Given that the poll number is running at 92.41% right now, I'd say you nailed it!!!

 

 

Thanks.  ?  One doesn’t need a mathematical mind to think analytically on what I’ve read here over the years.   Lol

It's definitely on my bucket list.  I've never stepped foot in the city.  Once I retire from the military, my plan is to make it up there.  I've been to several away games though.

I find Bills fans like you really interesting.

 

Apparently, you aren't a WNYer, which raises the question: Why in the world are you a Bills fan? 

 

I can't really think of any reason why 3rd party fans would latch onto the Bills.

I mean I can't speak for this poster but I'm not from Buffalo nor do I have any sort of real ties to the city outside this message board.  I mean if you even want to call it that?

 

With me when I started watched football in the early 90's the Bills were solid and I always heard my father speak fondly of the area when he used to travel there for work.  

 

So I guess that's where liking the Bills started with me.  It's waned at times over the years but it's still there

I have never even been east of Vegas in the USA


I was a huge Bruce Smith fan first, he was my favorite player in the league when I was 12 .  I then suffered the pain of 4 Super Bowl losses while most of my friends were cowboys fans. 
 

I knew literally no one else in my western Canadian town who liked the bills, and I reveled in that.
 

The pain of the SB losses solidified me as a Bills fan forever. I will never jump off this bandwagon I jumped on in 1990.

 

I feel a badge of honor sticking with this team through the highs and lows. It’s now a part of who I am and a metaphor for resiliency in my life.

 

I don’t give up on things I love.

I have been to games at the Rockpile guite a few times including watching Cookie Gilchrist run over and they the Jets for 243 yds in 1963. I still have the souvenir coin from the 1st game at Rich Stadium against the Skins. Haven't been back for a game in a few years now. I have seen games in Cinci, Cleveland, Indy and Detroit. Turned down an opportunity to see then in Philly because I didn't feel comfortable taking my wife to a game there.

How many have been to an NFL doubleheader?  In August 1969, the Bills played the Bears and the Browns played the Packers in Cleveland.  I was there and it was a long evening.

FBF, you’re name suggests you live in FL, and myself in Tampa.  I was born and raised in Buffalo, but moved to Tampa the week of the Bills/Giants SB.  I’ve been to every Bills/Bucs since 93, a ton of Bills/Miami games, and Bills/Jax games including the 17 playoff game.  It was awesome as the lower level was all Jags fans, but the entire upper deck was a sea of red, white, and royal blue.  Sucked that we lost, but that defense was impressive.

I've been to a bunch of the same games as you.  I always have a good time tipping a few with Bills fans pregame in the parking lot.  Bills fans really know how to tailgate.

9/11/88 with my dad. I flew up to Buffalo from Florida to go on our yearly fishing trip to Canada. He met me at the airport on Saturday with 2 tickets to Sunday's game against My Yami. Bills won a yawner 9-6. I had been to the old Rockpile before when I was growing up, but this was really special. Turns out it would be the last time I would see my dad. He died suddenly 2 months later.

I’m sorry.  Glad you had that time with him though.

Never in the same day, but I once did a trip where we went to Cleveland for a Bills game on Sunday & a Giants@ Indianapolis game on Monday in 1990.  

I also traveled to opening day in Buffalo vs Miami in 2010, came home that night & then went to the Baltimore @ Jets game the next evening the weekend that Met-Life Stadium opened.
