I'm really excited: on sunday a week from now, my girl and i are going to watch the bills vs. jets in buffalo. it's our first american football game ever, so we got no clue!!!
so:
1. where can i read some (understandable) rules of the game?
2. are there any rituals, or stuff you just do / eat / drink when you're there? anything i need to know?
:help:
Drink lots of beer and cheer for your favorite team:rotfl:

That about sums it up! Hotdogs, nachos and beer and you should be good to go! Might as well buy her a jersey or somethin since its your first game!Quote:

Yea don't wear a jets jersey to buffalo...
yeah, safety first!
Jays: what do you mean with "tail gateing"? please explain as you would to a child...
Yeah, he didn't explain that too well. Our American tradition of going to a game is tailgating. That's a reference to driving into the stadium parking lot in your pickup truck, dropping the tailgate of the truck and getting your beer and BBQ stuff out and grilling some type of meat. Most of the people get there early before the game and drink, eat and drink so more.:lol:Quote:

I suggest cheering for the home team, you'll get along with everyone else there. You can also ask questions about the game to whoever is sitting next to you. Although ask sparingly as to not piss off the person with too many questions.:yup:
Enjoy!!!! :cheers:
great tips, thanks a lot! :thumbup:
I pretty much agree with everyone else...
Drink beer, eat some BBQ if you get there early enough, sit with the home team fans, and cheer whenever they do, and shout obcenities whenever they do. You'll fit right in :)
Drink...and drink a lot. These guys have the right idea. Tailgating is awesome if you get there early enough. Although, whenever my friends and I go to a Titans game, we just drink when we park the car, walk around Nashville buzzed, go and eat at Hooters and hit on EVERY waitress in the place while drinking more. Then by the time we get to the game, we're good to go
Touchdown = 6 points. After a touchdown, the team that scores will usually kick it through the big fork thing for an extra point, so a touchdown is pretty much worth 7 points.
You probably won't worry too much with touchdowns, seeing as it's the Bills vs. the Jets.
Bring LOTS of beer. Beer at the Ralph is expensive. Hot Dogs cost $3.50. Three dollars and fifty fucking cents. Don't buy shit unless you absolutely have to, except for beer. Stadium beer is expensive, but it's fucking delicious. Fuck nachos and hot dogs. That's what tailgatings for.
For tailgating at the ralph, get there about 2-3 hours early. If the game's at one, get there at about 10:30-11. It's a huge party, cuz all of buffalo comes together to watch their bills play. Make sure you check out the guy who uses his car as a grill. Really cool to see. Can't remember for the life of me what the car is, but he turned it into a grill and cooks stuff on the hood of it. Bring a camera, take pics. Buy some of the bills merchandise.
Oh, by the way, see you at the game. I'm going too.
allright!! we'll be sitting 104, row 30. let's meet up somehow!
104, decnt. That'll be in one of the endzone corners, so you'll be able to see guys score. Or, in this game's case, you'll be able to see the kicker kick field goals...
I think I'm 126...
pm me your cell phone or pager number, i'll send you a text message when we're there!
hey bruiser where in TN are you at.... nash hooters is the best.... cant go to nashville without going to hooters... im in Chatt..
Congrats on the first game... it will be an experience you will never forget lol. These guys have pretty much told ya all the basics so have fun!

just root for the jets and ull be fine
Look at a color wheel. Find the home teams color. Wear the color opposite on the wheel of the home teams color. Sit in the home section. Cheer for the visitors team. Yell shit at every call that favors the home team. Complain about how the seats at the stadium suck compared to whereever. Take extra napkins from the conession stand and draw pictures of the home teams mascot getting brutally killed and hand them out to people in the section. Get drunk while doing all of the above. Bring seven or eight large friends, you all will last a bit longer making an interesting little show during the timeout in the first quarter.
Guten Tag Mien Herr!
Hamburg, just an FYI, the Beer at the American Football games is mostly either Miller's or Budweiser(American Made). Neither are any where near as good as your Home Country brew.
You can get some good darker beers, but it is all very exspensive.
However, doing the Tailgating with some good beer and Bratwurst is ALWAYS a good idea.
Have fun, and make sure to cheer for the Home Team, it is safer that way. (unless your G/F is cheering for the visiting team).
:D
Don't point a camera towards the JETS bench or you might not make it past the National Anthem

I'm from Buffalo and have season tix. If u r cheering for the Bills u will def want to get hammered b 4 the game, this way u will be to drunk to actually notice how bad they are( I can say this as I'm the dumb one with a Bills tattoo). And also beer is $8.50 inside, but at least its 24 oz. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn't they ever have NFL Europe on TV in Germany? I know Frankfurt had an NFL Europe team....
(Oh and Don't mention the Denver Broncos while you're there!):bino:

:wall: try cheering for the other team in philly... people seriously get beat with in an inch of thier life here for doing that... security can't make it through something like that at an eagles game... hell... at dallas games we are brutal... i'm surprised dallas fans even show up after all the shit we do... dump beer on them kickthem in the back of thier heads.... and they take it and say nothing... philly is a nasty place when it comes to foot ball... also i never haev parteken in the above...
Put your life savings on the Bills to win!
If you want to lose everything
you aren't kidding about that. anything at veterans stadium is hell if you dare wear another teams shit. go to ANY philly game either baseball or football and not root philly and you can get really hurt. only city i know of that they will jus attack you without hesitation, beat you till u are in the hospital, and you didnt even say shit. its like they get paid by the eagles or some shit.Quote:

You shouldn't get hurt badly if you root for the jets. You're not in the rockpile. During a preseason game against the falcons this year some idiot wore a Vick jersey into the rockpile. He left in an ambulance. I'm not joking.
104 is mostly clasy fans. Root for the team in blue and red, but if you lie the green and white, you won't get beaten. You might get heckled and harassed a little, but it'll be in good fun. We're all brothers at the Ralph when it comes to football.
Ya voll!! I have had the REAL Budweiser. I was stationed in Augsburg for two years and LOVED it!!!Quote:
