Nashville game October 11 on sale now

[djp14150]

Just like last year Im flying down to my brothers and friends from Buffalo traveling down. His wife’s family also Cingular down ( they are STHs)

Tickets went on sale today.

[Augie]

That’s my birthday, I’ll be 29 (again).  It seems like a sign from God. I’ll be there again if things look right by then. I’m 2-0 there with the Bills! 

[KellyToTasker]

Last year, Bills fans took over the place. Great weekend. Planning on the same this season. I already have my tickets arranged for purchase (through our local Bills Backers). 

[Virgil]

It’s going to take some maneuvering, but I want to go to this game.  I’ve grown to love the city

Took my family last year and we'll be there again.  The crowd was at least 50/50 Bills fans, and more likely 60/40 Bills.  If was a fantastic atmosphere.  I hope we can take over Bridgestone again. 

 

I'd recommend this away game to everyone. Nashville is a fantastic town to visit, you can walk everywhere from your downtown hotel, there are tons of great restaurants and bars, honkey tonks and clubs.  It's not all country music either, there is a fantastic and diverse music scene in Nashville.  You can even walk right to the stadium for the game.  There's never a reason to have to get a cab or Uber.  All of the bars downtown were full of Bills fans that weekend flying Bills flags and banners.  The streets were packed with people wearing Bills colors.  It was a great party atmosphere.

 

To their credit, Titans fans are nice and hospitable.  They really do have Southern Hospitality in Nashville.  You can't say that at every away game. There is good natured bantering between fans but always with a smile, and I didn't see a single altercation or even a heated argument between Bills and Titan fans.

 

Bottom line, if you can only go to one or two away games, you should really look at going to Nashville Week 6. 

[BuffaloBillies]

I got jumped at 2:30 am and knocked the F out the night before the music city miracle. Cops and firemen woke me up with smelling salt. 20% on me being drunk, 80% on those three kicking me in the face for wearing a bills hat. Worst weekend ever, obviously.... (still went to the game the next day, albeit with a concussion I later learned). I haven't been back since.... but maybe it's time. Go Bills! F those 3, but I'm sure they don't represent Nashville. 

[Aussie Joe]

I went to the Bills Titans game in 2015... had a great time in Nashville..

 

Unfortunately it appears unlikely international borders will be open in time for me to head back in 2020.,, would have definitely done the Vegas/Nashville back to back games otherwise...

There is NOTHING like a Bills home pre-game tailgate. Post-games are cool too. 

 

But in all the road games I’ve been to in different NFL cities, Nashville has the most unique and ideal post-game scenario. Uber to the game, hit the Bills lot with a disposable cooler, enjoy the win (hopefully!) then take the pedestrian bridge into town. Broadway is great, The Gulch is an easy walk or Uber from there. 

 

I love Nashville and highly recommend it if you are looking for a road game and have never been. 

 

It’s a great city, I hope they can manage the growth. 

 

(We used to have a condo there and I miss that place.) 

 

EDIT: Nashville is in my Top Ten for places to live once my wife retires. She loves it there too. It’s a college town, which is great adding to the vibe with Vandy, Belmont, Lipscomb (where our son went, love those people!), Fisk and Middle Tennessee State. I worry about the growth long-term, and the weather is not too bad, but not my idea of ideal.  Still, GREAT place!

People still really think there will be fans at these games???

[JoPoy88]

I’d be wary of buying tix to any games (or anything, for that matter) right now. Especially don’t buy from brokers.

[Kirby Jackson]

I have a flight but no tickets yet. I’m like @Virgil in that I fell in love with Nashville. I vowed to not miss a Bills game played there. It was so much fun last year.

 

We play there again in 2021 too.

I went to the Sabres game in Nashville back in January.  I couldn't imagine how crazy it would be down there for a Bills game

[Punching Bag]

Last away game I went to where I was going to fly for the game was New Orleans and Katrina hit and it was moved to San Antonio and I could not get a airline ticket.

All the airlines but USAir gave credit on future fight.  Went to use it following year and I was told credit expired - it was a one year credit from day of purchase not date of flight and I purchased it in May.  I have never flown on them since and I used to fly a lot for work; told company if they were going to book me on USAir send someone else and this resulted in flights on other airlines at prices businesses pay.  They lost thousands of dollars in sales due to them being cheap.

I’ll be at the game along with 3 other Bills fans making the trip from ATL.  If there aren’t fans... obviously I won’t.   Not sure why we all need to live our lives full of fear and apprehension.

No, the constant need to jump in and rain on everyone’s parade by “doom and gloom” folks is obnoxious.  
 

We all know what’s going on, and that there may or may not be fans at the start of the season or at all. If people want to be optimistic in their view and talk about going to the games (which very well could happen), just let them.

so the optimists shant be disturbed, and the pessimists (or, dare i say, realists) should be shouted down by you. Sounds like a good system.

My approach (not sure if it is right) was to book my flights for the games I’m (hopefully) going to. I will stay with my brother in Buffalo, waiting to try to book the Venetian for Vegas and have a friend that works for AJ Capital that owns the Thompson & Graduate in Nashville. He reserved a room for me at a rate. I don’t have tickets to either road game and am going with my brother to the opener. 
 

Basically, I’m trying to lock in as much as I can while things are as cheap as they will be. So far, I’ve spent $44 out of pocket for all of that. If we are unable to attend, I’ll get the miles and trace credits that I used back. I have no overhead for the Nashville or Buffalo at this point. Vegas will probably take some sort of deposit but that will be it. I’m not going to purchase the tickets until we get a lot closer. The prices won’t be that drastically different. Vegas is going to be brutally expensive but it’s going to be what it’s going to be.

In a thread where everyone is talking about going to a game, yes, nobody is forcing you to partake in conversation about and/or consider going to a game.  
 

Let us optimistically talk without you going all “Karen” on everyone. 
 

If there’s no fans, there’s no fans... so be it.   We all know this is a possibility.

Or we could all agree that EVERYONE knows the situation. No one needs to come to TBD to learn about COVID-19. If you want to argue about what will happen take it to off the wall or PPP. The main board is to talk football. We may or may not be able to attend games. NONE of us know for sure so there’s no reason to argue about it here.

I personally was just honestly surprised that so many think there's even a solid chance that fans will be in the stands this season. But there is a remote possibility so dream on...

I bought extra tickets for my buffalo friends friends once they know they can go.

 

my brother lives there so I’ll travel there that weekend either way...game or not, stadium open or not.

 

 

[Gugny]

I've never been to Nashville.  Been on my bucket list for a long time.  I have friends who've seen the Bills there and their sentiment seems to be the same as many in this thread - that they love the city.

 

Personally, I don't think there will be fans at the games this season.  If there are, I wouldn't hesitate going and this would be high on my list for a road game since I have two airline ticket vouchers from a canceled April vacation.

This is is something that could vary by each stste. Tennessee May be one of the last states to close this. NFL could say no crowds for games and you get full refunds.

My my brother has lived in Nashville for 25 years. I’ve been there numerous times.

 

the stadium is downtown right across the river from where all the music bars and other tourist stuff is.  The hockey arena is also there.

 

its fun to be there on any weekend.  

 

Ive also travelled there a few times for Sabres game there and went with family.

Would’ve been nice if the Vegas game would be in December. Have a feeling come week 4, things are still going to be dicey.  Luckily for me, I can just drive down the road to the stadium.   I was planning on putting together the tailgate but it’s looking to be a major headache after talking to my industry people that would help.  I’ll just join the masses if it seems masses are allowed.
 

Nashville will have to wait, again.

 

If everyone works out, I’ll probably drive down to Arizona like I do every time we play in Glendale.  One of my ex clients is a huge KC fan and he demands that we go to the TNF game.  Another ex client says he’s flying my wife and I down to Miami week 2.  My best friend is a niner fan so that MNF game looks like a no brainer.  
 

All I need now is 5 more stimulus checks!!

The Bills will aslo travel to Nashville in 2021, so there is always that as a backup plan.

It depends on when though. This yrs game there was a chance of it happening in week 16. Same true next year being the Sunday after Xmas and before ny yrs.

 

Im willing  to bet Buffalo at Tampa in 2021 happens in London.

Man, My first time in Nashville, I was sad because I was there with my girlfriend and there were so many women around. ? slightly different experience.

 

and my Uber driver there said the wildest weekend he ever had there was when the Bills played the titans.

It’s really not too bad.  I live in Vegas so, I’d watch the raider game, wait til Friday then head to Nashville til Monday/Tuesday.  Then fly into buffalo, see my mom in Dunkirk for a few days and head home.  Would be nice if it were spread out a bit more but it works pretty good if the pandemic (and the stimulus checks) allow it.

Why don’t you think the international borders will be open by then? The way our government is pushing things to open now surely our borders will be open long before then. Not sure how many foreigners would want to visit, but the borders should be open.

I went to Nashville back in February just before all the Covid craziness and I can say that Nashville is a fun town. That stadium is also in a perfect place just a short walk from all the downtown bars. 

 

But I don't know if I would buy tickets to any sporting event any time soon.

I like this idea and may copy it.  Esp. with Southwest, you can hold the credit for up to a year at least, and many other airlines have leniency right now.  I'm looking at PHX game!

Guys, as I mentioned in another thread, have a great time and be loud.  For me, no vaccine, no Dan (my real first name).  I’m making a personal choice if I get sick, my kids suffer even with health insurance especially as I’m in medical device sales so 65% of my income is incentive comp based so knocking me out for a couple of weeks assuming I recover (I’m very healthy so helps) is just not worth it.

 

Dont get me wrong as I love live games, and fly my family up from FL every year for a game and am up to 18-20 family members every September for a great time.  Seriously though, have a great time and scream it out for our Bills.
