Uh, is there another fan base who has had to sit through more irrelevance than the bills? Browns? Titans have had 3 straight winning seasons and a playoff appearance, I believe.

Dan Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 In our section... it was all Bills fans and about 5 Titan fans. Bills mafia definitely took over Nashville! It was truly unbelievable how many Bills fans were there. So much fun! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may be small market, but our fanbase is quite larger than a lot of people realize Many economically displaced people all over the country. They may physically leave but they still are fans. I last lived in WNY in 1988 but make it back almost every year for a game and usually make a road game as well. Rams, Chargers, Cardinals, Chiefs, Bears, Vikings, Raiders, Packers, Broncos, Seahawks in the last several years. Steelers, Colts, Lions, Bengals, Browns in the past.

Bongo Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Was at the game yesterday and ran into a co-worker who is a Titan’s fan. Saw him this morning and he said the number of Bills fans was crazy. Felt like he was at a Bills home game. Said that in his section he was completely surrounded by Bills fans. He wasn’t impressed by the Titans support given that it was a big game for them.

Best fanbase in the NFL. Well I’m originally from TN, but moved to a small town south of Syracuse. Didn’t work out there, so I moved back. Cost of living was a huge part of the reason. I followed the Bills before the move and even after.

May Day 10 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It is interesting from a Titans' fan perspective reading those threads there. They are bickering with one another about the reasons, but I don't know if any of them are correct. The team is bad? 1 or 2 bounces or calls yesterday and they are tied for 1st in their Division and also tied for both wild card spots with 4 winnable games coming up. With us, and many teams in the Northeast, being a fan is kind of an identity and a source of pride. We feel like we have notoriety and can effect games. It also helps whip us into a frenzy with how McDermott and the players always seem to acknowledge us. This does not exist at all in a lot of/most of the 'warm' markets. The Predators seem to have built that a bit there, although they are consistently in the Stanley Cup conversation through this stretch. Do they have trouble selling tickets without opposing fans? Or is it a Sabres' type situation where people own the tickets and see an opportunity to sell them above value to travelling fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you like the tailgating in a downtown setting? That could be the Bills future. As others mentioned, it's definitely easier. There was no real tailgating. Maybe a few Tenn fans in their season ticket holder lot, with small setups. And a couple of large corporate tents. So there is no "real" tailgating, if that is what you want. But Nashville has it setup so getting in and out of the stadium pushes you through the Broadway bar strip. Didnt have to pack a cooler, didnt have to pack a grill, didnt have to pack supplies, didnt have to go grocery shopping the day before to stock up, didnt have to get out early just to get the fire going, didnt have to start cleaning up and packing up to make the game. Just got in an uber and went to the bars for a couple hours, then walked to the stadium. Oh, it rained the entire morning (9-11am), but we didnt notice because we were in the bars. It let up right as we left for the stadium, so no being wet or trapped in rain gear for the whole day. I come from a line of intense tailgaters, some of my dad's parties were legendary, but this was so easy and all the BS is left to someone else. You can still meet up with friends and have the pre-game camaraderie. I could get used to it. Edited October 8, 2019 by DrDawkinstein 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
