HereComesTheReignAgain Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Hello from the North Jersey Bills Backers! The MNF season opener in NJ is quickly approaching and we wanted to provide an update on the weekend events. To kick off the festivities, we will be hosting a pep rally at our new Bills Backer location in Glen Rock, NJ on Sunday, September 10th. We are very excited to call The Stone & Rail home this season (http://stoneandrail.com/) . For those coming from out of town, the Stone & Rail is very easy to travel to and is located yards from the closest train station at 175 Rock Rd., Glen Rock, NJ 07452. At 1:00 we start things off with a Labatt Blue keg tapping (this is a big deal at a bar that normally only carries craft varieties!) There will be a special Bills themed menu and football on the multiple TVs. We hope you can stop out for some great drinks, food, and Bills talk! IT’S GAME TIME! On Monday, September 11th, we will be showing up at lot 26 as soon as it opens at 3:00. If you are driving to the game, you will need to pre purchase a gold parking pass. It is unclear based on the Jets website if you can purchase passes at the gate, but you can pre purchase your passes. For those of you that have not had the good fortune of attending a Bills Tailgate at Metlife Stadium, it is not to be missed! Bills fans take over the entire lot and make it their own. This means great food & drink, games, impromptu shout song sing-alongs, and the greatest fans in the world. We encourage anyone that wants to join our tailgate to bring a dish to share and whatever you plan on drinking. There will be a few backers willing to grill items that require it. If you are unable to bring something to share, we encourage a small donation to the chefs that have gone all out for this event. You can speak to our Tailgate Chairman, Nader, or our President, Sid. Both will be manning the grills. You can locate our tailgate headquarters by the North New Jersey Bills Backers flag and the best food in the lot! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I am happy to provide my email or cell number after speaking by PM. You can also contact us through our FB page (Northern New Jersey Buffalo Bills Backers) or our website, https://www.njbillsbackers.com/ . ***Please comment below or send me a quick PM if you plan on going to the Stone & Rail on Sunday so we can provide a rough estimate to the owners*** We look forward to seeing everyone, and to a great Bills victory to start the 2023 season! GO BILLS! The menu for Sunday… Edited September 9, 2023 by HereComesTheReignAgain 9 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 In case anyone heard any rumors about the tailgate lot location changing, the Northern Jersey Bills Backers and all our friends will be in lot 26, as it has been for years. Your gold parking pass works for lot 26. Great food, plenty of drinks, and the best fans in the world! We hope to see everyone that is in the area at the Sunday pre party at The Stone & Rail and on Monday night at the tailgate in lot 26! Go Bills!

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Wish I could join you all this year. For those considering attending, the train to the stadium is the way to go.

QB Bills Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Any way to obtain a pair of tickets without paying the arm and leg Ticketmaster and your other sites are asking for? Would be awesome to join the tailgate but if I'm coming from this far, going to the game would ideally be part of the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally our Backer group has some connections to tickets, but they were really tough to come by this year, for obvious reasons. If I hear of anything, I will let you know asap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a really nice place and a much more convenient location. http://stoneandrail.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninja Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Can confirm the tailgate at lot 26 goes hard and is a great time.

Going to get to the stadium by 3:30 - 4:00. Lots open 5 hours before kickoff. Don't want to be on Rt 17 near rush hour. Traffic can be a pain in the ass then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combining rush hour and stadium traffic would not be fun. Definitely want to beat the work traffic to the stadium! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been seeing morning isolated storms and scattered in the afternoon. The field might have some wetness but it seems that the rain will be gone by kick off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 What tailgate does Pinto Ron show up to? NJ and NYC Bills Backers should combine rather than be in two different lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted September 6, 2023 Author Share Posted September 6, 2023 1 hour ago, Mango said: What tailgate does Pinto Ron show up to? NJ and NYC Bills Backers should combine rather than be in two different lots. NYC Backers changed their plans after most of us had already purchased gold parking passes and made plans for lot 26. They are in a lot that does not accept gold parking passes. (The passes are about $85 on ticketmaster!) We were not aware of the change until a few days ago. Unfortunately this year there will be 2 tailgates. We will be running the same great tailgate that we have had in lot 26 for many years. Hopefully we can all get back on the same page next year. Go Bills! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I am taking my nieces to the game. They are Jets fans. I will be watching the game from the parking lot as I refuse to go into a stadium with a bunch of drunk Jets fans. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinatraSinger Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I've taken all this information down and hope to make the tailgate in lot 26. Unfortunately I am attending with 5 others, 3 are Jets fans, 1 is a Giants fan and the other is a Panthers fan, though he says that the Bills are his second favorite and will be in Bills gear for the game. I am so excited about going and can't wait to see the Bills beat up on the Jets this year. I'll be in section 349, either row 14 or 15. I'm coming from Rochester, NY so I won't have a dish to pass, but will be more than happy to contribute if I can make the tailgate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
