We are highly respected and considered a top fanbase and the name Bills Mafia looks bad to who? Old "get off my lawn!" guys who nobody wants to hear the opinion of.

I travel to Buffalo for a game or two a year and to an away game or two a year. Will definitely go to SanFran and Vegas games. Other than Steelers the Raiders fans seem to travel well to Bills games. No other team stands out as having a large presence in Ralph/New Era that I can recall. Pats fans used to come to Buffalo in droves. But I doubt that happens anymore no that Tawmmy and Grawnk jilted them. Giants fans make the trek once every 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is table jumping at every away game I've been at over the last few seasons. A main reason for going to away games is to bring the Orchard Park atmosphere to other cities. Bonus points if we can make them clutch their pearls. I'm not a huge fan of the nonsense, but it happens where ever BillsMafia shows up, and outsiders love us for it.

The word mafia (Italian: [ˈmaːfja]) derives from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which, roughly translated, means "swagger", but can also be translated as "boldness" or "bravado". So it's an Italian term that has grown larger and is now used to describe organized crime in other countries as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
