Bummer, a ground delay in DC has put our (well, I'm traveling alone, but my Mafia friends are also on this flight) is likely going to make us miss the connect. That said, we're moving forward people - make it to DC, then we figure out to how to get to the 'Burgh ?? They should give away flights, just delay them and get rich off of the airport bar prices! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin, a Pittsburgh native, set aside his tickets for me earlier this year. I'm totally pumped! I've never seen the Bills play as an away team and never been to a night game. I had a sneaking suspicion it was going to be flexed, even though Bulldog disagreed with me when I got on the air in early October... ? So who's in? My college buddies and I do an away game every year. It’s our way of keeping together as we’ve moved around the country. We’re on year 9. We went to Nashville this year. There were 19 of us and it was incredible. As I’ll be 40 next year, the five day hangover was worth it. I’m 99% sure we won that game. The nicest (see: not best) stadium we’ve been to is ATL. A giant stadium-circling Jumbotron is amazing and $5 beers and $1 hot dogs were a nice added bonus. All of that said, there was zero “spirit” in that stadium. It felt dead. I won’t go through the entire list, but I’ll always think Miami’s stadium is the best. Why? Because there are four real dolphins fans. There are 20,000 people who needed something to do for the 45 minutes before they left and found tickets for a nickel, and the rest of the stadium is full of HAMMERED bills fans. This was pre-jumping through tables. This was just true alcoholism at its finest. Baltimore’s stadium is as stale as ATL. Next year is Vegas. Pray for us. Strangely enough, I’ve never been to PIT. I’m very interested to hear your experience. Edited December 14, 2019 by stevestojan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 For the record, in a crappy hotel near Dulles - this is going to be a “drive to finish” adventure tomorrow am ? This is now two 18+ hour delays in a row in my last two flights. At least United keeps refunding me, though I’d rather just get where I’m going on the same day I leave...

judman Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 The drive here was horrible! Rain turned into snow at Jamestown and we were going 35 mph until we got south of Erie. But we saw plenty of fans along the way coming early like us. Gonna run around town here today with some family. I'm behind the Bills bench today, correction... TONIGHT! Have fun tonight, Bills Mafia. GOGOILLS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
