If Bills Games Become Too Expensive, Will You Switch Teams?

I don't have to, I already know what 99.9% of the answers are. True Bills fans wouldn't ever consider switching for any reason.

 

What do true Bills fans do, exactly?  Do they get Bills tattoos?  Are they the ones who drink out of ass cracks?  It's only been 30 years, so I'm still learning what it means to be a Bills fan.  I should probably start another thread so I can be enlightened.

Maybe you're over thinking it.  After all this time of being crappy to mediocre, and you're still a Bills fan, then you are a true fan for life.  The rest is details...

True fans support their team through the good and bad. Some choose tattoos, some take shots from bowling balls, some get ketchup and mustard squirted on them, some jump through tables etc. Some go to the game quietly, enjoy themselves and go home completely sober afterwards. Bottom line, true fans don't switch teams just because, unless you're a Pats fan. Half their fans jumped on the wagon once they started winning. It's gross.

We try to go to one game a year from California. Four plane tix, AirBnb for at least a week (not going for a couple days if I'm traveling from across country), rental car and then a minimum of 5 tix to the game. I don't even want to know the cost, but it's something we do and love. I couldn't imagine rooting for another team.

I'm not jumping anywhere.  If you'd taken the time to get some facts/context, you'd know that.  But that's how society is today.  They read headlines and consider themselves educated.  Peace out, bro.  Go Bills!

You yourself said that if the Bills were to price you out you would consider latching on to another team closer to you (Jets/Giants). That sounds odd to me, but it's all good. To each his own. Have a good night Gug. 

Go Bills. Signed, Bills fan for life, lol. Sorry, had to do it.

This is more directed toward fans who have to drive a long way to attend a game.

 

I drive over 5 hours to get to Orchard Park.  With the ticket prices and the tailgating options, I don't mind one bit.  I only go to one home game/year.

 

But it's expensive.  One home game costs me a total of about $700 when it's all said and done with tickets (2), lodging, tailgate food/beer, etc.

 

When the Bills build their new stadium downtown and jack the prices up ... AND make the tailgating experience one that dictates you eat their food and drink their beer at their prices .... I won't go anymore.

 

I live an hour north of Albany, NY.  A 3.5 hour (tops) drive to the Meadowlands/MetLife.  Part of me thinks that, if the Bills price me out, I'd just latch onto a team that's closer to me.

 

I've always said that if I lived 2 hours closer to Buffalo, I'd be a season ticket holder.  I could do that with one of the New Jersey teams and be able to afford going to games.

 

Anyone else giving this any thought?  I hate the thought of being gouged out of my fandom, but it looks like it's heading in that direction.

And how much is a game ticket at Giants stadium????? Plus tolls etc. come on man you can’t be serious

I 'd still root for the Bills but would stop going to games.

 

if they moved, I'd probably stop watching NFL football ? altogether.

 

It would have to get pretty darn expensive to scare me off entirely, but I’d watch WAY LESS non-Bills NFL than I used to if they left WNY. It might become my NBA level of interest, ahhh...maybe when the playoffs come around....

 

There’s always TV, which is a different experience, but the best way to “watch”, as usual. We went to the PGA Tour Finals last Sunday. Awesome to be there, see the guys a few yards away and experience the course. We were eager to get home to see the last few holes. It’s just BETTER on TV.
