Generally, with a few exceptions, I have founds Bills fans to be respectful and even accommodating. I concur, and must throw in I was impressed by how many times in Green Bay I was told “welcome to Wisconsin”. THAT beats a punch in the nose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT beats a punch in the nose! The same happened when I went to the Bills @ Saints game a few years ago. I had two big burly guys stop me "Did you come all the way from Buffalo just for this game?" I like to get into the stadium earlier than my buddies I go with, so I was alone and fearing for my life at this point. "Yes sir!" "Well, thanks for coming down. The tourist industry has died since Katrina, and we need all the help we can get. If you want seafood after the game, go here. If you want a steak, go here." There was one guy that was being a real a-hole to mostly me, and the rest of the Bills fans with me. Had like three Saints fans behind me asking me to please not let him ruin my experience, or my opinion of their fan base. Overall, a really cool time except of course the score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen Bills fans do anything more than boo opposing teams' fans as they walked up/down the stairs in the stadium.

My first ever game at the Ralph I watched the angry drunk next to me who was dressed like a Bills themed Ronald McDonald threaten a Raiders fan a few rows in front of us with "Why don't I come down there and kick your ass in front of your kid!" The rest of the fans in my section thought this was a pretty good idea and this man rushed out of the stadium with his 7 year old son in a shower of beer, ice, and garbage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 fans can on a given day be surly and bitter and drunk and looking to make trouble where it wasn't remotely invoked don't you dare tell people otherwise just because you have been fine so far at Columbus it is understood Michigan fans have an hour to clear out of town before it could get ugly, I usually traveled with people in Michigan gear and this allowance was heeded wiselely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were sitting in the upper deck and these fans a few rows behind us lit a Raiders jersey on fire. The next thing that happened was a mini brawl then security came and tossed a few people out.

Oh, I'm sure it happens; I just think it's - by far - the exception and not the rule. I attended a Mets/Sox game at Fenway last month. I purposely wore my Pedro Martinez Mets jersey and more than one Sox fan commented, "yeah, he's a Mets fan, but at least he's got a Pedro jersey on." The only problem I've ever had as an opposing fan was last year at the BUF/NYJ game. It was just one guy being a dick and that wasn't even close to escalating to a fight.

I could 100% see why someone would take a swing at them..and then all we would hear is what cretins Bills fan are....really Massholes?? screwing a Buffalo on the way out of the stadium, mocking the shout song...and then crying like ***** cause "yall are sore losers" and calling the cops over?

Ol Dirty B Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 On 10/26/2018 at 11:52 AM, The Real Buffalo Joe said: Where's the line drawn between friendly banter, and blatant disrespect between fans of rival/opposing teams? Trash talking is part of the fun of being a fan of the sport, but how far is too far? The reason I ask is because I was at the Debacle in Houston. I'll admit I'm a loud fan. Yelling on defense, getting excited when we do good, and angry when we play bad. But I've never been disrespectful, and keep foul language to a minimum. Some Texans fans were annoyed by how loud I was when the Bills were on defense, and after the pick six, decided to grab me by the shoulders and violently shake me. I wasn't hurt or anything, but that obviously crossed the line. Really, I never even got mad at the Texans, just at the Bills. I feel this way at new era. You can root for who you want, say whatever you want to me. And I'll say some ***** back. But you can't touch me. If you push me or start doing some ***** like that, all bets are off. I feel like that at home games too. If someone starts putting their hands on someone who was just being an annoying fan and talking *****, that ain't cool. 14 minutes ago, plenzmd1 said: as mentioned above, never bee in a fight at an NFL game..but tonight was close.

I was wondering how awful they were last night. I’ve traveled to 6 different stadiums so far in my life for bills games and the worst gameday experience I’ve ever had was in our own backyard up at orchard park, the first game Brady played us after his suspension. after dealing with those MASSholes I told my wife, as we walked out of the stadium, I may never attend another game involving the pats. And I mean that. I have no desire to deal with them when I’m spending money to try and enjoy a venue. All the same type. Drunk cocky idiots in there mid 20’s that hopped on the bandwagon back when they were 10-12 years old and have never had to deal with losing.

I grew up an Indians fan (because of their affiliation with the Bisons), but always rooted for the Red Sox when the Indians were out of playoff contention. Their fans seemed cool, and we all had a mutual hatred for the Yankees. Then 2004 happened, and I'll admit, I loved it. When they came back from the 0-3 hole. But after that, all the massholes came out of the woodwork, along with bandwagon non New England are fans, and they've become as bad, arguably worse, than the Yankees.
