Buffalo Rising Online

i have season tickets in the rockpile section- i love the seats and the price is right, but i'm sure the vast majority in my section are some combination of drunk and insane. i'm fine with the section given my age and tolerance for craziness, but if i was 15 years older and had kids or something, no way i'd sit there. to be fair, sitting in their when the bills beat the raiders 3 weeks ago was a blast - people were piling on their neighbors like they won the super bowl. great stuff.

that being said, i've sat other places in the stadium, and it's been completely fine.

did this kid have a few beers too!?

This is my 20th year as a season ticket holder and 20th year of tailgating. I'm looking forward to another 20 years!

I've seen a lot, but nothing you wouldn't see at any other NFL stadium with 70,000 + football fans.

GO BILLS!

I love the anonymity of these articles. If you are going to post an article, please attach your name to it. I sure people who post and reply to article on here are somewhat creditable, but some of these user names are ridiculous; it is sometimes hard to have a serious conversation with these individuals. Interestingly enough, there are many who use their first name, such as I, or something that resembles their name. Thank you to them.

This is a website that a lot of people read, more than most of us think; most of these people do not post on this site. Let us keep Buffalo in a good light, at least a somewhat intelligent light.

rb66, if you expect 20 more years of tailgating at Bills games, you better be prepared to commute to tronoto to do so. This franchise is gone when Wilson dies.

hahaha wow georged you are freakin original.....that stupid line is old...so give it a freakin rest...if the economy is garbage i cant see any big buisiness man dropping 1 billion for the team and 1 billion to build a new stadium somewhere (and dont say rogers center is big enough because its long been established its not big enough for NFL standards)

Kooks, you really are an ignorant person. When Wilson dies, they are selling the team. Someone is going to have to buy it, right? So now you are comparing millionaires in places like Toronto and LA vs. those who are in WNY and feel that a dying areas like Buffalo would be the most profitasble place to put a team (olsdstadium, low ticket prices.) You do the math, would you rather own a team in Buffalo or a city that has a bigger and richer population? Again, someone has to buy the team when Ralph dies, it is in his will.

the bills would never last in toronto. for one, if they have any losing seasons like the past 8 years here, you could bet there attendence would be extreamly low. and the biggest factor for why a football team would never last... its illegal to tailgate in ontario.

the bills in toronto would be like the NBA raptors and the MLB blue jays. good in theory, but bad in economics. they will always be a hockey town.

I receive an email everyday from the Rogers people asking if I'm interested in purchasing tickets for the December 7th game against Miami. It's still not sold out. Are you kidding me?!?

If this game was in Buffalo it would have sold out the day tickets went on sale to the general public.

The Bills will not leave Buffalo.

GO BILLS!

Maybe Croce and Paladino will buy the team!

Actually georged if you knew anythign that you're writing about you would know that its in his will for the team to be sold because his heirs dont want to pay the inheritance tax. However there is a changover in the laws where in 2010 if he were to die there is no inheritance tax against his estate. So if he dies that year your logic is incorrect. Also, I was not comparing the rich in WNY to the rich in toronto. But for a team to move anywhere they need a new stadium. So, if you know about how things in the NFL work, youd know that the team will go for close to a billion, the league's owners and commish (who is from WNY) have to vote for the move of the team by 2/3 majority. Also, there is a close to 1 billion dollar relocation fee that a move entails, which is suppoused to be split amongst the owners (hence you are asking them for fork over almost 32 million apiece) and lastly you are looking at a new stadium that has to be built whereever there are built which is anywhere from 500million to a billion. So, while im sure it gets you off to say how much buffalo sucks compared to big cities and how you are a 150% positive they are gone, maybe you should do some research before you call anybody ignorant. Not saying its impossible, but its annoying how people who clearly know nothing about the NFL are so sure they know everything about the bills and their future

Joshua,

are you honestly expecting to get into a serious discussion with drunko, meathead Bills fan? c'mon, we're not talking about a bunch of Rhodes scholars here......don't waist your'e time

I have boycotted all, ALL professional sports (Bisons, Cyclones and Staten Island Yankees aside). I will not pay for it any more. I do love my Bills but just can not take paying the freight or fright and sitting among hoods who drink, pee and vomit where they will. Yankee Stadium, Foxboro Ma, Mile High, Fed Ex Park, Fenway, Shae: $70 for entrance Sodapop: $8 Hot Dog: $9 Parking: $28 Watching a game at home, Priceless

Wow! It costs that much? Apparently I have been watching the Bills the priceless way for longer than I thought! I guess I quit going when I stopped being a beer drinking, pissing, vomitting, loud mouthed hood. And, that was a long time ago!

Amen Pegger

to pegger and auburner... you say you wouldnt attend bills games. i agree with you on that... im 18 and not willing to go into certain sections of the stadium. but you also say that you watch the game at home, as do thousands of western new yorkers.

if the bills leave town... they will no longer be the buffalo bills. weather you watch the game at home or at the stadium, i think we can all agree that it is important for this community to keep the bills in buffalo.

WHAT IS THIS ONE STAR CRAP THAT I KEEP GETTING?

Oh yes, Keep them here!

mepolo, is that a "nip of whiskey and a budweiser?"
