what’s parking like at Highmark? Uber or are there buses, like public transit
what’s a can’t miss in Buffalo? we gonna be repping Denver and staying in Niagara Falls, ON
lol Ubering from canada ontario falls is gonna run you a fuck load of cash. whats your transport? renting a car? flying in etc?
Parking is way overpriced these days, It's $40 maybe $50 now? to park in the stadium lot, and your safest bet is buying a parking pass before in case the lots sell out, if you plan on tailgating in the stadium lots. Everything is cashless in the stadium, so make sure you got your card. You can Find Cheaper lots (usually at peoples houses along the roads near the stadium/ Near Tim hortons) They are all over , you'll see em I think parking near the campus (near wegmans down the road) if you google map it is around $30 usually. I've never gone to a late night game so this is your best option most likely. If it were an earlier game, I'd tell you to just park at wegmans, or the mall across the street for free and just walk the 30-40mins to the stadium...is what I usually do...lol Just buy a 6 pack at wegmans and drink it walking up. But its gonna be chilly at night and your gonna be stuck in that stadium lot for quite a bit after the game. Unless you plan on leaving at the half or early 3rd quarter.... Just stay the whole game man, even after it ends walk around, enjoy it..take it in.... You're just gonna be sitting idle in your car... a lot of people like to tailgate after the game as well just because its gridlocked getting out after a game. My suggestion is to get there earliest as possible. Tail gate if you want, but its def worth the experience to just walk around and witness other tailgates all around the stadium...Hammer lot is where a lot of the mischief goes on like pinto ron getting covered with ketchup and mustard every game, tables, etc...but you walk around Im sure youll see quite a few table smashings. Going to a game is def. a full day experience....I don't know how you're gonna be treated being broncos fans tho hahaha depends on who youre coming across. Most Bills fans are just playful fun, but you're always gonna have your Vendetta Drunks. lmao might actually be worth it just to buy a few bills shirts and put em over ur jackets...usually if ur out of town and saying its ur first game etc, ppl will offer you food, shots, etc.. one big family usually. Don't expect any of that in a broncos jersey haha. My suggestion is to pick up a few wegmans subs or make some sandwhiches, walk around with a 12 pack or bottle. Also a visit to a liqour store before the game will do you wonders. Buy the mini shots with plastic tops and hide em in your socks/wherever etc. Save your self $16 a beer and just buy a coke for $5 to throw the shots in. They stop selling beer towards the end of the 3rd quarter as well.
The stadium is actually quite a ways from downtown Buffalo, but since you're staying in Ontario The Canada Side, you'll most likely be driving through it anyways.. My #1 go to in Downtown Buffalo is a place called Misuta Chows. Some of the Best Ramen you'll ever have.... Its also designed as a back alley of tokyo joint...so it feels like you're chilling in Japan, with an arcade upstairs. it's also owned by Jonny Chow, the Bass Player from Stone Sour (lol the slipknot vocalists other band) so hes usually around if you wanna get a selfie. This area is pretty much near everything in the downtown area. If Ramens not your thing, Big Ditch Brewery is right around the corner and isn't too shabby. Can take 20 min walk on down to the Keybank center (buffalo sabres arena - they have a game tomorrow and the 14th depending on how long your staying) and check out the Canal Side (water front area) to the right of the arena. If you're trying to look for the best Buffalo Wings, lol alot of people are gonna say ANCHOR BAR...and while its where they originated...def not the best Wings in Buffalo... but still a over priced Tourist destination... just make sure if your hearts set on anchor bar that u hit up the OG one on The original at 1047 Main Street. Try Duffs/Bar Bill if your looking for quality. but even thats a further drive...La Novas got some great Pizzeria wings and pizza as well. Honestly Satying on the canada side of the falls is a whole adventure on its own man, Make sure you check out the Clifton Springs Strip area....tons of touristy attraction like haunted houses/mazes/ arcades. Make sure you hit up some booths that around the ferris wheel with bundle packages to save a ton of money if you plan on doing a bunch of those touristy things. One of my fav places to eat at the falls is Queen Victoria Place Restaurant... its alright...Mainly going for the view though... but usually sit outside in the summer, drink a flight right in front of the falls etc. Also Idk where you live but near the falls you have to either buy a beer at The Beer store or an LCBO...you cant get drinks anywhere else.... but!! if u wanna hack the system and drink some just OKAYinsh beer from the Niagra falls brewery. You can buy 4 packs or singles at the brewery and just walk around the falls drinking those (obviously try to keep them hidden) but its the cheapest way to drink. Also across from Niagras falls Brewey on the main strip near the falls is a place called Billy Bones BBQ...which is pricey but fucking soooo good man. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. any other qustions in town feel free to PM me etc. Have a blast man.... Just make sure you plan on getting to the game early (I'd probably jut pay the 40/50 for parking to not worry about the stress of parking) and plan on leaving late without rushing yourself and you'll have a blast. also if you've never seen the falls upclose,,, spending the $30 or whateevr is for the boat ride to get close is fucking majestic brother and totally worth it.
