Bills fans are passionate, they are devoted, and they will do just about anything to show support for their team. Robert J. Hall, 57 years-old from Oakville, Ontario did just that.

A season ticket holder since the 70’s, Hall has made a hobby out of building Lego replicas. He has crafted the Empire State Building, Golden Gate Bridge, and next on the list was Ralph Wilson Stadium.

Hall is CIO for Speedy Transport by day and a die-hard, motivated Bills fan by night. To show his dedication for the team, he took on the daunting task of constructing a Lego replica of Ralph Wilson Stadium. The enormous undertaking took over five years to construct.

“My main inspiration was my love for the stadium,” said Hall. “I made this in dedication to the Bills, the fans and Mr. Wilson.”

whats even more amazing is he was able to put two tiny lego teachers from wilson (http://www.buffalonews.com/city/communities/niagara-county/article662791.ece) screwing in there

My dad manages the Lego store here and I'm trying to see if he can get the guy to display it in is store. It probably wouldn't be too popular in the heart of Redskins country though.

Robert Hall,

Heh - Robert Hall. Here's some nostalgia for older Buffalonians, who may remember the Robt. Hall clothing store commercial:

This is... wow. This is phenomenal. I am 24 years old and still dabble with LEGO'S. Hell, the top of my Groom's cake at my wedding is a LEGO depiction of me and my fiancee. Add that to my insane obsession with the Bills and this is just... incredible (For the record, my groom's cake is a Bills helmet).

8 people have sent this to me in either work or personal e-mails... and I've smiled every time. A HUGE kudos to the gentleman who put this together. It's now my background.

And what did you do in your elite life that bypassed what someone felt necessary to do and enjoy? I always love the "holier than thou" messages.

Does he have lego figures of a drunk skinny guy and a much bigger guy yelling in his ear sitting in the endzone?

Oreo. :snicker:

Just like when your Mom is sandwiched between 2 new friends, how ironic.

If you think that is audacious then go take a trip on your big wheel baby boy.
