Game Day Experience

[McMnNY]

You mean you cant cheer while sitting?
What kind of experience is having your only glimpse of the game be the back of somebody's head ?
We stopped going to a BILLS backers' bar because anytime there is a play, a table full of big fat guys who sit right in front of the screen all stand up and block everybody else's view of the screen .
Not everyone can stand for several hours at a time .... and even if you can , you pay to see a game.. not the back of some drunken butthole's head.
So , yeah , great !... make it impossible for anybody behind you to see the field and tell them " if you dont like it, stay home" .. then ***** if the game doesnt sell out.

I have had two knee surgeries, but I'm glad that I can still stand through a game.
I'm 5'11". There is a 5-6" drop from the row in front of you to your row. If you are under 5'5" don't blame me.
Listen, if you don't want to stand, get premium seats. End of conversation.

Other people may have a different opinion of how medical problems limit them.
So now we have a height requirement for Bills' fans. Nice.

My father goes with me too most games and he has had both hips replaced and is going to have his knee replaced. It is hard for him to stand the entire game but know one cares. For some reason people equate being on there feet with being loud.

Yeah because if you are unable to stand that long it should cost you several thousand more dollars because screw you right?

For the first time in my life I have a bad back. I was at the Eagles game sitting in the 100s and found it fatiguing to be on my feet the whole time. There was a grandfather and child behind me I felt bad for and even offered to switch seats. They didn't see much of the game sadly. The standing thing could be an issue as I get older.

Lets be honest, most fans go to the game expecting to stand. Yeah it sucks for those who can't, and it may cost more money, but thats just how it goes.

Thank you!

Ironic as this game is the most people have sat all season. The game was the worst all year aside from pre-season. We beat the Jets with Jauron. I expect a better showing from fans with the white too.

[Scarface]

Thank you!

Haha I'm 100% with you on this one. I technically pay for a seat, doesn't mean I have to sit in it!

I love standing and getting loud and rowdy when the defense is on the field. However, as soon as the Bills get the ball I'll sit and watch (until there's a big play) to give the people in back of me a break. It frustrates me to see people sit and complain about people standing to get loud and motivate others to get loud when they're sitting there like church mice. What do they expect?

At the same time it pains me greatly to watch the drunken idiots that have no clue and stand up, wave their hands and try to start chants when the Bills are on offense. This gives people like me who like to get loud and rowdy for the right reasons, at the right time a bad name.

Your experience and the price of your tickets is why the Bills can't compete against the NYC and Capital District teams! Those areas pay about $150 for the same seats and are season tickets holders. Most of them are long-time season ticket holders who respect the fans around them. In our situation the game has turned into a party, rock concert venue for 50% of the crowd. When the December games come they are long gone as are the sell-outs.

SAD!

You can make more noise if you're standing. And if you're not making as much noise as possible when the opponent has the ball then you're not doing your job as a fan.

Yup. I personally like to stand entire time Defense has the ball, and after a big play on Offense, also for Kick Offs.

Sometimes if the crowd sucks and everyone is sitting I will sit on defense, but if it's 3rd down, no question I'm standing and trying my best to make everyone else to get up and cheer... And clap their hands as loud as they can. I'll smack the bleachers or chairs in front of me as hard and fast as I can while screaming at the top of my lounges... You can not do this successfully while sitting.
