Only 3 more games left at the Ralph…

I’ll be at all 3. What is your favorite moment at the stadium? Mine is the perfect game against NE in the playoffs.

Every game my father brought me to when I was a child 

 

The entire obsession with the bills starts there... Good bad ugly.. playoff wins 

 

I don't take any game for granted!

 

The Ralph has seen so many good memories from breaking the dolphin streak to Oakland in the AFC championship.. the perfect game versus the Patriots 

 

And all the friends we made along the way

Many will probably say the comeback game. I wasn’t old enough to attend the comeback game, but I did experience a smaller version of it vs the Ravens this year. 
 

While watching it unfold, all I could think of were hundreds of scenarios where I saw the Bills losing.  As the game progressed it seemed more and more like the bills were going to “find another way to lose.” I sat there and kept thinking about how much time and money I had wasted on front row seats. It was an embarrassment. 

 

It was a miraculous thing to witness. Just like the comeback game against Houston, I think what made it special was watching 1/4 of the people leave, and being rewarded with a crazy, improbable come from behind win. 
 

I have been to approximately 15 bills games. It wasn’t until that one that I experienced what “Fandemonium” felt like.

Raiders AFCCG, comeback, and NE playoff win.  All amazing.

My favorite moments where when the whole crowd used to ...............

 

Oh wait, that was the Rock Pile. 

 

Get off my lawn you kids.

My first game was when my parents took me to a Monday Night Game, Bills vs Dolphins, in 1981. Fast forward 10 years later, I took my Dad to Bills vs Dolphins, 1991 AFC Divisional Round. The game where Tasker ran a muffed kick off some 70 yards to the Dolphins 5 yard line. One vivid memory of that game was Marino going up and down his offensive line sitting on the bench just going off on them. We all know the outcome of that game.

Put Tasker in the Hall of Fame! 

 

The dude changed the game and was seriously game-planned for

Snow game vs Indy a few years ago. That game was unreal. Had 7 friends in town for it to "witness billsmafia" and only 1 made it until the OT winner. What an atmosphere. If anyone remembers, it was so snowy that they didnt even do security or check tickets at the entrance lol. 

[BuffaloBillies]

First time, with dad, 1982. Want to go tell him all about a SB win and leave a bunch of stuff at his gravestone. Like, so badly want to do that. 

[strive_for_five_guy]

I’m holding out hope that you’re wrong and we have more than three games left at the Ralph.  That said, favorite memory is probably the first game my Dad took me too.  Eight years old and it was the Sunday night game hosting the Raiders in 1990.  Amazing first game to attend, I remember seeing some drunk guy leave with his eyeglasses crushed 😂.

The Todd Collins comeback game was one of my most memorable, in an otherwise forgettable year….

[Ray Stonada]

Being at 51-3 was the most giddy moment of my Bills fandom.

 

Being at 30-13 (1993 AFC Championship), the Thurman 3 TD game, was the sweetest.

 

(I didn’t make it to the comeback game, and back then I didn’t even get to watch it on TV.)

 

The most incredible moment not by the Bills was when Randall Cunningham ducked a SURE safety by Bruce and threw a 95 yard touchdown. I was sitting in the end zone right there.

 

 

[pi2000]

worked concessions there in the early 90s... some core memories while working include the 1990 Championship beatdown of the Raiders, the Houston comeback, the 1993 Championship game, and meeting OJ in the stadium i think 1991 or 92, shaking his hand with the leather gloves on.

 

they kept track of cups, not amount of beer, so we would fill large ziplock bags with labatt blue and sneak them out of the stadium lol.

 

As a kid in the early 80s, my first game they played the Steelers sat in the endzone with my Aunt who was a superfan, guy next to me puked on my arm haha.    The Gregg Bell 90y TD run against the Cowboys, Bills won that game iirc as huge undersogs.   A bone chilling sub zero game against the Raiders late 80s maybe... and so on.   so many great memories!

I was on the 30 yard line, Eagles side of the field. It was a jump ball, one Eagle vs 2 Bills defenders. The Bills defenders crashed into each other and the Eagles.WR had a wide open path to the end zone. But the Bills were up something like 24 -3 at that point.

That will be my best memory, my uncle died that Friday and then there was the joy of blowing out the Raiders. I was sure that was the year....

[US Egg]

Watching my brother after the Bills clinched the AFC East in ‘88, when the fans stormed the field and tore the posts down, I’m in the stands, my brother is on the field playing tug-of-war with a length of the net with a stranger. They’re tugging back and forth and all of a sudden he falls back and disappears into a heap of people out of sight. I’m waiting to see him and thinking “aw fudge, he’s hurt”.
 

After a couple seconds he pops up shoots his arm up in the air holding the net like Hulk Hogan winning the WWF title.

Just remember to bring him some flowers and visit him when we bring it all home

1. Houston comeback game. Dad wanted to leave. You never leave. 
2. The time in the summer of 1989 that my grandfather took me to pick-a-seat day to buy my own season ticket, sitting all by myself, 4 rows behind the rest of the family. He called my Dad at work at work and talked him into it, I swore to every deity I could think of that I would pay for it myself, and Dad agreed - somewhat reluctantly. I had my own ticket from 1989-1995 and cut a ton of grass and shoveled more snow than I ever want to think about shoveling again. That worked out well.
3. AFCCG v. Raiders
4. 3TDs in 77 seconds v. Denver
5. Bills/Dolphins 9/14/2014 - first game after they announced Pegula was buying the team and they wouldn't be moving away. I don't live in WNY anymore and it wasn't in the plans to go to that game but when that announcement was made the whole family felt like we had to go. Also the first game I brought my then 8 year old son to. He lost his mind when Spiller had the KO return for a TD. I responded to some thing for the Buffalo News asking why the team was important to you or some such and they called me on the phone and asked some questions. I told them the story from #2 and some stories from being a young kid sitting by himself in a pretty wild place at a wild time and they put it in the paper so that was kinda neat.
6. Bills/Cowboys November 18, 1984 - I was 6, the team was terrible, and I was only able to go to games that year because they were so bad my mother didn't want to go so Dad took me.  They won that day when they weren't supposed to and hadn't won a game all year. It felt like the best thing in the world. In retrospect, my Dad is/was pretty cool for letting me do that.
7. November 18, 2001 - Jim Kelly Wall of Fame day.  The first time I brought my wife, then girlfriend, to the stadium. I drank WAY too much, the Bills lost to a long Rian Lindell FG for the Seahawks, and it was the day I knew I found the right girl.

8. 2024-25 playoffs v. Denver.  My now wife and my Dad and my younger son came. Dad wasn't really a tailgate guy when I was a kid so I made him try it now that he's old. Did ski shots with my 74 year old father in somebody's driveway. The homeowner was dressed like a referee and throwing flags at Broncos fans. If that was you, thank you.

9. Bills/Raiders Divisional Round, January 1994. Air temp 0, -32 wind chill.  I never felt cold that day. 

10. Bills/Phoenix 1990: It was raining, sleeting, and blowing what felt like easily 30mph. I got wet almost right away, stayed wet the whole game, and froze my ever loving ass off. The sleet was moving across the field in sheets in the 4th quarter and I was shielding my face with my hands because it felt like getting sandblasted.

I'm going this week with my Mom, Dad and 15 year old son and I'm trying to go to the Eagles game and Jets game also. I really want to sit in my former seat for the Jets game.  I got close to it for the Saints game but not quite.  I need to walk over to 311 this Sunday and see what the new number is on my seat. I thought I knew what it was but I was wrong.  It used to be M6, row 10, seat 111.  My family had M5 (the sections used to split in the middle of the section for you youngins - it confused the hell out of people), row 6, seats 7, 8, and 9. Anyhoo. Na'zdrowie and Go Bills!

You aren't the only one with a similar plan my friend.

I thought it was favorite moment not moments….I’m gonna need a page or two.

Yup, I saw that on the replays. But live, in the moment, from behind the play, it looked like a miracle by Cunningham. Bruce was bearing down on his blind side like a white shark and somehow he ducked under it...
