Bentley50 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Can anyone tell me what hotel the Bills stay when at home the night before games? Bringing my son who is a little guy. Last time we came to a game they stayed at Adams Mark, is that still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Thrill Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Do they even stay at hotels for home games? You would think that most players would arrive at the stadium since they are local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley50 Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yes all nfl teams and most college teams stay at a local hotel the night before games. We r from Grand Rapids Mi and haven’t asked around if the Bills still stay in the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 League rules, I believe. Been that way as long as I can recall. Used to be the McKinley park Inn decades ago. Not sure about the Adams Mark, thought they were at the newer Marriot these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the table Karlos Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Was the Sheraton on Walden for a long time. Had breakfast with Jim Kelly before lions game there in 90s. Haven't heard of them being there or anywhere else in a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It's kind of cool no one knows the answer to this question. Let the guys get their work in prior to the game. That's the way it should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Last year they stayed at the Marriott downtown on the water. I know this because I pushed my cousin into Shady McCoy getting in the elevator at the hotel. I didn’t know it was McCoy. I may of been the victim of an unprofessional bartender. McCoy was not happy about it but he was fine. Although that was the Night before the Saints game and McCoy didn’t play that great for about a month. The full story also includes Tyrod and McCoy saying ‘white boys be trippin’ all and all it was pretty entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Don't know if they still stay here but here is an article from a few years back. https://www.bizjournals.com/buffalo/blog/morning_roundup/2013/08/bills-make-wyndham-their-home-hotel.html The Buffalo Bills have a new “home” hotel for the team on nights before games at Ralph Wilson Stadium. The team has partnered with Ellicott Hospitality Co., an affiliate of Ellicott Development Co., to house the Bills players, coaches and staff at the just-opened 120-room Wyndham Garden Hotel & Residence at the Mosey. The first Wyndham in Erie County is located on Main Street in Amherst. Terms on the multi-year deal were not disclosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had I known it was McCoy I would of turned Into the obnoxious fan saying good luck tomorrow and I have been a Bills fan for almost 40 years.

All equal, maybe, but ultimately the team sources the rooms on their own with incredibly extensive requirements. They tend to go with the best combo of fit, rates and availability. Many times the type of hotels that have 15 conference rooms for position group meetings will have programs contracted years in advance so it’s not always 100% consistent at the same hotel (though preferred for routine sake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pegulas own Marriot Harborcenter and have a hotel group that manages it for them. Hope that helps. Good luck and Go Bills.

BADOLBILZ Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 8 hours ago, matter2003 said: Yes. They stay overnight and then most go back home in the morning before heading to the stadium Yeah we tend to forget but these are very young men and they make bad decisions all the time...........be it staying up all night online or playing video games or having a manipulative wife or GF that wants to test their commitment etc.. Making sure they ALL stay in and get rest and are focused is absolutely necessary when you are talking about a large group with 47 active gameday players. And they do go home and sometimes then roll up late to the game. I remember the story about Stevie Johnson driving up late to the game already in uniform. I remember Henry Jones laying on the horn trying to drive into lot 1 at 12:30 for a game with a look of panic on his face with the road totally filled with fans walking up to the stadium.?

Pretty sure Mike Wallace did the same thing. Showed up 20 minutes before kickoff in his uni and special red socks. Remember that jump ball he caught that one time?

Years ago I stayed at the Adams Mark for some job interviews and the team was there too (at the time Fitz was the QB). They were fairly low key but also lost badly. Guessing they have a contracted rate that's very low and I doubt that's changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday before the game, get to the lobby about 4ish and the players will start to come in individually. About 6;30 you will start to see them come back down through lobby as dinner is in the room just off the lobby.ususally all very nice and friendly. Then be downstairs at the main entrance starting at about 8:30 on Sunday as the main bus will leave sometime around 9 i think for the stadium. Not the time to ask for pictures and all, that is better the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
