    How many Bills fans at the game?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    I stand corrected. I don't know why 70,000 had stuck in my head. Maybe that was season ticket sales? (Too high a ratio, IMO)

     

    A bit under 20,000 sounds right to me. But (and I'm not even being hyperbolic here), our enthusiasm outmatched their numbers. We were like the Scots in the big battle scene in Braveheart.

     

    Before the game, a Rams fan said to me, "you must be psyched..."

    And I replied, "are you kidding me? The Bills are playing in Los Angeles! This is amazing!"

    It seemed almost surreal for me to be watching the Bills in a venue where I have worked plenty of set lighting jobs over the years. And, I know there were many, many East Coast transplants who had driven in from all over California, Arizona, and Nevada.

     

    Tell me if I'm remembering this correctly: When Robey-Coleman made his pick six, the subsequent fan eruption almost sounded like a home game, right?

    It sure sounded like it. There were Bills fans all around us and we all jumped up when he was running it back...lol

    When I was leaving another Bills fan had me stop and took a pic. Good times had by all.
