Digger Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Sorry for the newbie post, but I'm looking for info about Hammer's lot. We have about 5 carloads of guys that make an annual trek to one Bills game a year from Ottawa, Canada and due to changes in parking we're looking for a new place to tailgate. We understand that Hammers is a great place. This Sunday is our one game. What I’m looking for is details like: What time does it open? What time do you suggest we get there? What time does it usually fill up? There are threads on TBD that suggest reservations are possible or is that only for the home opener? How much does it cost? Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCletus Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I got there around 8:30-8:45 for the Pats* game and it was already closed, thankfully I had a reserved spot.... Fills up quick bc it's the best lot in Orchard Park! Get there early!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 JUST A FEW QUESTIONS... will you ALL be wearing Bills colors ? do you share your food & drinks ? will you be carrying any weapons ? what kind of car will you be driving ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just an FYI that we observed after the game that I don't recall before. I don't know if this is something new with updated traffic flow on Abbott, but it's a bigger pain getting out if you want to go east. For whatever reason, the sherriffs block off the left turn to Big Tree Rd, and you have a winding detour if you need 20A or 219 access. We left at 6 PM, and it was still a mess clearing the intersection. But once we got past that, it was smooth sailing. Don't know why traffic control was so bad.

I was out of the lot by 4:34 and saw the entire game. I booked it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Since your inbox is full...how the hell did I miss meeting you yesterday?(or, did I meet you but I was too drunk to remember? ) My apologies. We were off to the side of the main tables. I mostly stayed with our crew, as everyone also rolled in from out of town and we were catching up a bit. I had brief chats with SDS, Steve from Lancaster, Rich & Rockpile. Walked up to the game with Lori, and told her that she IS missed. We stuck around a bit after the game wanting to wait until Abbott started to move a bit and then straight home in time for first day of school today.

Remember, he's from Canada, so you need to use proper Canadian English, and end every sentence in "eh". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
