BillsNYC Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Just got back from our trip to Buffalo for the Bills game. We had 60 members head up to Western New York for the game. On Saturday we did a tour of the stadium. Didn't get to see the locker rooms and stuff but got to check out the press box, some of the suites, and then go onto the field...which was AWESOME! We then headed over to Dannys and had some beers with retired Buffalo Bills - Joe DeLamielleure, Mark Brammer, and Lou Piccone. All three of them were awesome down to earth guys and it was a lot of fun. On Sunday we tailgated at Kenny's pinto where many of our members saw the whole steup for the first time. Aaron Shobel's father was there with some of the Shobel family and they were a nice group (all in black leather coats and cigars?). Met Rockpile, Guffalo...and some of the other TBD posters. The game was awesome! Had tix on the 50 yard line 18 rows up from the Jet's bench. Very scary when Williams went down, and you could tell how Jonas Jennings was nervous as he pumped up the crowd and went through his blocking drills to take his mind off it. Anybody see the fan run around the roof of the press boxes? Awesome! Coolest thing...our stairs led right up past Ralph Wilson's box. The old guy was sitting alone at a table in his suite throughout the whole game in a rain coat and Bills hat. At the end of the game, he was on his cell phone and then turned around and pumped his hands into the air and had the biggest smile I've ever seen. This man should be in the Hall of Fame.

Guffalo Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Great to finally meet you guys, I had a great weekend, just the perfect way to end it with that game. Sorry I missed out on the happy hour, but just had to see the Falls and try the casinos. Thanks again for setting up the stadium tour, absolutely the highlight of the weekend!!!!

billsfanone Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Glad no one took you up on your offer to punch me in the face. Or maybe someone did, and I was too drunk to feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His fall was "cushioned" by fans per the Buff News. Did not mention any injuries though. You picked a great day for the game; November weather is a crap shoot in WNY! You are right about Ralph Wilson. If there is any justice in the system he will inducted into the HOF in 2005, but I will not hold my breath.
