For some relevance to the Bills...
On Friday, Oct. 13 the Sabres play the Red Wings in Detroit, then that Sunday, Oct. 15th, the Bills play the Lions in Detroit. Seeing as my girlfriend is from d-town, we are probably gonna make the trip there for that weekend.
Also, once again like last year, the Sabres play the Canadiens on the day after thanksgiving, Friday Nov. 24th, and the Bills play at home against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 26th. I'll also most likely attend these two games.
All-in-all, the schedule worked out really well for me, as we also play the Rangers at MSG on my birthday! (I live near MSG)
