That ride from the Motel 6 to the stadium would typically cost you under $10, but not on game night. There WILL be surge pricing. My suggestion to you would be to have both the Uber and Lyft apps available (most drivers run both of them), and then just go with the cheapest. During the pandemic and up to around September of this year there was a definite shortage of drivers, and the prices on both services were through the roof. Then the federal unemployment ran out and the drivers came back to work, so prices have stabilized for the most part. But you can never predict the prices for big events like the Bills game Monday night. Your idea on waiting it out after the game is probably a good one though. The more the crowd thins out, the better chance you have for a decent price. Thanks for the info, incidentally are the stadium area bars open past 2 on Monday nights? I know the city is 4am but not sure with Oneals and Big Tree. Im sure a Bills MNF game will entice them to not close too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bars around the suburbs were open till 4:00 a.m. pre-coronavirus Now some stay open till then if they're busy.. others might close at 2-3 if not busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uticaclub Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I left at 8:30 from the Quality Inn/Hampton Inn for the home opener and it was almost an hour, traffic backs up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomper Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I would simply make friends with some Bills fans at the hotel and see if you can get a lift. Offer a few $ for gas. We help each other out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we time it right and the uber wait isnt too long or we run into some people headed to the stadium from the motel.
