It is considered one of the top three venues in the NFL for tailgating.[citation needed] As many as 60,000 people are on site tailgating 3 hours prior to the game. Typically, up to 20,000 don't attend the game, coming to the stadium simply to enjoy the parking lot's festivities. On game days, roughly one out of every 12 people in the Western New York region comes to the two square miles along Abbott Road and Southwestern Boulevard (US 20).

Unfortunately I don't have the software loaded to make a good one at this time. You'd be more likely to find one of the other members who have a graphics background to whip something creative up for you.

Hey, cool article....

I brought by girlfriend last week to the San Diego game. It was the first NFL game she's ever been to. She doesn't know much about football, and we had seats pretty high up in Section 222. But, she had a great time, despite the crappy weather. We got there around 10 am, we took some beers around the parking lot and walked down a couple of streets. She wants to go to the Miami game in a couple of weeks.

It will take me a bit longer because I don't have any high res pictures of classic players. It should be done sometime tomorrow as long as I'm not busy at work.

I made the wallpaper. It's on my laptop and I don't have internet at home anymore. I can get it uploaded on Monday. To be honest, I'm not really happy with the final product. It was difficult to find "classic" Bills pics that were high res, but whatever, It could be worse I guess.

You can get a great snapshot of the stadium from various elevations if you go to GoogleEarth and download the program. It's awesome and it's free, unless you want the live version which requires a subscription. The current image is from late last winter. There is snow covering the black tarp or whatever they have covering the field. I'm not sure how the resolution is on the live version. I'm guessing it's not as good.
