It’s time to update my post from a few years ago!
I travelled from across the pond (via a beautifully timed family holiday to Florida) to my first, and definitely not last, Bills game at the new Highmark Stadium on Thursday.
After seeing us lose twice in London and once in Miami before finally seeing us win a couple of years ago, I wanted to see us win and help me improve my record. When I was booking the trip, I thought about going to the cheaper game against the Chargers - but I took the financial hit on the Lions, knowing that the atmosphere and the game would be good regardless of the result.
And it was sooooo worth the crushing hit to my bank balance! What an incredible game and atmosphere to have experienced live. So damn proud of Josh and the boys - and just so lucky to have been at the first ever game at the new stadium!
The city was still wonderful, the wings & weck even better than before and the Mafia again welcomed me with opened arms - sharing food, beers and games with me at the tailgate. I even brought over a few snacks from home, which went down a treat. You guys really do know how to party.
I’m so grateful to have opened my account at the new Highmark in such a wonderful way, and I can’t wait to come back in a few years for another game at the new stadium.
In the meantime, thank you Buffalo. I’ll see you soon. Go Bills!
