cantankerous Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 My fiancé surprised me with a trip to NYC, and tickets to this weeks game at the 50 yard line. This is a huge deal for me as I live in Oregon. Any tips for my first home game? I'm excited beyond belief!!! We are catching a flight from NYC to Buffalo at 6 AM Sunday morning. GO BILLS!

I'm Spartacus Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Go right from the Buffalo Airport to the stadium. Start tailgating early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) As stated above, go right to the lots from the airport....stop at a gas station and pick up some brews, enjoy the atmosphere, just walk around. If you want good people, look up Hammers Lot and have fun there. Otherwise just wander around holding your beer right in the box it comes in and soak in the scene man....it's like none other (if someone offers to put you through a table, or have you put them through a table....DO IT!)

Seattlebills21 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You have a good woman. Some friends and I flew in last night from Seattle. there big Raiders fans and I had to travel to Oakland last year so it was only fair that they have to come here this year. 1st game at New Era haven't been back home for a few years looking forward to Sunday and a Bills win.

boyst Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 You won't need to worry too much about beer if a good TBD contingent is there, not food. You'll be fed and needed up. Buy geae online. Cheaper. Easier. Will save time at the game. Team store is packed on game day and will take an hour. Go to Hammers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 If you haven't already, I would start drinking now. If you ever really want to have a great time, it almost always occurs on the sixth day of an eight day binge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Since you won't have a car for tailgating (I assume), do as others have said. Get beer and walk around to see all the tailgating. I'd also recommend checking out the field house. It's cool on game days and they have nice(er) bathrooms. If you've never been to a game, definitely get inside the stadium early (I recommend 11 or 1130) that way you can avoid the crowds at the gates and it'll give you ample time to walk around the stadium and see everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tips from an outsider, but you'll both have a great weekend, the people in Buffalo are outstanding. My GF surprised me with a trip in 2000 and we returned with the fam for the Broncos a few weeks ago. Hope the two of you have great times together in the next 17 years...but without all the Bills losses! BTW, like the screen name CAN'T TANK!!

Buffalo716 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Awesome man! Enjoy the trip! Like others have said the best place to tailgate would prolly be hammers Lot because you will meet people you know from the site. Take in the atmosphere man. Not many NFL cities like Buffalo.

Gordio Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) You need to check out an LSU tailgate. I thought I knew what tailgating looked like until I saw an SEC tailgate. That is on the list for my friends & I. We have been to Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan St, Penn St, Syracuse, Pitt(my friend went to school there), West Point(which was awesome, Ohio St., Clemson but we have never been to an SEC game/tailgate. We either wanted to do LSU, Ole Miss(I heard the groove is awesome) or Alabama/Auburn after Thanksgiving. We will get down there one of these years. & to the OP, you will have a great time. Go to Hammers, get there early(before 8am) & you will have the time of your life. Edited October 25, 2017 by Gordio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I knew what tailgating looked like until I saw an SEC tailgate. oh yea, I see the legendary LSU tailgaters on Barstool all the time - putting each other through tables, doing bowling ball shots, traveling around the country to opposing stadiums and causing a ruckus....OH WAIT NO I DONT Stop it fool...how dare you speak about Bills tailgates and mention ANY OTHER IN THE LAND in the same breath (or in this case, within the same reply on an internet message board) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Sounds like you got a keeper too. My anniversary gift was the Denver game. While it may seem crazy to a non-local to start tailgating 5 hours before the game, it is an experience. No one is more welcoming than Bills fans at tailgate. The time flies and you go into the stadium hyped and with friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I heard it snows a lot, better bring your winter boots! well, I would highly recommend quality rain gear, after spending all that money do not want to be miserable. And you probably know, but cotton undergarments are NOT your friend, wool socks, waterproof boots, and a quality rain suit will go a long way if it is 45 and raining. Having said that, I will join with Mead and say join us at Hammers. ZERO need for either food or beer or soft beverages, but if you are a spirits or wine guy I would bring those. We are having chicken soup through the day, I will be making a big pot of jamabayla at the lot, and will also be doing double-fried Korean wings if weather permits. You are more than welcome at all the TBD tailgates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfanAZ Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I usually come back for a game each season. Last year was the 49ers and this year it will be the Pats game. Get there early to enjoy the atmosphere. You can always find friendly tailgators if you dont know anyone. Some friends on mine here are Broncos fans and went to Buffalo for the game. They didnt know anyone and some Bills fans took them into their tailgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 He's arriving at 6 AM. Someone give him a good breakfast tip that is on the way to the stadium. They'll be hungry. I'm a Northtowns guy, so I don't know where to go. (I'd go to The Original Pancake House, Williamsville, but that is out of their way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
