I grew up on Long Island. I was a Jet fan because of Namath and Super Bowl III. LI had lots of snooty Giant fans and Jets were more of the working Joe's team. I sort of drifted from the Jets as I got more into the NFL as a whole but still rooted for them. Went away to college in 1976 to Postdam, then Albany. I had many WNY friends and went to 5 games late 70s. I just loved the atmosphere and the fans, the parking lots, the parking lawns, the whole scene. Hi-Light was a 1979shootout at Rich Stadium between Bert Jones/Joe Ferguson. Baltimore Colts/Bills. I was hooked. Last straw came later in 1983 -I was furious about Jets abandonment of their LI fans to move in with Giants and started following the Bills exclusively. Been there ever since. I used to make the trip every few years but, last 10 years I've made 1 game per year (I live in Westchester County) and also go to Meadowlands when they are here. Went to Green Bay last year. I've learned through my travels that there are significant numbers of Bills fans around the country, and downstate. Wear the gear and you'll get a shout out in places like Wyoming, Oregon and even Sweden.

Well...we probably won't have home field the first 2 years.....

Would rather he didn't. I'd read once that Duke Snider hurt his throwing arm shortly after the Brooklyn Dodger move to LA. Supposedly fooling around and on a dare tried to throw a baseball out of the cavernous LA Coliseum. He was north of 30 at the time and on the downside of his career......not worth it Josh. Eat the 6K Fine and throw it in the stands during the AFC Championship Game in 2022

I was home, watching on TV. The first half was so depressing that by mid 2Q I decided to terminate Christmas. I went in the living room, started to take ornaments off tree, went to attic for boxes, etc and was just PO'd. Game was still on in other room and about halfway into the 3Q my wife said "You'd better get in here". Needness to say I never finished the Christmas cleanup that day.

Count me in if here's still room. Coming from Dunkirk Sunday. Realize 9A is the cut off if we don't make it understand we'll lose. I always walk past this lot/party on way from Danny's South....Looks awesome. Thanks

Another Newbie. I live downstate and usually make one game a year for past decade or so. Just posted a question on Tailgating board about suggestions parking this Sunday- I usually park at Danny's South but tiring of it and looking for a new tailgate spot. Does it take hours to get out of this lot after games? Long drive home for me, but this looks like a lot of fun. If it's hopeless getting out of there (like more than an hour) please advise. Thanks

Hey all.... Down Stater here. I usually get out there for one game per year. I've been a fan since I went to my first Bills game at Rich Stadium in 1979 (against Baltimore Colts: Joe Ferguson v Bert Jones !!) when I was in college. This is a miserable year to come.. in fact, most years are...but we always have a good time. I usually park at Danny's South, so I can get out asap and hit the road for the 5.5-hour trip home. Tiring of that lot though, and looking for something else this year. Any suggestions where I can park around 9A, set up a grill, and not take hours to escape? Preferably with a Porta San nearby. Thanks
