  1. The best place I know of is Ravenwood in Clifton Park. Usually there is a room full of Bills fans when games are not shown locally.
  2. Need to start sending some email to the manager = Jeff Whitson
  3. Response to my email on showing Bills game: The Cowboys are in the NFC east, same as the Giants though. Plus Dallas has a load of interest in our area. Here is an explanation on the decision from our general manager, Jeff Whitson. the game was assigned to FOX23 by the FOX network. We can challenge them for a change, but we did not for the following reasons: 1. Albany is first and foremost a NY Giants market and therefore an NFC market in the mind of the NFL, which is why we air Eagles, Redskins and Cowboy games when we have a doubleheader or no Giants game on a single header weekend. 2. There is as much (if not more) interest in a Cowboy game than a Bills game due to a large number of Cowboys fans and NFC team interest...and yes...there are years of ratings to support that claim. Hope that helps. Here are a few places I've found that will be showing the game. Saratoga Bills Backers - Peabody's Phila Street in Saratoga www.saratogabbbackers.com. The Albany Bills Backers club is listed as meeting at ARC Sports Bar: 1013 8th Ave. Watervliet, NY. I waiting for confirmation on that one as it is a 2005 listing.
