Yep.  It is an annual planned vacation for many Buffalonians...and the fact the game is so big has inspired even more folks to make the trip.

 

 

Especially when the game is in the winter months.

Apparently you’ve never seen or been to a Bills-Fish game in Miami before. 

 

I’ll never forget it

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. GO BILLS squish the FISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe it.  Most of these seats were bought long ago. 

 

Bingo. All Miami games are full of Bills fans, especially when played late in the season. Then add the Bills fans who already live down south.

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.

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.

 

First world problems.

 

Go Bills!

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.

 

This year will be three in a row for us.  Can't wait; the crowd is always pro-Bills and I expect this one to be crazy...

I'm sure we will represent well, but we haven't played particularly well in these mixed crowd away games (LA and London).


You do remember the season opener in LA last year?

BUFFALO, N.Y. (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.


I don't quite see how a home crowd could be under < 50% especially when the visiting team is not really close in proximity.

LOL that wasn’t a mixed crowd game, it technically was a “home game.”
 

It was more like a neutral site game

I can see Dols fans being despondent and selling their tix.

the intense heat may wipe out 48% of that 52%

 

At 8:15 PM?
