Jamie Nails Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'll be there with 6 Bills fans. 3 rows behind their bench! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meark Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'll be there. My 16-year-old daughter will be with me, so we'll be wearing neutral colors, mainly to spare her the venomous abuse we'd likely get if we wore our Bills gear. I'll be at the 50 yard line behind the Bills bench! Truth be told, though, I bought these tickets last month because I figured the game would be blacked out here in the Bay Area. Now that it's a sellout and will be on TV, I have mixed feelings about going. Been to several Bills games there and it's definitely the least enjoyable place to see professional sports when rooting for the opposing team. Hope to see some of you guys there... I'll be in section 141 pretty close to the 50 yard line behind the Bills bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the table Karlos Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I couldnt go and not be myself. Not get loud and crazy when the bills are doing good. To shy down a little, Id rather not even go. I go to all the san diego/bills games. You know those crazy dancers that dont sit down at all almost the entire concert, that's in my blood. I have been to many many many concerts and I see some people just sit down and barely even clap for the event. Like why are they even there.... Anyway carry on. I want to go, but not if I have to tone down. I've seen bills games in Arizona, Miami, San diego. I could get wild there, no problem. I agree. If I were to go I would be decked out in bills gear and going nuts like it was at the ralph. 5 of us went to the bills jets game in jersey. We went crazy the whole time. We had bills fans from other sections moving to ours because of us. Jets fans were coming up and shaking our hands because they couldn't believe we had the balls to do what we did. We took a lot of **** as we should have. We weren't vulgar or rude we just cheered on our team. We played the shout song on repeat for an hour and a half in the parking lot.

sfbillsfan Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 That's in Berkeley. Plenty of good food in Oakland. Game will be on local tv as it's a "sell out", with the upper level tarped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true Oakland has had riots and is "tense" in some areas..I support the non violent protest and am sickened by the way the police act but as a white dude I would not be walking around Oakland or the Colosseum decked out like a Buffalo Bill's christmas tree.

smuvtalker Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 What is the local trademark food for this area? If you are a fan of delicious hoagies, there's a sandwich shop in San Francisco called Ike's. In my opinion, these are the best subs money can buy. To this date I've never had one better. Unfortunately they don't have one in Oakland, but if you're willing to venture over the bridge, I promise you won't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Atlanta, but San Francisco is by far my favorite city to visit. I haven't been since March of last year, but every time I go to the bay, I absolutely cannot leave without getting me a delicious sub from Ike's!

Jamie Nails Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Anyone know which lot/gate the Kenny tailgate contingent will be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_MacDonald Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I am excited to go to this game. I live like 15min away in Alameda. I do expect some harassment for going in Bills gear, but it's not like people are getting killed on the regular in Oak haha Oakland is a fun city to explore, lots of cool stuff.

Mark Vader Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 this seems mildly racist Not to mention geographically unsound. To be fair the Raiders were originally going to be called the Oakland Senors. Anyone know which lot/gate the Kenny tailgate contingent will be in? Kenny will be with me. We are meeting at the dmv at 8am. It's right down the street from the Coliseum. Once we get everybody there we will be driving to the stadium parking lot. Unfortunately, I don't know where exactly we will be in the parking lot. If anybody wants to tailgate with us, here is the info. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/173969-bills-at-oakland-tailgate/ You'll be safe in numbers, as we are going to have lots of Bills fans there.

MattM Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Had a great time at the game (other than the Bills' product on the field), with nary a problem with Raiders fans even though my family and I were decked out in Bills gear. It may admittedly help that my kids are little and cute as buttons, but even so, we tailgated in the RV lot and had a great time talking to Raider fans of all stripes. My kids got lots of pics with "scary costume/Black Hole" guys. This is my third Bills game there and it's been the same each time, so must admit I don't see what the big deal is about, absent a tad of racism like some of that displayed above in the comment about being afraid of "Mexico's team". Personally, after having been lucky enough to have seen games in more than half of the NFL, if you don't act like an !@#$ you usually don't have problems at opposing stadiums. Just my experience.....
