millbank Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 So many peoples who post and frequent site. Have pondered how many of you follow the team. Do you have season tickets? Are season season tickets at this point in time cost prohibitive that you have other expenses that you and family save their monies for one or two special outings to a single game or two?. Do you usually follow games on Television and radio, perhaps logging on to this site or another and follow a particular game, via one of the media's or a combination of all or some of internet, radio , television. Do you ever go to the Ralph simply to attend the tailgates, but at game time head home to view game or a local establishment? How is it for you out of town folk, do you get to Buffalo every home game, traveling from afar, or a few times year, or is your connection with Buffalo people and team moreso, this site , logging on here at game time following via internet and radio/television? Hope the question not to rambling, but think it may be interesting to hear how posters , both near and far follow the team, be it live, internet, radio, television? How has it changed for you. Will admit up to about two years ago, had not missed one Bills game since beginning of franchise, but will admit to becoming a little apathetic about team and actually going for walk during a few games, following on phone, while walking, have still never missed a game played by team, but now certainly the vehicle of how I do it has changed with the many different options available today. At any rate how is it for you. How to you follow Bills, Game time? (i may be nuts, but I feel a good season coming up.... hope this not just old guy feeling frisky on a Monday morning... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintmyhouse Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Likely go to the Bills' bar in Atlanta, called Tavern 99 for the opener. Flying in to Buffalo for the KC game home opener. I have directTV Sunday Ticket, will likely watch most the of games at home, but if they are wining it makes going to the games more fun at the bar, could go to a few more. Might catch one of the December home games too, my grandma is sick so I am going baout every 6 weeks to Buffalo right now. Might go to the Bills at Miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Follow the news through links here and stories on Buffalo Rumblings. Watch the games either at home, or at a Bills bar (I live in DC). I might go to a game, but it's a bit expensive and time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 DTV Sunday Ticket the food and beer is much better and cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Had season tickets but now i live out of the area on a very strict budget. I'm gonna get game rewind to ensure I see all the games but i may go to a bar occasional and catch the game while its on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 had seasons when i lived closer to buffalo. now i make it to abiut two games a year, more if the team is doing well. about 50% of games are on tv here, for the others i go to a bills backers bar about 5 miles from home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The couple of times we've been able to string together some wins, I like to go to a bar or Buffalo Wild Wings. The best was beating the Cheatriots this past season. A whole crowd of chowderheads were slapping each other on the back for the 1st half and pointing at our group in Bills gear. The second half of that game was awesome. I've never seen so many red-faced pissed off Brady boys. Priceless. But most games i catch streaming online. The quality isn't always the best, but I don't donate to Sunday Ticket on principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I live in Denver. There is a huge Bills bar right in the middle of downtown that sounds awesome, but it's actually kind of cheesy. We go there for the opener every year cause it's a riot and there will literally be 200 Bills fans there easy, but after that we watch them all at a friend's house. I like to be able to hear everything and pause and rewind if necessary. Plus I'm flying home for the opener and unless they completely suck, I'm going to the Houston game. And I made me a vow to the moon and stars, if the Bills make the playoffs, I will be there, I don't care where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I at least listen to every Bills game via Sirius or Verizon. I may on on the tractor or working somewhere but I can it. Occasionally I get the chance tosee the games and most Bills bars are an hour away at least. I haven't been to a game since 2003 and need to get back. If I can save some dough up quick and get the logistics worked out quick ill go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sunday ticket, home. For the Thursday night game probably listen to the iPhone ap at work if I can get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todzilla Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm in Denver like Metz, I may go down to the Bills Backers bar he was talking about for a game or two, but for the most part, it's Sunday Ticket at my house. 2 other Buffalo transplants come over to watch and we cook up some WNY favorite like beef on weck, wings, chicken finger subs, etc...

Shouldaplayedflutie99 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The best bills bar in vegas, Johnny Macs. Going to AZ game. May stay home on occasion for the sunday ticket seeing as Johnny Macs is a 45 min drive for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglukes Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have season tickets so I'm at every home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Will be in town for the opener against KC, the last game against the Jets, and hopefully at least one other. Selling the rest of my seasons and watching the games on DTV here in NC with a bunch of neighbors and friends who are WNY transplants. And I randomly just met another diehard Bills fan/WNY transplant at the science museum yesterday while our two little kids (born a day apart as it turns out), played together. As all you WNY expats know, we have a strange psychic bond and tend to just kind of find each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Whether they be on local TV here in VA or not, I will still be watching them one way or another (as I got the PC running through the Vizio also). Or I have a buddy of mine who gets the Sunday Ticket and has people over his house every weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don_of_manhattan Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I live in NJ, so I watch the games on Sunday Ticket. My daughters play soccer on Sundays, so typically I am watching via iPad or iPhone or listening via XM (or both). I usually TIVO the games in case I want to recap it later.

BB12 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I lived in Las Vegas and had Sunday Ticket. I just moved back to Buffalo in March and plan on going to at least two games maybe more. I already have tickets for the Pats and Dolphins games. The rest of the season will be spent either hosting a football party or going to one.

Jim in Anchorage Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Internet illegal/bootleg/pirate sites Good luck seeing them on TV here. Unless they are are on MNF and we know how often that happens. On the plus side I have built up a good library of reliable sites and get a kick out of it when someone living next door to the stadium complains about a blackout, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
