DisplacedBillsFan Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hey everyone! First, I hope your day is off to an amazing start! Now, to the reason for the post; Can anyone give me an idea of the atmosphere at the stadium for preseason games? I guess I’m mostly interested in if the tailgating still happens and if all the pre-game shenanigans are still a fun time. I understand the stadium during the game may not be as rockin’ as the regular season. My schedule is going to make it tough to make the trip up during the regular season, so considering attending during the preseason. Thank you in advance for any information. I appreciate it!

Greg S Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Preseason is basically this. Stadium will be around half full Tailgating is the best part of it because the game means nothing but everyone is happy because football is back. Tonight we do have football HOF game 8:00 PM on FOX Steelers and Cowboys 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete opposite of a regular season game day. These are the games people bring their kids to. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg S Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) The only thing we all care about is the Bills escape with no injuries. Don't care if they win or lose. Although I do want to see the starters shake off the rust and show improvement as opening day approaches.

I’ve been to other stadiums, but now that I’m back closer to the area again (just over a 4 hour drive), I’m looking forward to attending home games again.

First Round Bust Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 went to a pre-season game three years ago, which was Josh Allen debut against Panthers, he started and played entire second half and showed everybody that great arm and moves while running for his life against 3-4-5th stringers. so that was entertaining as well as seeing and hearing his passes hit his receivers... I bought the best tickets as low as I could by the tunnel where the team enter-exit the field and the kids loved it when we moved down to the wall by the first row and field and saw all the players up close, you wont get better seats at the lowest prices, this is the value of preseason esp good for the kids to see things up close as compared to regular season esp higher prices this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 It may be different this preseason since fans were locked out last year. Anxious to attend any game right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) These are critical games so fan emotions are high. Many can't handle the pressure so they leave early . Edited August 5, 2021 by HOUSE 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say what it'll be like there, but can say that the anticipation for the regular season to start is like being a kid counting the days down for when summer vacation starts and how long to wait to go to amusement parks.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 With only one game this year, against an attractive opponent, it should be a great atmosphere. Traditionally the 3rd game is the best one for seeing starters. But not sure how that plays out this year with only 3 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
