(WKBW) — Get ready South Florida here comes Bills Mafia! Sunday's showdown for the AFC East title in Miami is a road game for the Buffalo Bills, but it may not look and feel like it. According to VividSeats.com, it projects that more than half of the fans inside Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday will be rooting for the Buffalo Bills. That's a lot of red, white and blue as the stadium holds 65,326 people. Using the "Fan Forecast" algorithm VividSeats projects that the split of fans at Sunday's game in Miami will be 52% to 48% in favor of the Bills.

The NFL & AFL wanted a warm weather locale for the previously north east and central states only Leagues. But it’s worked out well as all northern teams who have games down here bring their fans for a reason to get out of the cold for a winter weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Is this percentage of sales on vivid? I bet there are a lot of tickets from season ticket holders that never show up on the secondary market. You have to assume those are fishes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 normally it is transportation prices that keep me from going to games. this time it is ticket prices. I should have pulled the trigger 2 months ago on tickets for this one because I can take Cheapo Air down there for $130. Back in Nov. Tickets for lower bowl were $240 for very good seats and airfare from Spirit was $70. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjv Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Considering all the WNY transplants living in Central and South Florida who are die-hard Bills fans, along with the snowbirds from Buffalo, the Bills may very well have a home-field advantage in Hard Rock Stadium.

WhoTom Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 For many years, the Bills played the 'Phins in Miami early in the season and then hosted them in the winter. I liked that arrangement until the Miami stadium sunshine advantage came into play. I like this even better - we avoid the heat and still get a "home game" against them in the winter. I wonder if the clear advantage they got in last year's early game affected the league's decision to flip-flop the home and away games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then add the Bills fans who already live down south. The Mrs. and I almost got tickets as far back as September. Even then things were a little bit more than we were willing to pay and it just sort of died on the vine. Therefore I will have to suffer through watching it on the 135" screen in the living room.
