls - it's just not worth it. Do you hang out at The Harp? Sometimes you can get a $79 fare from Logan to Buffalo, but not every game. Rental car is $40 a day. Parking at Logan is $17/day minimum. If you are going solo then air costs about the same, if not a little more. But get 4-6 people in a car and driving is hands-down way cheaper. I'm actually in NH. I've been to the Harp a few times but it's an hour's drive. These days with gas and Boston parking we Granite State Bills fans congregate at Billy's in Manchester. It ain't the same as hundreds of screaming Bills fans at the Harp but it'll do. How about it, Glen? How about creating a ride share sub-forum in the Tailgate section? PTR
Just Jack Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 How about it, Glen? How about creating a ride share sub-forum in the Tailgate section? Creating a sub-forum requires Scott, but like I said, if you just create a thread, we'll pin it for now.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 Creating a sub-forum requires Scott, but like I said, if you just create a thread, we'll pin it for now. Done. Just made a post in the Tailgate forum. PTR
