Another Fan Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) My Dad and I drove the 8 hours from where we live to Buffalo twice. Made a long weekend out of it besides the game. It’s an underrated city we both like for things besides Niagara Falls. But I’m sure 8 hours pales in comparison to many fans on the site. I’m partially inspired to start the thread by that one fan who said they travel from Hawaii to see the Bills Edited December 14, 2022 by Another Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demongyz Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I've seen them once in San Diego, it was like a 10 hour drive from NorCal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EffKCChiefs Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Kansas to Buffalo, 2008 vs Bengals. Marshawns huge game where he had a long TD run and a TD pass. I bought a Lynch jersey at the mall before the game, im 5-0 in that jersey in live games...including the last 2 regular season games in KC. GO BILLS!

Shaw66 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I've travelled a lot for Bills games (I live in New England), but I've never gone too far west. KC, Green Bay, Houston are the farthest I've gone. Never LA, SF, Oakland, Seattle, or Denver. Never Dallas. Never New Orleans. So, the farthest is something under 2000 miles. Still hoping for Arizona in February. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Miami. Just under 1200 air miles from Buffalo. Had a chance to go to Pasadena for Super Bowl but didn’t go. Wouldn’t mind a west coast game or Arizona, that’ll be next on the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Man Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Went from Buffalo to San Francisco in 2001 for a SNF football game and was treated to a 35-0 beat down. The good old Rob Johnson years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I live in the Midwest now, formerly Buffalo. So in Miami for me. I've never traveled to the West Coast for a Bills game. At Seattle would be a cool trip and hear how loud that stadium is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Drove from Vermont last season for the Falcons game. Headed in Saturday night and stayed over night at a friend’s house in Rochester. Went to the game the next morning and drove back to VT after the game. About 7 hour drive from my house to the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Flew to Houston for playoff game Drove to buffalo several times. One time arriving at 130am, tailgate started at 630. San Diego opener. Was over mid 3rd Q so we left. Left by 330. Got joke at 230am. That sucked. 600 miles maybe. Last year for the playoff game there was a winter storm disrupting travel the next morning to NC. I had my flights changed to try to get me home earlier. Didn't work. I rented a 4wd truck, went to Lowe's and bought 300 lbs of concrete for ballast. I left buffalo at 3pm. Driving in near white out conditions through WV and VA sucked. Got home at 445am. What can be a 10 hour drive took 13+. I took a shower and went into work because why not.

Yawning Frog Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 From Dansville NY (Livingston County) to San Diego. I sold my conversion van that I used for tailgating at Bills games so I could take my dad to the Flutie game for his retirement present. We had a blast even though the Bills lost the game.

Augie Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 If you look around at a tailgate, it seems surprisingly few people there are from less than an hour away. Maybe the more local folks don’t put the same emphasis on the tailgate as they are there all year round? I know my local friends with season tix are just in and out for the game. I suppose my farthest trips are Sarasota, FL to Buffalo multiple times or Atlanta to Green Bay. I fly, for obvious reasons. I have my limits. I look forward to the schedule coming out every year because I try to go to the home opener and one road game each year. Picking a good road game location is fun. This year I was looking forward to the game in Cincinnati. I went last time we played there and had a good time (it’s my college town). When the schedule came out and I saw Jan 2 at night, I lost a little enthusiasm. Holidays and BRRR! We will be on vacation at the beach for that one. Hate to miss what should be a great game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chongli Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Uhhh...10 minutes by bike as a 10- or 11-year-old child when the Bills were holding a scrimmage at TC in Fredonia against Green Bay back in the early 80's. I lived in Dunkirk nearby, and went alone, as was normal for small kids to do back then. I got there early to get a good seat in the bleachers, but the sun was beating down directly on me. I only had a dollar or so in my pocket, which got me a small drink. After that, it became so unbearable that I biked back home before the game even started and drank an entire pitcher of Kool-Aid from the refrigerator. I decided to stay in the house then, lol.
