Process Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Groin said: Bills games are rough to be sure, in particular when the team is losing. I'm not going too in depth with this as it happened a long time ago, and plus I don't want to get banned for telling a horrible story of years ago. I have heard that ownership is trying to clean this up and that friends in family in WNY have confirmed that the game day experience is a LOT better than it used to be. My childhood friend from Buffalo and I bought amazing seats for the Jags/Bills game in 2004. We were finally professional guys and decided to live it up (by getting better seats) but only for a day. Within 10 minutes of getting to our seat an obviously drunken and belligerent Bills fan puked all over a girl (she was wearing a Jags jersey!) who was probably no more than 13. It took security like half hour to get there. So we watch a terrible half of football and decide to pee before heading back out to the tailgate (again, suppressing details to protect the innocent and the guilty). We went up a couple of levels since the bathrooms were packed at our level and a drunken guy who's wearing Zubaz cuts the line, tries to pee in the sink, is shoved, then falls down in pees... in the air. We saw fights heading back to the tailgate. We saw drunken people crashing into the asphalt. From that point on I just go to backers' bars. It's a heckuva lot safer. I don't go to as many games as I used too. I think you are right, it used to be worse. Edited December 10, 2019 by Process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobby Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) Went to a Bills/Patriots game in Buffalo this year. I won't ever go to a game in Buffalo again. The combination of idiotic Bills fans and Patriots fans made the game a waste of time. By the end of the game, I was watching the behavior of the fans more than the actual game because we had women and kids with us and there were losers trying to pick fights everywhere around us. I love my Bills, but Bills Mafia = drunken idiots in mass quantities doing stupid *****. Edited December 10, 2019 by BigBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Junction Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Worst I have ever seen was in KC.... went to a Chiefs/Raiders game with my uncle back in the late 90’s.... Chiefs fans actually torched? a Raiders fan’s car in the parking lot. ?. Freaking insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we should be calling out others as being classless. Every fanbase has them Go to a Jets game and then comeback and comment.

I don't disagree with what you are saying. A lot of them are rude and entitled, but in my experience there are normal fans as well. Yes indeed. I was in Buffalo for the Pats* game. There were several Pats* fans in our section and one right next to me with his wife. We talked. They won as usual. After the game he said it was nice to sit next to a nice Bills fan. They are not all bad but many of them are. Edited December 10, 2019 by Bob in STL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been traveling to New England for business monthly for the past 8 years. They. are absolutely the rudest, most entitled, and most obnoxious fans in the country.

I find the fastest way to get a Patriots* fan to shut up is to ask them their favorite Steve Grogan game.

(drunks excepted, but they hate everybody) However, a family member wore his Bills jersey to a game in Pittsburg a while back, and, it wasn't pretty. He had to leave the game because of the abuse from the Pitts fans. I predict things will not be entirely rosy next Sunday night....... This mirrors my experience as a teen at 3Rivers, had my awesome Bills hat stolen by some drunk Steelers fans AFTER already suffering through the Monday night debacle that was the game—talk about classy.
