AFJF Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just tried to get flight to Dallas for Saturday but United atrocious so I couldn't use my miles....setting sights on Buffalo, week 17. Anyone planning on going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 If it turns out to be the playoff game most prognosticate, and no Winter Storm from Manitoba sweeps in, it is verrrrrry tempting. Flight is like an hour, no? That would be an INCREDIBLE game to experience LIVE. In theory, it would be a HOME playoff game in that it would occur within the "Tri-State" area, just in the nether lands of the New York State: Buffalo.

Joe Jets fan Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just an FYI, I have been a few times. It's the worst sh*thole to ever go to a game. Bills fans are the worst piece of crap you have ever seen. If you wear jets stuff you will get in a fight or jumped. I will never go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tri-state area does not include all of NYS. Only the parts that are in the metropolitan region. Jets fans will be largely outnumbered no matter what, trust me. Buffalo is pretty much the midwest.

Jetster Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Buffalo is a hell hole. Cleveland is like Paris compared to Buffalo. Think of every white trash town you can think of from Long Island to Jersey & you get a feel for Buffalo. They call it the Rust Belt for a reason, imagine this entire country & all of the beautiful places you can choose to live & imagine a huge contingency of white people with Zubaz & 70s haircuts who've decided "this is the place for me" and they're completely satisfied with it. Yes, you will get in a fight and it shouldn't come as a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, ha, plus they're out of the playoff race, Rex schnookered them into buying a bunch of season tickets, most will be selling their tickets or giving them away to friends because they've already spent too much money on beer & food at the previous 7 home games & barely have anything left for Christmas. So, imagine large groups of rednecks that could give two Sh*ts about the game doing mega shots in the parking lot, talking about how much they hate that f*cking Jet chant or people that are actually from New York, not pseudo Canadians.

Thank you PatsFan: I live in a suburb north of the City but the people in this area (for the most part) are really good and friendly individuals. Admittedly, downtown Buffalo was pretty bad a few years ago but there's been a remarkable improvement and there continues to be plenty of employment opportunities. Both Cuomo and the Pegulas are a large part of our growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot has changed since 2009. One is that we elected a governor that realizes Buffalo is part of New York State. He allotted a lot of money for development and also incentives for businesses to come here. The other is the Pegulas contribution to downtown Buffalo and there's more to come here. There's talk about a new football stadium downtown but not until 2020 as we just updated the old stadium this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never bought into the downstate vs upstate thing. I've never dumped on Buffalo other than to joke that its the boonies. And compared to NYC it is. Just a way to get under the skin of some upstaters. I've been to Buffalo plenty of time, spent years on business in Rochester and became friendly with a colleague who was from Buffalo and had more than a few crazy weekends there.

boeingjets Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 I travel around the Northeast on business a lot and whenever I have to go to Buffalo, I cringe. It's definitely the worst sh*thole of a city in the northeast. If you like blocks and blocks of vacant lots, boarded up houses and rusting factories, then Buffalo is your place. The people are a bunch of dumb rednecks living in the 80's. I'll be glad when I never have to step foot in the wasteland again. Plus, I've been to a few games there in the past and would never go back ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Never bought into the downstate vs upstate thing" I really didn't either. When I worked on the Paladino (friends with Carl and family) for Governor, I got my lights knocked out by downstate folks. It was not only Paladino that they hated, it was the people here in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
