The owner of the shop where I work is a Buffalo Bills fan. So am I. We are the only two diehards in the whole place :laughing: (The city where I work is just a little over an hour from Buffalo) He can't make next Saturday's game, and he had 4 extra tickets and a parking pass.

TOUCHDOWN! He asked me if I would use them. OH YEAH I CAN!!! These are CLUBHOUSE tickets!! They are $255 apiece. Separate bathrooms, vendors, the works. Glass-enclosed, if it rains or whatever - I'll be nice and dry and comfy. What a way to watch your first NFL game at the stadium!

What a great perk, guess that goes to show what high regard he has for you as an employee....fan or not :thumbsup:

I was flattered and speechless (which is ood in a forum, but not so odd in real life). It would take me THREE WEEKS, paying for nothing else - to save up the dough for what he gave me. He thought of me by name, too.

Humbling, when someone notices you did a great job like this.

It's humbling because you think no one notices what you do, and talk a lot of smak in a shop. :ashamed:

Meet me at the stadium - and if I don't see a kitten and a Massey, all bets are off. :biggrin:

BTW, the kitten and the Massey will be the ones goin in with me - since they are the ones doin all the posting. Oh, and just look for the turtle - he'll be the one with the tickets......

I have never been to a NFL game, have parked in the Ford Field parking lot to go to a Tigers baseball game does that count?:laughing: Been to many Tigers games and a whole lot of Red wing games but no Lions. Suppliers used to give me tickets to baseball and hockey but with the economy the way it is you don't see that much anymore.:frown: I guess the way the Lions have played the last few years the suppliers cold not give those tickets away.:laughing: Maybe this is the year for the Lions.:cool:

Wait, a minute, don't you canucks use "football" in the EU sense? :biggrin:

We aren't big on soccer here........if I were going to a soccer game, don't matter WHERE I sat.....:laughing:

BELIEVE ME - the Bills haven't exactly been in the sports news headlines since the early 1990's and Jim Kelly.......*siiiiiiiigh* I keep waiting for the recession in Buffalo to end.

We call it soccer here, and I'm not into it either. There is the CFL but it is 3 down football never really got into it.:confused2: With the US being so close to me, I grew up watching the NFL.:cool: Used to love the Vikings but enjoy all the teams. Follow NCAA football and Michigan and follow the Patriots because Brady is a Michigan Alum.:biggrin:

PATRIOTS? That's a dirty word. I'm gonna report you for offending me........:tongue: My sister loves those idiots - and I gotta eat crow year after year. Kinda tastes okay with enough onion powder and salt. :biggrin:

Twall,that sounds like a sweet deal.I've been to a few Chiefs games but prefer to watch games on tv.Too many people doing too many stupid things for me to go to the stadium.Besides it costs way too much when you figure all the add ons.The parking alone cost $26.00 and lets not even start with the food and drinks.But those boxoffice seats might just be the ticket to watching a good game,have fun...russ

About the Lions:

When the police stop you for a traffic violation in the Detroit area, they first give you a warning, and a pair of tickets to a Lions game.

The second time they stop you for a traffic violation, they give you a citation, and if you don't use your Lions tickets within 30 days of the second stop, you go to jail for a weekend, too.

Congratulations. I hope you have a good time.
I'm sure you know that Denver is probably going to win.
Hopefully the Bills can avoid the embarrassment that the Bucs sustained against the Patriots last night.
FYI
I usually bring a small radio and listen to the game while I'm at the stadium, that way you always know exactly what's going on, you may want to bring a set of ear buds and what ever you have that will pick-up the local station. But then again I don't sit in the club seats.
Remember O.J.?

Just wondering how you made out at the game.:biggrin: Sorry to see the Bills lost but it was probably still incredible to see for the first time.:cool:

NEXT saturday. :biggrin:

As far as THIS week, here are the standard excuses:

  • It was ONLY the Broncos; they weren't really trying.
  • It was ONLY preseason; none of their starters were in the game, so they weren't really trying.
  • It looks like another year of excuses as to why the Bills suck.......*facepalm* Because they never seem to really try..........

Here's my theory about that lockout garbage: Show me some wins, THEN your crying and whining about money and bennies will be a TAD more legit. If you are losers, don't even bother. :rolleyes:

They just might beat the Jaguars.
It sucks being a Bills fan. I know how bad as I'm a Bucs fan since 1976.
The Bills have had some great teams and Jim Kelly is in the Hall of Fame and that is how it should be....
even know Troy Aikman was able to run up 52 points in superbowl 27... 52-10 ouch.
