There are of course exceptions to the rule but in general that's how it goes. I think it's just statistics, not necessarily elitist or anything malign.

Less standing and cheering when the defense was on the field. Didn’t seem to me people were more intoxicated, although that is pretty much what happens for night games.

Either that or as soon as they get to their seats they pass out or start some BS. Went to the 2013 home opener and some drunk schmuck in the row behind us started a fight with a guy down the row, beer gets spilled all over us, dude gets thrown out and they haven't even done the introductions yet. Just a complete waste of your money, time, and energy. I recall being at a SNF against the JETS, and it was the opening game, warm humid weather too. I have been in many rowdy crowds in my life, being a metal fan, but that's still #1 ha ha, years later. So much alcohol and fights. And yet with so many Jets fans there, most fights were between Bills fans... I like "college" atmosphere and rowdy crowds personally, but yeah, smelling urine and vomit ain't my thing, and I too don't understand being passed out and not recalling the game! Nor yelling obscenities at the opposing team all night. Some swearing and outrage once in a while, sure. But just plain dumb crude behavior? Weird.

What were the secondary prices for the game last night? I have season's but I think the market was like 250 for the nosebleeds to like thousands for the top seats. Why in the hell am I gonna pay 500 to 600 dollars to get myself blind drunk to the point where I wont even remember the game. If I wanted to get stupid drunk, I could pay 25 bucks for beer start drinking at noon, get passed out by 9 while the game is on tv and save myself about 575 bucks.

teef Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 has anyone told the childhood trauma story of having a beer dumped on them at a bills game, and that spill the reason for them not going to any more games? it's one of my favorites! If you really want to avoid the craziness, you just have to spend more on seats. If you sit in the clubs you'll pay for it, but you far less likely to see nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartanBill67 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I travelled over from Scotland for my first Bills game, the whole experience was amazing, Bills mafia truly are the greatest fans in the world!! I thought the atmosphere was amazing, my watch warned me at least 4 times that I was in a high noise level area 😂😂 I was in section 336 must have been noisy up there! Thanks to everyone in that section for making the night special and making us feel welcome, we had a great time! The tailgate party through the day is something that is not done anywhere I’ve ever been and certainly not at any UK football (soccer) match I’ve been to! Again this was absolutely amazing, made me want to come back every week!! Thanks to Nick the English Canadian Bills fan for the tour around the Hammers Lot, great meeting and seeing some of the legendary characters! I really want to buy some Union Jack buffalo merchandise so if anyone can put me in touch with Nick that would be great, or if you read this can you give me a PM? So I’m summary I had the best day and night of my life at my first Bills game, but no one pissed themselves near me so maybe that’s why 🤷🏻♂️ keep doing what you are doing, the best fans in the world!!

colin Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 im in new jersey and my wife has suggested taking my family (daughter 8, son 6) to bills at jets. i really really don't want to deal with psycho jets fans potentially starting fights or throwing stuff, or just the horrible antics they get up to. now, for a bills game it's somewhat the same, but more about people just acting like vagrants. if i go up to buffalo for a game, i basically have to get good club seats. considering that i have to fly up there (or a long drive) and get a hotel for the fam anyhow, it's a small % increase.

There's two types of drunks. Those who drink as much as they can before the 1pm games because they don't want to spend $10+ a beer inside the stadium. And those they look at a night game as having several more hours to drink as much as they can because they don't want to spend $10+ a beer inside the stadium.

BRH Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) When I used to go regularly (my peak attendance was 1985-1998, which unsurprisingly coincides with the year I turned 16 and the year I got married), I didn't drink at all. Not because I didn't like drinking but because I wanted to watch the ***** game and not spend half of it walking up and down the stairs and pissing into a trough (or a sink). Anyway, we've reached that point in the team's development where the only thing that really gets the crowd going is a rivalry game or a playoff game. It was like that in the '90s for those of you who remember it. Games we should win, and particularly those of the non-conference variety, are just an excuse for people to drink more. And strangely enough, people who are wasted spend a lot more time half-conscious than they do screaming their lungs out. Also, I love how people are always surprised that they have no energy for a night game when they've been drinking since 9 am. Amateurs.
