Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I’m vacationing in Spain with my family. Walking through the grand city park in Madrid and a fellow Bills fan walks by wearing a Bills sweatshirt. He didn't see me wave. So far I’ve seen a Cubs and Red Sox hats but no other NFL gear. If that was you, have fun in Spain. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 We were on a Danube river cruise last December, I was wearing my Sabres hat, and met a family from Lockport. That was right after that 10 game W streak. He told me maybe I shouldn't wear that hat because the Sabres lost 2. I switched to my Bills hat but in hindsight, the guy saw the future. I put the Sabres hat away but guess it didn't help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 If you live in WNY, you may be surprised how many Bills fans proudly display their gear throughout the US. Even after moving away Bills fans remain solidly loyal. Even during the draught. A major reason Im a Bills fan - even though Im not from WNY. Go Bills! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Survivor Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) I slept in that park last summer after deciding to spend the last of my budget on Iberian ham and cervezas rather than a hostel. You've got to love no open container or vagrancy laws. Absolutely beautiful park and city, hope I make it back some day. Have fun!

If that was you, have fun in Spain. Very cool. Last year I was in Madrid as the resident Director of a Winter Spanish immersion study abroad high school program. I researched where I could watch the Bills-Jaguars playoff game and found the James Joyce Irish pub in downtown Madrid. Ran into a Nichols school grad and his wife who were there to see their daughter get married to a Madrileño. We had an awesome time pulling for our beloved Bills and were even joined later by a father/son tandem from Cinci (who were grateful that we had both contributed to Andy Dalton's fund lol!)

The cool part is that you can usually still watch your original team play in person.

I told her NO NO and briskly walked on. Those women looked rough and were old and looked like plump witches with stringy, gray hair.
