mackey7789 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) I have set up a Buffalo Bills game “shuttle” departing from Syracuse, NY (Liverpool to be exact) to the first 3 home games (9/16 vs. Kanasa City, 9/30 vs. New England, and 10/21 vs. Tennessee). You can choose 1 of these games or all 3 if you want. The 34 passenger Coach bus will leave from Bayberry Plaza off rt. 57 in Liverpool, NY at 6:15 AM gameday morning and then stop at the Rochester 390 park and ride between 7:30 – 7:45am. The cost of the shuttle is $55 per person. You will need to have your own tickets and BYOB. This is ideal because you won’t have to worry about gas, tolls, parking, or DWIs. If you are interested in this deal, it is a first come, first serve basis through the Travel Leaders travel agency in Syracuse, NY. Give them a call at 315-622-2040 or email Sharon at sbarnestl@caseytravelny.com Here is a link for the park and ride off of 390 in Rochester if you will be coming from there: https://www.dot.ny.gov/regional-offices/region4/other-topics/park-ride LETS GO BUFFALO!!

beer Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sounds awesome, I'll definitely take advantage of this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey7789 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I wish I would have thought of this years ago. Between gas, tolls, parking, and the hassle of driving.....this is an amazing deal and idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Does Amtrak still run the train anymore to the games or did that idea die? Edited June 21, 2012 by Ed_Roch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey7789 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't think that ever happened. This brings you right to the game which is nice. More shuttles from Syracuse and other areas need to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Holy crap, Bayberry plaza is literally 5 minutes from my house. If I had purchased any tickets I'd be all over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Does Amtrak still run the train anymore to the games or did that idea die? That's been gone for years, since sometime in the 90's if I remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey7789 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 There should be more shuttles from other CNY cities. When I heard it was going to be $55 I was hesitant......but the luxary of riding a nice bus, getting there by 9 every game, and never having to hassle with another 2.5 hr drive....I set it up. If it doesnt fill.....then its all off. But I make no money off this and its all through a travel agency. The thought of being able to drink, eat, and do whatever and not drive.....it will be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 This is a solid idea. I wish I knew enough Bills fans in Pittsburgh to make this happen from here. Although, the 3 hour drive up and back isn't bad. I also have a newborn, so for the next few years I'll be going to one game and watching at Wexford Ale House.

PearlHowardman Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I live in Syracuse and know for sure that this is an awesome idea! You could make a lot of money doing this!! What Syracuse sports sources & bars have you forwarded this to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Syracuse sports sources & bars have you forwarded this to? I have not advertised it anywhere yet except the main Buffalo Bills message board and this board. I won't make a penny off of the shuttle because its all through a travel agent. I probably should put a flyer up around area restaurants and bars because if it does not fill, it will be cancelled. I am just so sick of driving to and from Bills games......I like to enjoy myself and not having to worry about anything will be nice. I would think this would fill up pretty quick.

Vinny4sum Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am relocating to Syracuse in 2 months and just looked at a home in Liverpool. Now how do I convince the wife I am choosing the location because of the schools and not the shuttle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the Bills shuttle and you have yourself a winning area Edited June 21, 2012 by mackey7789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop on the shuttle bus and let someone else do the driving to and from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackey7789 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 What a great idea! What's the capacity on the shuttle? Capacity is 34 people. I called the travel agent today and 10 people have signed up for the opener bus. It's a great idea for all the people coming from Syracuse. A few people coming from Rochester have already signed up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Don't feel bad. I have to drive 2 1/2 hours from Potsdam, NY just to reach Syracuse before taking 90 west to get to the game. Because it's so far, I leave a day or two early and bring a camper. That way I can drink while I'm there and sleep it off before heading all the way home.

Just Jack Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Jack, are you talking about Amtrak or Bills playoff appearences? Well, I meant Amtrak, but you may be onto something here. Maybe it's not a "Flutie Curse" but an "Amtrak Curse". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PearlHowardman Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Suggestion: Attend a few of the Bills training camp sessions in Pittsford. There's always a lot of Bills fans from here in the 'Cuse in attendance. Talk to them about it. I'm sure they'll be interested and the word will spread!! Kudos!!
