Listen man everybody has opinions. There's about 40 50,000 people that love those lots 

 

And I'm not going to judge them or call them immature or less than a Bill's fan as any of us

 

In fact bar stool and a lot of documentaries have gone through those lots and made videos about bills Mafia that went all over the country..  I don't think you could look at some of the shenanigans and table jumping and then just flat out judge them... If you walked through those lots you would find families, friends, generations of Bills fans, connections made forever, all because of the Buffalo Bills

 

I choose to look at things with the glass half full 

 

In fact back in the day the rock pile was a crazy party.. the fans used to bring keggers into the stands.. Bills fans have always been wild

 

There's just the internet now to let it all out

 

And OP did say his fiance wanted to go through a table

 

 

I agree. I unfortunately have never attended Hammer's Lot, but when there we went from tailgate to tailgate to tailgate.....each one and every area everyone was very nice and welcoming...was invited to get in a hut tub also where some guy dressed like Santa and others were in lol. I personally don't think it matters much which ones you go to or how many you attend, from my experience everyone and all ones I did/have done were great.

It blows my mind the hate against ranch.  I use ranch more than any other condiment combined.  Fries, baked potatoes, carrots, wings, pizza, bread sticks, cheese sticks etc....it all gets ranch.

i don't think anyone has a problem with ranch.  you just use it like an #######.

Of course 

 

What it really boils down to is some crowds think all that partying is disrespectful.. but I could tell you that the rock pile was a massive crazy party 

 

And everybody is there because the Buffalo Bills.. and it creates a massive family 

 

When you look at it like this.. 40,000 people bonding over the same interest.. magical

Yup, every where we went we were offered food, alcohol etc. And yes very much like a huge family type environment.

Are you talking Bills fans all over the world? Or like possible super bowl parade numbers? 

 

All over the world absolutely more than 3.5 million fans... 

 

I think the bills could literally draw 1 million plus to a victory parade..

This is the largest gathering of people ever recorded.  Cubs World Series parade is 7th.  Rod F'ing Stewart is 9th....Rod Stewart.  That just blows my mind.

Bills Mafia is basically a ranch hate group that happens to have a football team in common.  It should be renamed bleu cheese mafia.  You should know better than to troll about ranch and boneless wings by now.

Anyone going to their 1st Bills game has to go to Hammer's to see Ken Johnson (AKA Pinto Ron) get a ketchup & mustard bath.  You might also get a bowling ball shot if you're into that stuff.

Ted's and Anderson's for fast food. 

 

Cafe Aroma (Williamsville) for Italian. 

 

Eagle House (Williamsville) for American.

 

Trust me Bro, you will NOT be sorry!!!! I will be up there later this month and will hit all 4 of these great places.

This except Anderson's. They're very bland and expensive for what they are. They're like nursing home food.

All he said was if you want the adult experience go to hammers lot. 
 

If she’s looking for a rowdier table type experience to go somewhere else. It’s his opinion and it seems spot on. 
 

It’s certainly not a reason to call people morons and doofuses. Do you talk like this to people in real life or is it exclusively and anonymous internet thing? 
 

 

 

I formally apologize to all the MENSA's that jump through burning tables and shotgun beers out of their girlfriend's buttcracks. 

My bad if I've offended anyone. I'll stay in the "boring" lot for tailgating. 

[Happy Days Lois & Clark]

Check out Riverworks. It’s a unique, fun, interesting place with a variety of things going on there.

 

[machine gun kelly]

I think someone referenced Canada as it’s been so hard to get into since the pandemic.  If you stay on the American side, go to cave of the winds as it’s so much fun and can do the maid of the mist.  Just

make sure to tell you’re future wife she’s going to get sopping wet even with rain slickers and for her bring a scrunchie or two. Cheap air dry clothes and no expensive sunglasses and sneakers.  They will not survive.  It’s definitely worth it.  When I flew

my kids up two years ago (our yearly bills game trip) they absolutely loved this adventure from someone who’s never seen it.  You literally walk under a small portion of the falls.

Remember it is fast food. There is no place in these parts that resembles Anderson's. I smother it in the au juus and throw lots of black pepper on it. Then, I follow it up with vanilla custard. I pretty much only eat like this up in Williamsville. 

 

Btw in terms of price, a few months ago I went to Nathan's and had 2 hot dogs and a small coke. It cost me $11.50. I'm not making this up. I am not a cheap person by any means but doesn't that seem excessive?

      $5.50 for a small coke does seem excessive.😲

Almot every item I but is going up in price every day.

I hear ya man, and valid question.  Ive been to many Bills game out in the west coast, but every year I am always like this is the year I go to Buffalo.  But I would either have friends flake, money or work get in the way, or even my girlfriend (not this one, past girlfriends) flake.  
 

It’s been a major item on my list right next to a trip to Portugal (I’m half Portuguese and found my family tree when my grandma passed showing where we are from) to see where my family started on my Portuguese side.  
 

My current girlfriend though is all about doing the things that mean the most to me.  And wow, did she come through with a big one for me.  This is why I’m gonna marry this one!  

I’m gonna paraphrase  the great Bart Scott “Don’t wait”!!

You think that is bad, I took the family to Disney World about 3 years ago, 3 hot dogs, a water, a large pop & an order of fries $46.  When the guy handed me my order he said with a big smile "have a magical day!."  I told him to go f*ck himself.

Haha, no I am well aware of the Disney prices, we stay at a condo down in Orlando about 3 miles from the park.  We go there every fall. Disney is the biggest ripoff there is bar none.  My son & I usually don't go to the parks anymore when we go down there as we have been to them so many times and like I said they are huge ripoff.  My daughter and wife still go to the parks as my daughter is still into princesses and that kind of stuff.  But yeah, I am well aware of the prices, guy just caught me on the wrong day.

We do the swan / dolphin and usually have some extended family along. Always put everything on the Bonvoy Amex that week. At least I can rack up enough bonvoy points to bankroll lodging for 1-2 other trips. I think wife and I stayed at the Westin in Napa a few nights for “free” after our last Disney trip 😂
