DrDawkinstein Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Agreed with Boatdrinks, you'll prob need to be downtown. But you might want to first identify Sports Bars in the area and go from there. Since Buffalo doesnt attract a lot of transplants, and is a big Home Team Town, there are not a lot of traditional Sports Bars like you find in other cities. So first question: Which Sports Bars do you plan on hanging out at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBowlOrBust Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 I think you're right, I should have made the question what sports bar do you recommend and then figure out a hotel based on that. My nephew goes to UB and he mentioned Sidelines but I don't know anything about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I would highly recommend Sidelines. I’d also give them a call first well ahead of time and make a reservation. You probably won’t get in for a prime time playoff game as a walk in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffBills51 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Coming into town for the game with my 12 year old son and my almost 70 year old mom. I am thinking about parking at ECC. If we get to the stadium by 6:00 should there still be space in the ECC parking lots or should we plan to get there earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBowlOrBust Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 We thought we could check in to the hotel at 2 and then watch the afternoon game and then we are going to Kettles parking lot to tailgate so yes, we will be at the game but wanted some place to celebrate the victory afterwards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 If you stay at the Courtyard or Marriott downtown by the Key Bank Center, you have Southern Tier Brewing(formerly 716), that may have the biggest screen in WNY. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakout Squad Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hotel prices are gonna be ridiculous Saturday night. My cousin is a manager at a downtown hotel and it was over $400/night for the MNF Pats game. I’m a social worker I can’t come close to affording that just for a place to sleep.

I booked the minute the time/day was announced. I’m sure the price would be doubled if I tried to book today. 1 hour ago, Breakout Squad said: Edited January 11, 2022 by Jester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know downtown has a lot to offer, but if it’s TOO expensive you might want to look at Main St in Williamsville where I stay. Easy walk from the Hampton Inn to multiple restaurants and bars. Close to the stadium. Still not cheap, but worth looking into if you need options. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is crazy, that hotel isn’t even close to the stadium. Can’t believe they jack up the prices for that. Do the Bills really get that many out of town fans? Learn something new everyday.
