Gordio Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Every year the weather for that game gets worse. He wasn't exagerating by much. Coldest game in Bills history, January 15th, 1994. 0 degrees(only time in bills history temp was not above zero in a home game) & the wind chill was -32. The next coldest game was that same season December 23rd 1993 against the Jets. 2 degrees/-28 wind chill. I was home from college & took my dad to the game as his Christmas present that year. Yeah some Christmas present. We got to our seats, we were basically sitting on a snow mound, 5 minutes into the game he looked at me, I looked at him with 3 ice cycles hanging from his mustache & we both said at the same time "lets get the f*ck out of here." Went to Ilio Dipallos & had a nice late lunch/early dinner. Best call we made all day. Edited October 1, 2015 by Gordio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I remember most about it (other than the drubbing the Bills put on the Raiders) was how warm it actually was in the stands, once that game got going. The fans were pumped, standing and screaming (I think the standing neutralized the wind factor)---I had to open my coat, I was sweating so much. I certainty remember it being VERY cold in the parking lot while we performed a very-rushed tailgate. But as I said, the cold simply wasn't an issue during, or after, the game---at least for me.

hondo in seattle Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 And the stadium has had some nice multi-million dollar upgrades over the past two years. Still, nice mention of Hammer's Lot and Pinto Ron. There was a little poetic license going on regards the stadium and weather. All in good fun.

The Bills and Jets were playing for home field playoff advantage, and were blacked out locally. We decided to go on game day morning and scored 40 yard line seats in the lower bowl. We froze to the bone. I am still glad I went, but never again when the wind chill is a negative number! I really like snow games though.

I had tickets to the raiders game as I was home from college. My friends & I decided to drink down in my parents basement while watching the game. Playoff game or not I wanted no part of being at the stadium for the Raiders game after attending that Jets game a few weeks earlier. Man did we get loaded that day too. If I recall it was an early Saturday afternoon game & we drank all day. Fun times. I was at the December 23, 1994 game. The Bills and Jets were playing for home field playoff advantage, and were blacked out locally. We decided to go on game day morning and scored 40 yard line seats in the lower bowl. We froze to the bone. I am still glad I went, but never again when the wind chill is a negative number! I really like snow games though. Snow games are the best when the temps hovering in the 20's, when it gets down below 20 I can't go out there anymore. Usually give my seats away for those games. My have to change my way of thinking if they ever get a home playoff game again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
