BuffaloChip Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 I do know where all Bills fans sat during the 9ers, and Bills super bowl years.That's where we will sit I met a lot of fans from Buffalo, I meet them at games too.I have not missed a Bills 9ers game or raiders game here since 79. Including my first in 80 (I think) when a rookie named Montana could not pull out a comeback win in the rain at the end of the game. Where do Bills fans normally sit at Candlestick?

BuffaloFan32 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I am moving to the Bay Area this summer and will be at this game. I also believe there is safety in numbers. Are we getting a section together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Look man since you absolutely refuse to let this go I will explain one last time. I usually don't get into grudge matches in a town and area I have lived in over half my life. Over some ego related stuff I just don't care about. I have no idea why one would park at the wharf. Since that is not even in North Beach? Is that where your bar is? I never said nor do I have a interest in going to a game in a friggin bus. As for fandom and why don't I hang there. I don't need to. I have a lot of friends from Buffalo who have never heard of it and have no plans to go to a Bills bar. Besides our families and ourselves we are content with our small crown of 20 or so. I am not a kid needing to hang at a Bills Bar. I do know where all Bills fans sat during the 9ers, and Bills super bowl years.That's where we will sit I met a lot of fans from Buffalo, I meet them at games too.I have not missed a Bills 9ers game or raiders game here since 79. Including my first in 80 (I think) when a rookie named Montana could not pull out a comeback win in the rain at the end of the game. As for North Beach: I go to Tosca, Vesuvios (a Lot) and many of the dives on Green street. I know a lot of artists in those places. We go to Tosca a lot because tourists rarely spend time there. We like that. Very interesting people.This is the heart of North Beach. As for parking I never have problems, maybe I know the area a little better. Now from Green and Columbus or Broadway and Columbus its a 5 minute ride to 101 or as you newbies call Vann Ness Blvd. proceed south for a few blocks and you are at Van Ness and Geary which is easily half way through the huge megalopolis they call San Francisco. Taking the right parallel street to Van Ness and having the lights timed in your favor that's another whopping 10 minutes to the freeway. I can get to the stick in just over a hour from Petaluma so calling the ride from NB a B word is probably true if you have no experience doing it. And parking in the wharf, which locals avoid like the plague is just crazy except for drinking in the Buena Vista late at night.Again you have to know where to park. If you re read my original post. I actually commented I have never met a Bills fan in North Beach partying the night before a game. I said since I don't know where this bar is nor do I care(actually I never heard of it but we stay away from touristy places)maybe that's why. Just a simple statement. I also mentioned during the FIVE 49er super bowl victories North Beach after the game is/was where the locals go to celebrate in mass. Thousands of them. Probably because its centrally located in SF and a cool area if you know where to go. Good times, free food in some places and have a beer or 2 in the street with the cops. I never had a chance YET to be in B-Lo after a super bowl win so the NB experience has to do for now. We don't tailgate at the Shittstick anymore, its not the same as years ago. We get there (BTW we don't even park in a 9ers lot) go in and watch warm-ups then the game. Tailgating is safe there and you can eat Brie cheese and drink good wine with the yuppies & metros there as long as the sun is out. Oakland is 10X worse why anyone from Buffalo would get tix in the black hole is beyond me. Wear a opposing jersey and you are flat out asking for it. Flat out dangerous if you got a wife and grand kids to even go to the game much less sit in that crap hole.Last Bills game there we sat at the 50 13 rows up, and behind the Bills bench. I have witnessed younger guys in Bills attire get their asses kicked in the cheap lots away from the cops. That's if the opposing team wins or loses. So I guess you can get your map out again and prove me wrong. Like I said enjoy the game and your time at a Bills bar if that's your thing. For this Bills game it's guys only with our crowd so we won't get home till late after hitting North Beach for pizza and beer. There are a lot of ex-Buffalo people in the Bay area. Not one I know goes to a Bills bar. That's just us I guess. Whoa dude did you see that little smilie thing with his tongue out? That means I was busting your balls. But there's no doubt you're a San Franciscan with that rant. Oh an regarding North Star. I've only been once with my brother who was in town from WNY.

Best Player Available Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Where do Bills fans normally sit at Candlestick? Our experience has always been in the center of the West endzone. Easily a couple hundred Bills fans there. Back in the 80's the stick was basically all sold out in season tix. The seats made available to opposing teams were in the end zones. Way before stub hub, etc. Now we usually get some seats from friends with seasons Also win or lose we go to the opposing teams (Bills) bus entrance to cheer them on.After the games. Not hard to find there will be Buffalo fans there. The No punt game was insanity with the Bills buses getting a police escort out of the stick, or at least through the stadium gates. I think it was really protecting them from their own crazed fans. Same reason we go to warm ups as opposed to tailgating, we and a lot of fans like to get vocal and let the team know they are not alone there.

And, I sure as heck hope you took my comment about eating Brie and drinking wine at a tailgate in the stick for the jab at TRUE native San Franciscans, and the dripping sarcasm it was. Fact is today I'm in what was once our summer escape on the coast of Bandon oregon. Home of Bandon Dunes Golf resort. I got 2 kids down there still in SF and I am in the city still more than I need or want to be on occasional business.I fly down from North Bend because I can. I hate driving now.I may be old but trust me I live young. For the third time have a great time at the Bills Niner game. It will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. OTM Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Gonna try joining you good people down in Arizona. I have a buddy who lives in Glendale. Check this out Bills at Arizona 2012 for information on what's happening in Arizona for the Bills game. You can also check #BillsAZ if you're on Twitter. my buddies and I are trying the same thing... best spot for tickets? (for both games) Still looking at tickets myself.

As for Oakland, I know there are many fans that refuse to go there because of Raiders fans. Although I can honestly say that I have been to the last two Bills games in Oakland and I have worn my full gear, and I never had a problem. If you don't act like a jerk to opposing fans then you'll be fine. Also, the black hole is overrated. Just a bunch of doctors & lawyers who dress weird. Mount Davis is where you have to be careful, that's where the gang-bangers are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbag Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 This will be the last time the Bills will play in the city and county of San Francisco - going back to their first incarnation in the AAFC from 1947-49. stop being such a fatalist. the niners are as much a part of that community as an it's it.

The Senator Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Sheesh...all this arguing amongst fellow Bills fans, and about something so silly Fact is, The NorthStar Cafe isn't in North Beach at all - it is actually located in (as original owners Bob & Perry T. liked to say) " the Italian section of Chinatown." (And, for local Bills fans, it's more of a Sunday morning game-day destination than a Saturday nite hangout.) But EssEff is a big, fun, beautiful city - there's lots of delightful, interesting, and culturally varied areas - each with their own unique crowd and neighborhood bar scene - and a great time waiting to be had in every one of them. You can hang out in Chef's neighborhood (the Castro district) and enjoy the spectacle, or - if you prefer to be around straight people - enjoy the bars in North Beach, South Beach, The Embarcadero, Fishermans Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, etc. (Or even take a trip back in time about 40 years to 'The Haight', visit the old Victorian home where The Grateful dead used to live, and marvel that there are still 'hippies' in tie-dye hanging out on the streets of Haight Ashbury and in the Golden Gate panhandle!) Anyway, I remember a cold, wet, windy December Bills game at 'The Stick' a few years back - pouring, blowing, sideways rain, and nastier than any December game I've ever been to at 'The Ralph'!!! I'm glad the Bills are playing out there in October - usually the sunniest and warmest time of the year in the Bay Area. Hope to see y'all there GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!!

San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 next thing you're going to be telling me is that rice-a-roni is the actually the santa clara treat. I heard Tony Bennett's making a comeback and has composed a few new songs… You can hang out in Chef's neighborhood (the Castro district) and enjoy the spectacle, or - if you prefer to be around straight people - enjoy the bars in North Beach, South Beach, The Embarcadero, Fishermans Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, etc. I guess it bears mentioning that most all of SF's "Gentlemen's Clubs" are in North Beach. Full nudity, beautiful women… but no alcohol served. Because of that, not quite on a par with the Canadian Ballet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
