Now is sunny Florida where there are almost NO taxes compared to King Cuomo's reign. He made me leave. Lots are leaving the state for the same reason. Now farmers will be shutting barn doors. It is sad! Im thinking Im out of here when I retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in the 80s, early 90s. Partly because they were really good then and probably the catholic thing. My dad still lives there and still follows ND.

Whites Bay Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Grew up in Rochester, now live in the North Country. Is that Bills territory? It depends on whether Fox is slated to carry the game but decides to broadcast an NFC match up instead. Had to head to the local sports bar for last year's Lions game.

TigerJ Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'm now in the Rochester area - firmly in Bills territory. Until several months ago, I was in the "Twin Tiers" area near Bath and Corning. They are probably 50/50 Bills/Giants.That was the weakest Bills fan area I've ever been in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalophil1948 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Born in England, raised in Buffalo, at 18 joined Navy. Came back after a 6 year stint, couldn't find decent work in early 90's. Moved to Chitcago for 8yrs, Vegas for 8 now been in Phoenix for 15. Brains been fried from the heat and a few other things. Not sure if I could move back cause I'm looking for a sweatshirt when the temp gets down to 70. But everywhere I go its Bill's country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Gump Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 On 7/18/2019 at 12:39 PM, Shaw66 said: Yes, unless they've changed the policy. The theory is that the distant season-ticket holders aren't fans, they're investors. They're buying tickets to scalp on StubHub, etc. Bills don't want fans of visiting teams to have access to a lot of tickets. They figure that if someone local is buying the tickets, he's buying them to attend games. Plus, they want the tickets to sell to real fans when they get good. If a bunch of NYC guys own season tickets and the Bills and Jets are the two powers in the AFC East in five years, there will be tons of Jets fans at New Era for the Jets game. McBeane don't want that. My friend lives in Houston and has season tickets sent to him every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 14 hours ago, Logic said: Yeah, the bar DOES get less and less busy once the Bills are eliminated from playoff contention. It was nuts in week 17 of the year before, though. That's where I watched the Dalton miracle throw and the Bills breaking the drought, and man, what a scene. It IS gonna be strange to have the Bills play on Thanksgiving. I've been (half) joking that it's kind of gonna ruin what is otherwise usually an enjoyable, relaxing holiday for me. ? Gonna watch that one at home. Got NFL Gamepass. Some weeks I do Cheerful Bullpen, some weeks I watch at home. Turkey Day seems like a logical "at home" choice for that one, on account of close proximity to pie. Copy that. Makes sense.

JESSEFEFFER Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 (edited) My wife and I were in the Charlotte area when the Bills beat the Packers, 12/14/14. We watched the game at Tavern on the Tracks and had a great time. The president of the Bills Backers chapter explained how Erie county was the #1 source of people relocating to Mecklenberg/Union Counties although he said he was from Chautauqua County, specifically Jamestown. Watching all the people there, many with their families, it struck me that staying close to their team amidst a fervent community of fans in exile was their desperate attempt to stay connected with home. It will be interesting to see how they represent in Spartanburg and at the Panthers preseason game. I'll bet the rest of us notice them. As for my location, there are many Browns and Steelers fans in the Jamestown area. I am told that in the 60's the Browns were the featured NFL game most every week and the Steelers great teams of the 70's created a large following. I'd be interested to know the actual breakdown.
