aussiew Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Assuming that the NFL doesn't change anything, I have already contracted with a hotel for a traveling fan weekend in NOLA!! Let's hope the schedule cooperates and it's not a heavy weekend in the French Quarter which will drive up the room prices. Stay tuned - the schedule will be released in about 6 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we were suppose to play there the hurricane forced them to move the game to San Antonino. Nice city, had a good time, but really looking forward to going to the Big Easy!

Kirby Jackson Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I am really involved with the Bills Backers down here in New Orleans and we have some big things planned. The plan right now is to have a giant block party (in the Salvatore mode in Miami). This is all assuming that it isn't Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc...

R. Rich Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Psycho Ward 86 and I have been lookin' forward to this game for some time now. It's one of the two roadies we'll make in 2013. Care to guess where the other one will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWatch Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Last time Bills were scheduled to play in New Orleans I had reservations to go and we had Katrina. USAir screwed me out of ticket money and I have never flown on USAir since and I have flown many, many times, Been to New Orleans several times and enjoyed it there. If game scheduled on possible time to get away from work would be interested in going. And I'd guess that Psycho Ward 86 and R. Rich are heading for Pittsburgh game although Rich would probably prefer Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this time, you can make the trip and not have to deal w/ any USAir snafus. Oh yeah; we'll be headin' to Heinz Field for the Stillers game. I wouldn't mind goin' to Cleveland to see a game. I've never been to the new Browns Stadium-only that nasty dive Municipal, one of the worst stadiums I have ever been to. I'll have to see where that game falls once the full schedule is released.

plenzmd1 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think the schedule is due to be released on the 16th. Anybody have ideas on ticket prices traditionally in New Orleans? I am thinking for AFC teams, visiting fans flock to these games..not just from Buffalo, but from every team that does not play the Saints every year.

plenzmd1 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Well, i do have my flights made as of last night. Pretty damn pricey from Richmond, best rate was $430...bonus was easy to use miles so that was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiew Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Wow - finally - hotel info for New Orleans. Five days on the phone and lots of emails. Have signed contracts in place for hotels that are near the action and within reasonable walking (or trolley) distance of everything. I know you will find cheaper rooms out in the suburbs, but please consider the parking expense (and the risk of DUI) of drving back and forth in a rental car. Hopefully this bugger is uploaded and you can see the attachment. Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RedondoRick Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Is there any additional information on tickets and hotels for the Bills-Saints game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiew Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 What more information do you need on the hotel?. It's all in my previous post (click on the image to see the flier). My phone # is on the bottom if you have questions. Everyone is on their own for tickets. They don't do the groups at this stadium without full payment up front. So, someone would have to go out and purchase the tickets outright and then try to resell them. If you know anyone who is solvent enough to do this please let me know.

MVJim Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Thanks Diane for your usual hard work. We are coming in on Thursday and coming back on Tuesday. We had already booked our rooms at the Hotel St Marie (1/2 block from Bourbon Street on Toulouse St) and got our tickets through www.vividseats.com. We are in terrace section 607, row 20 on the Bills side. The tickets were just shy of $100 with fees as we needed to purchase 8. Southwest has a airfare sale going on and we booked flights from Orange County, CA to NO for $424 roundtrip. Posting this for information purposes only. Looking forward to a great time and seeing everyone on Bourbon Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
