What was the furthest you traveled to see the Bills play?

[Another Fan]

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

I've seen them once in San Diego, it was like a 10 hour drive from NorCal.

Buffalo to San Fran for "no punt" game, also Pasadena for Superbowl

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]

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.  

[Boatdrinks]

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. 

[Beast]

Green Bay, so not that far. 14 hour drive for me.

[Don Otreply]

From Hartford CT to Orchard park about four hundred miles, 

[Joe Ferguson forever]

Jax, last year.  Was a long 8 hour drive home.  Nashvilles about 5 hours.  Several very long drives home!

[Metal Man]

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.

[Straight Hucklebuck]

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. 

[wjag]

Going to Cincy from Baltimore for the MNF game.  That will be my longest trek.  Regularly go Maryland to Buffalo.

 

 

[Johnny Hammersticks]

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.

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.

[Gugny]

Drove from Queensbury, NY to Warren, PA to meet up with the Cletuses (404 miles).  Then we drove to the Columbus, OH area to meet up with the Beerballs (278 miles).  Then we drove to Cincinnati to see the Bills/Bengals game (128 miles).  Total: 810 miles.

Warren is closer to cbus than it is you?

 

I drove through there on the way home from the playoff game. It took me a weird ass way home

Same for me. I was living in Walnut Creek, drove to San Diego. 

[US Egg]

Truth be told, never traveled more than 5 miles to see the Bills countless times.

Yep.  It is a hike!

[Greg S]

I am in NJ so the furthest I have traveled to see them play is Orchard Park, NY. 

[Brand J]

LA to Buffalo against the Pack this year.

[Yawning Frog]

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.

And you couldn't bring that luck to the two playoff games in KC? Jeez.

ATL to LA for the season opener this year

[RiotAct]

drove from Amherst to Detroit for the Browns game last month.  4 and a half hours or so.  (but stayed the night in Canada close to Windsor).

[No_Matter_What]

From my hometown Bratislava in Slovakia to Orchard Park and then Hard Rock. This year, weeks 2 and 3. Had a lot of fun.

[Buffalo ill]

Both times I've watched them live were in Seattle, which is about a 6hr drive.

[Canadian Bills Fan]

not that far but we traveled from Toronto to Chicago and went to a Bills preseason game there.

 

cool experience 

[ytownblofan]

I was at the "Welcome to the NFL" Josh hurdle game in Minnesota. Quick 2 hour plane trip from Cleveland

I hear Bratislava and right away cut to Euro Trip lmao

 

 

[Albany,n.y.]

Albany to LA twice.  Once for Super bowl XXVII in Pasadena and the other 11/19/17 in the infamous Nathan Peterman game in the Stub Hub stadium. 

Both were blowouts against the Bills.   

[Just Jack]

Domestically, Miami in 2005.  Internationally, London in 2015. 

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 2014.  However, the rooming house had a terrible television. 🙁

Heck, you could walk ....Not that you would 😂

[Patrick Duffy]

As for driving I traveled 13 hours one way from my location for at least one game a year every year for the longest time. Haven't been able to get back to OP the past few years but hope that will change in the near future.

[Augie]

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. 

[chongli]

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.

Kansas City for the playoffs last year...greatest football trip of my life, until the last 13 seconds (and even then, what an absolutely awesome weekend experience).
