Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Wyoming. Not our neighbor Vermont, not NC and Florida where a lot of New Yorkers retire - Wyoming. Now I know Josh Allen is big there, but to outdo these other states, it must be a pretty high proportion of the people in the state. Because I think Wyoming only has a bit more than half a million residents. That's about half the residents of the Buffalo/Niagara Falls metropolitan area.

Warcodered Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) I mean there is no other big school team in the state just UW everyone is a Pokes fan. Allen is probably the most fun sports story to come out of here in a long time. Plus a lot of people end up being Broncos fans with them being the only Major sports team even remotely close by. At the same time as UW fans we hate CSU. Buffalo and Josh Allen just fit a nice niche I think. Edited September 30, 2020 by Warcodered 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Interesting to see Colorado and Iowa so high. Wyoming makes sense, because of Allen. But you'd think the other top states would all be in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I lived in Charlotte NC for about 5 years. There are a half dozen Bills bars there. But the amazing thing was when St. Bonaventure played Charlotte (when they were in the A-10). That was crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got this Buffalo family owned pizza place 'Homeslice' which has pretty good beef on weck and probably the best wings in town. The joint practice with the panthers was a Buffalo invasion. And in hockey related news when ever the Sabres come down the crowd is usually 50/50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a weird Sunday afternoon during March Madness so the locals were probably at home rooting against Duke. Our guys ran them with about 70% BUF fans. There was a party bus from the CLT Bills bar (Tavern On the Tracks) that we met up with. Jeeze, I was old then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metbill Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I am in SC, Myrtle Beach, and there is a large Bills group here. I have 3 other Bills fans in my neighborhood. On a side: I have some family in Raleigh and they claim there are more Bills fans there than Panther fans. I am sure a bit of a reach, but everyone I encounter from Raleigh mentions the high number of Bills fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, prior to the Broncos game last year Josh Allen made it very clear to the Denver press he is "carrying a bone" for that Border Wars/CSU rivalry aka "Sheep Week" https://www.denverpost.com/2019/11/20/josh-allen-wyoming-csu-football/ Someone on social media described this as "Josh Allen goes Full On Drive-By".

I live in Concord, and there are at least six (that I know of - meaning I either know them personally, or I see Bills flags/merch when I drive by) houses in my neighborhood that are Bills fans. There's not another out-of-town team that I know of that has more than maybe 1 house that flies flags of those teams. There's even this special one - used to fly Patriots flags, now have TB Bucs stickers all over their cars 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynard Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I think that’s awesome. Based on 70k twitter posts though. I’d guess there are more fans of Buffalo in either NC or Florida though from my time living there. Jesus, I’d have people nearly take me off the road in Florida with my huge Bills decoy on the back of my truck because they were so excited. Couldn’t go anywhere wearing Bills gear without someone stopping me either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
