What was the first Bills game you attended?

[OpIv37]

Mine was in December 1992 vs the Broncos. My dad and I and some other people we knew did one of those bus tours from Rochester. The Bills won the game 27-17, and I saw two HOF QB's. We had ****ty seats in the corner of the upper deck and there was no video screen at the time, but kids at their first game don't think about that stuff.

Surprisingly, I remember a lot more about the crowd and the atmosphere than the game itself. It had just snowed and people were throwing snowballs everywhere. One drunk got hit, and tried to fight everyone whom he thought threw a snowball (which, of course, enticed a barrage of snowballs every time he turned around). The guy ended up being thrown out.

Later on, there was a fight in one endzone. The guy behind me was watching the fight, and saw the Bills kick a field goal in the other endzone at the same time. His swift turning motion caused him to dump his beer all over me. I was about 13 years old, it was 20 degrees outside and I was now covered in beer. I didn't mind at the time though- I was just happy to be there.

The last home game of the season in 1980 against the Rams. We sat in the tunnel end corner.

I dont remember the specific game, but it had to have been at least 15 years ago. The only thing i remember was that I ate a hotdog inside the stadium and ended up getting sick and threw up on some guy in front of me. Mind you, I was like 8 or 9...but yeah. I think thats a fitting first time Bills experience.

It was a home game against the Houston Oilers in the 70s. I remember that Bobby Chandler made one of his pattened tip toe catches near the back of the end zone but was called out. I know we lost and I sat with my dad in his 50 yard line seats. He and his buddies had 50 yard line seats from the old Rockpile days. He gave them up a few years later because he just couldn't afford to keep going. I think Gary Marangi got in the game.

11/20/94, My grandfather got tickets through work or something and gave them to my dad and I. I remember it was an incredibly nice day out for late November and I was in awe by the size and noise of the stadium.

Great game to see too...

Bills went up 27-0 in the first half, and the offense was blazing. They did let the Packers creep back in, but won 29-20. Andre Reed set a team record with 15 receptions that day.

Here's a link to a story about that game:

I don't even recall my 1st Bills game. I was maybe 7 or so years old. Mid 1970's.

I do recall being at the game when OJ ran past the 2000yds for the season. I don't believe that was my 1st game. I think it was the 2nd time he ran for 2000 in a season. Don't remember who we played but I remember the announcement over the PA, and the hoopla going down at the time.
