NewEra Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) It’s my wife’s 40th bday weekend. Current plan is to be in ft Lauderdale Saturday/Sunday and head to Disney world Monday-Friday. Castillo is still the OL coach, so we’re thinking about changing our flights and have an extra few day’s in Disney World. Neither of us have been there since the 80’s. But if its going to be a good tailgate showing and a fun Saturday night party, that experience is will probably outweigh a couple extra days in Disney. Who’s going to the Miami game and when/where are the parties and tailgates? Edit: I checked the tailgate forums and didn’t see anything. Seems like the traffic over there is far and few so I’m posting here because I need the info asap to confirm the plans. Thanks Edited November 19, 2018 by NewEra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been to games in Tampa and Jacksonville,, and I’d expect a great turnout in Miami. Florida is full of ex-WNYers! We outnumbered Jags fans probably 4:1 on multiple occasions. Definitely worth looking into. Could be a lot of fun! The first time my parents came to visit us in FL, my parents sat in church next to some old friends from Buffalo. I took my dad ot to see the Bills game that day in a very dark bar (projection screens), he got out of his chair and literally bumped into a high school buddy he hadn’t seen in 50 years. I have no idea how they even recognized each other! At dinner that night....yep, he ran into a guy he used to work with. I’d been there a month, and they knew more people in a day than I did. .

Yeah I hear it’s a huge mafia consistency down there. Think I’m leaning towards going to Epcot that Sunday. Anyone recall any spots within Epcot where we can take a break and watch the game?

Kirby Jackson Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I’m up in the air on Miami at this point. I tried to talk my brother into it last week but he wasn’t hearing it. The night before is usually at Shooters in Ft. Lauderdale (or at least it was for years). It’s a fun party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Salvatore Shooters Party is long gone. The bar is still called Shooters, but is now an a upscale restaurant. Salvatore now hosts a much smaller and low key invite only event elsewhere. ....and yes the old parties were AWESOME!!!

They still had it after Salvatore stopped hosting it. I haven’t been to that game in a few years though. Where is the night before now?

NewEra Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 So the big party is invite only now huh? Sounds typical of Miami folk. That’s a real bummer. Changing the flight today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this is from last year: https://buffalonews.com/2017/12/30/bills-backers-club-ready-to-party-in-miami/ I don’t know if that is still the plan down there but it’s probably a decent starting point.

Thanks Kirby. I’m so torn. I’m sure it’ll be a great time. Weather reports 2 weeks out are calling for rain Saturday and Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the flight today. Even in the wild Shooters days, you always needed a ticket to get in. Bad choice of words from me in earlier post. When I said "invite only", I meant it is a ticketed event, and I think the tickets are much harder to get than when party was much larger at Shooters.
