Italian Bills Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Look… yesterday i was watching at Raiders - 49ers and the stadium was almost 50-50. How do you think it will be tonight ? I would be happy to have a 70-30 balance, not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeavercreekBillsFan Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I’ll be there. I love an hour north of Cincinnati. There’s a surprising number of bills fans in the area. Lots of chatter that bills mafia will have a good showing tonight. That said there’s no comparison to bengals fans and the pathetic raiders fans. Plus it’s Vegas and not really their home and Niners fans used that as a nice fun weekend getaway. I expect 75/25 tonight maybe a little more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Almost was gonna go. Had the tickets ready to be bought. Then just decided I couldn’t make this trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I doubt that there will be more than 10% Bills fans there tonight. Cinci is not Miami (as far as crappy fan bases) and parts of Buffalo are still digging out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I don't anticipate that much. Hope I'm wrong Monday night. Lot of ppl probably can't get off work Tuesday and this is a massive gm for cincy too and they have a loyal fan base Probably 10% There was about 40% in Jersey vs Jets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposing fans are always going to go to Vegas/LA as it's a nice vacation spot. In the case of the Rams/Chargers they don't have great fanbases as LA is a weak football market. Vegas is just a popular place to visit. When the Bills play the Raiders there or the Sabres play the Golden Knights, I could see Buffalo fans traveling in large numbers to go there.

They were an iconic team. The Oakland Raiders and Canadians were the top winning percentage sports franchises in all of the 4 major sports. So there are still many Raiders fans in Oakland. And Oakland - San Fran are rival sister cities. So I, for one, am not shocked, that the Raiders game in San Francisco was 50% Raiders fans.

I've seen many an Oakland/San Francisco game. You couldn't buy your way as a Raiders fan into a game at Candlestick Park. And if you showed up in a Montana or Rice jersey in Oakland, you didn't have the most pleasant experience. Las Vegas is a far cry from Oakland.

DC Greg Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Our flight from BWI to Cincy was almost all Bills fans. There were a ton of people at the restaurant we went to last night, as well. It seems like there will be a solid contingent at the game! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I feel so guilty. You guys are flying in for the game and I live about 10 minutes from the stadium and I'm not going. You shouldn't catch too much grief from the locals. They are used to being invaded by Steelers fans and Cubs games at GABP are like Leafs games at KBC.

The Raiders will be synonymous with Oakland for a long time. Moving to Vegas won't change that in the short term. And although not many, there are still some Raider fans in Oakland who firmly believe that they will fail in Las Vegas, and Davis will build a new stadium in Oakland and move the team back to Oakland within 5 years.

Outside of areas that were artificially piled via snowplows or parking lots, there is green grass and bare pavement. At most a very thin coating of snow surrounding mostly grass. I live in the area, got about 4 feet of snow and have driven through the worst areas. Not sure what they are chipping away at...it's been in the 40s and 50s almost all week. Tell them to go boil some water and pour it on it...will melt it quick and won't refreeze. Edited January 2, 2023 by Big Turk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I probably could have gone, I'm working in the Cincy area this week, so if I had wanted, I could have drove there today for the game and started work Tuesday instead of Wednesday.
