Hey guys,
2 weeks ago i went to London to see my very first NFL (and Bills) game.
At first i have to say that i thought bills fans only exist in my mind, because i've never (ever) met one until that saturday before gameday. Honestly that was truly shocking.
So much people wearing Bills stuff, ... unreal and amazing !
I was lucky enough to be at regent street near the podium right at the moment Rex and several players showed up.
Then the gameday, from the tube to the stadium, so much nfl and Bills apparel !
A couple of observations about the game since it was my first experience :
- this is "weird" to see players in real world
- game speed (passes and runs) was slower than expected ( it looks quicker on tv )
- I felt there was almost no long interruptions during the game ( = on tv timeouts feel longer )
- The stadium weakening during the "comeback" ( from 10-27 to 31-27 ), the stadium was sold to the Bills fans ; heart and passion was great ; I just wonder how it is at Rich Stadium now.
- my girlfriend who was at the game for me truly enjoyed the game and the whole package, she appreciated the game enough that now she wants to see the game each sunday the Bills play.
- i am !@#$ingly stuck with the Bills ; I can't help it ; I couldn't have that emotion with another team.
Overall it was a great experience, that day was special for me, and it could have been a magical one if the Bill won it !
My GF took some photos of the journey :
