I had heard all the old tales, but had never been inside. I’m glad I went, and I’m glad it was NOT on a game day. I can’t imagine a game day, especially on a night with wind chills below zero. Good luck to everyone attending. Proud of our Bills fans and the lengths they will go to to support our team! Prepare, stay safe, make NOISE and help bring home the WIN! I hung out at the Big Tree on the Saturday before the opener this year and had a freaking Blast! That place is definitely a staple in Buffalo Bills culture! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Good luck getting into the bars around the stadium, when it gets cold like this they pack them in like sardines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee there will be a few around, and with people that want to make new friends, just bring gifts to offer. Regardless have fun, it's going to be a hell a of day and night!! GO BILLS! Serious question: I know my iPhone will cut off if it gets too hot (and I’m told too cold). I wonder if a TV can even work in those temps? The least of my worries (after, ya know, fingers and toes) but your post made me wonder. 🤷♂️ Gonna be a shorter than usual pre-game for many, but maybe that’s not ALL bad for a night game. Just arrive safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place is definitely a staple in Buffalo Bills culture! I think I was there on a Friday, mid-afternoon and early happy hour. I had my lunch while a bunch of guys were having beers and laughing. All the regulars and staff knew each other well, it was clear. It felt quintessential “Buffalo”. It was awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopey Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Back in the 80's we just hung out in our van and partied when the weather was too bad to grill. Shag carpet, bed and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
