I can actually hear what people are saying when they talk. Idk once i hit 38 didnt care to much bout dancing anymore. I'm the same tbh. Once you reach a certain age it takes a bit more effort to get you in the dancing mood & even then it can be a workout, so theres a time & place for it for sure. But I've been an electronic music dj since I was shoot 20, so I have friends who are promoters & run nights at various spots around town where I'll get an occasional gig or make an appearance. I produce my own music these days because I've moved beyond that younger lifestyle, but still know enough that you can do better than blast some ghastly train whistle every other minute 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shout song needs to go. Can’t stand it, I hate it, I hate when people try to start it. It’s like sweet Caroline at Fenway. It’s run it course. Bingo- the shout song is horrible, old, and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleSammy Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Didn't the Bills play the stampeding Buffalo video on 3rd downs back in the 90's? It was so long ago I can't be certain.

It seems that many fans hate the horn. I even found a link to a change.org page trying to get it removed, LOL!! What say you?? Didnt they have a herd of Buffalos stampeding before big plays back in the 90s? I seem to recall that when I was a kid. Seems much more appropriate than a train horn. 6 minutes ago, LittleSammy said: Didn't the Bills play the stampeding Buffalo video on 3rd downs back in the 90's?

Chandemonium Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 When did the train horn start? I never had seasons, but went to 4-5 games a year before moving out of WNY in 2012, and I don’t recall hearing it then. Now when I watch games on tv or in the handful of games I’ve been able to go to since, I find it distracting and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have model trains, I have traveled to see rail trains, take pictures of trains etc.. THIS HORN IS THE DUMBEST MOTHERF*CKING THING EVER AND I SAY THAT AS SOMEONE WHO LIKES TRAIN HORNS AND COULD TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM. MAY IT DIE FOREVER! On a funny note my brother's mother in law was watching the Bills game and remarked there must be train tracks nearby because she heard like 10-14 trains go by during the game haha They should make it 2 longs, a short, and a long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The real question is if on an international flight you had to sit next to either someone blowing the train horn every 15 minutes or Billy Buffalo. Who would you pick? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an out of towner who has been to 3 games in Buffalo. One was last season. I don't remember hearing a train horn so I have no idea what the poll is all about. There was no clueless option so I'll just abstain from the vote. But Fred Flintstone brought back memories. Pretty sure before the opening kickoff circa 1998 they did a Flintstone Water Buffalo Stampede thing that was pretty cool. #BringBackFredFlintstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the horn at hockey it signifies a great thing, does not happen all that often in most games, and I love it when a goal wins a big playoff game and the horn guy gets a little overly excited and blows it extra. They use it right in hockey. Edited January 5, 2019 by cba fan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
