Maybe it is closed down. I haven't been since 2004. I sure hope not though. If it is, I'm sure something really classy has taken it's place.
Can we band together, but 100 seats and put a giant Dolphins Tarp over them with "GO DOLPHINS! Kill the Bills!" and a logo on it? We need maybe four guys to set the tarp up. Who wants to go?
My brother in law is a Skins fan. He and his friends went to the Ralph a few years back and got so drunk they all ended up in a bathroom brawl (lol just typing that) and got kicked outta the stadium. Yes, my brother in law is like that. Not sure how it related other than Buffalo and drunkenness.
1) Canadian Strip joints are better than NY ones. Vegas is another story though. 2) Those trough-style passers seem to be a real conflagration point. That's where Brother-in-laws brawl started too. Who (other than Maynard) wants to fight a bunch of guys with piss on their unwashed hands?
The Mexican Cartels are done with you being a mule for them, they kick you back to the Island? Did you ever learn Spanish from that chick? Hit it? Come on man we gots THINGS to discuss.....
I hope this helps sum up Buffalo for people who don't understand. I was washing my hands once, and they have those old school 180 degree fountains that when you press a foot pedal, the water comes out. Well, one guy didn't want to wait his line in the trough and whipped out his piece and pissed in the water fountain. More surprising, I was like the only one who thought that was poor etiquette - do they even know what that is in the upper bowl of Ralph Wilson Stadium?. This is what I'm talking about;
Being from WNY I have to say this thread is spot on lol I have plenty of stories that start or end with The Sundowner. Expect to be colder than you ever thought possible and see some of the ugliest chicks of your life, but the food and beer is on point. Probably a few cause and effect scenarios there. Also, the women on the Canadian side are much, much hotter but the casinos are a lot ****tier.
I was thinking about going since I live in the area but Orchard Park is an absolute bleephole and watching that game in freezing temps doesn't sound like a terribly good time, other than the fact you get to cheer on the Dolphins. Traffic going in and out of the stadium is horrific, Sunlife Stadium is far better. I would think about going to a game in September or October but I've been to a December Bills v Dolphins game before, absolutely miserable. (I guess a contributing factor is the Joey Harrington led Dolphins lost 20-0) There's a reason every Bills in Toronto game has been in late November or December. In all honesty the reason NFL attendance is down almost across the board is because the TV experience is so good.
is that Genney Creame Ale? blech! nasty stuff right there. now their 12 Horse ale is good. besides seeing a game at the Ralph this time of year is really no fun, I hate leaving frozen body parts on those crappy aluminum seats lol
last time I was at the Ralph was in the early 90's to see Metallica and GnR. my lasting memory from that show was Faith no More sucked, Metallica was awesome but came on early, Axl Rose is a dick and extreme pain right between the shoulder blades. we had seats lower lvl right at the 50 and while we waited for GnR to take the stage (they were about an hour late) some rowdy ****s on the upper lvl thought it would be funny to launch full 16 oz cups full of soda down on us. a full one nailed me square in the back knocking me me over the seats in front of us. irony: the cup was a Beefaloo Bills cup too...
The stupid NFL deal with the networks. It was Fox's turn for a double-header and the Bucs game was a Fox game and had to be televised in the local market, so we got stuck with the 4PM CBS national game.
I can't handle the big trough... that's just strange... I prefer to take my small ***** into the stall and urinate in peace. We have bottomless ones... well, actually they are in Vegas.... strip clubs... not troughs
So the only thing Buffalo is good for is food, ****ty beer and the clap? I can get 2 out of the three down here, except substitute the Clap for AIDS.
OK, I know Bills fans, and let me tell you about them. First, I went to college among them (in Rochester) for four years during their superbowl era. I know these people - they are typical Upstate New Yorkers, of which I am one. Here are some typical traits for Bills fans: 1 - They are drunk. Very drunk. Drunker than you can generally imagine. Think of drunk. Then double that, then think of the most piss-faced you've ever been and times it by that. Double that, and you are pretty close to a Bills fan. 2 - They are truly a mix of some very nice, pretty cool people and absolute A-holes X 10. The basic rule of thumb is, on average, about 50 percent are give or take good or bad; 25% are over the top A-hole, and 25% are downright pretty cool. The middle 50% goes one way or the other depending on how good the Bills are, with the basic rule being the better they are, the more A-holes. In recent years, it's been nicer to visit the Ralph. A good example of this mix is two years ago, after the Dolphins won. On the way home down the thruway, we stopped at a rest stop and this drunken fool, who just fell out of a mini-van yells at me, "Only (derogatory word for homosexual males) wear Ack-wa!" I'm like, "excuse me?" Then, he repeats himself. Then, the driver of the vehicle gets out, is a totally cool dude and apologizes for his very drunken idiot friend. You get both kinds in Buffalo! 3 - There are a lot of drunken fans dressing in these full-body Carhartt outfit thingies .... it's like the Bills fan uniform in the cold. 4 - They really enjoy alcoholic beverages quite often. 5 - They really like cheap, bad beer derived from the Genesee River I've been there 11 times, and the Dolphins are 2-9 in that time. Many of those were during the Bills hey-day. I am, though, on a two-game winning streak there (yes, I was 0 for 9 to start!). Buffalo itself is better than you would think. Lots of great bars, eateries, and such, and you're right down the road from Niagara Falls and Canada, lots to do. As for strip clubs, I'd say Montreal has the entire world beat. Of course I may be biased from my bachelor party. If you can make it up there, you should go! I'll be there w/ three other Dolfans, for what's starting to become a mini #RalphTakeover Come on up!! Just be prepared to drink.
I lived there 30+ years. Basically, that's all to do in Buffalo and explains a lot of their fan base. If anyone should go, I suggest wings at Duff's vs. Anchor Bar and Labatt Blue vs. Genny Cream Ales. Also, I'd go along with the suggestions of the Sundowner, Mighty Taco and Schwabl's as the others have posted.
Ha! I can certainly understand Cream Ales not being for everyone. If anyone wants to go Canadian on the beer most of Buffalo does prefer Labatt Blue. I look for the Molson Export - But that's more my thing when I go fishing in Quebec.
I'd go except they require a passport to cross the border now and I still haven't bothered getting one yet.
Hilarious that 2 of us have had pretty much identical experiences. The Carhartt thing is too funny. So many Bills fans look like they came straight from the farm to the stadium. Definitely the most rednecks of any fan base in the NFL, but I've never been to a game in Texas... As for how drunk the fans get I call it "Down Syndrome by Beer". No offense to anyone who who may know someone legitimately afflicted with Down Syndrome, but it's really the most appropriate way I can think of to describe the look and mind frame of the typical Bills fans at Ralph Wilson.
Ex? Lol! You know you barely find Blue up in Canada anymore. Niagara Falls strip joints are over rated some really good ones in Toronto though.
You guys are hitting the wrong season for beer up here, imo. We have a few blueberry beers and a variety of other fall brews that are amazing. I got sick of Labatt before I was of legal age to drink. Molson is the better choice. Molson Golden if you want to be fancy on a budget.
There's some really good everything in Toronto. It's the NYC of Canada, imo. If I ever move out of the US that'd prob be my location of choice.
Same. I used to get gas faced on Labatt from age 17 - 19. Then one day I just couldn't stand it anymore.
Beers from a can? What's next, wine from a box? I guess I'm spoiled here in San Diego with a great microbrew scene. Those wings look awesome I have to admit. We have bottomless strippers here in San Diego. No alcohol though but there is always a bar next door. Of course there are whorehouses 40 mins away in Tijuana. Not sure if Dez's mother ever worked there. Outside of LA there was a place called Hawaiian Theater. Known for giving handjobs and *******s. They got shut down though after a decade lol. Not a big lap dance guy myself. It's kind of boring to me.
Still a bit early we have to Thursday. But **** you western NY hillybillys. i live here all year for two games a yr and you toothless ****s screw me.. Serious scrounge out a few tuels in your manuel and buy some tickets you inbred ****ers or im gonna go zombie on your asses. EDIT: Sis just called think I'm gonna freeze my *** at the game! With the rest of the Viagra deer carcas loving toothless people in the Ralph. GO PHINS
I grew up in Connecticut. I completely forgot about all of those Canadian beers. I remember at 14 drinking Molson Ice. I don't even know if they make that anymore, lol. You can't find any of that down here i don't think, certainly not LaBatt I always thought those Carhart outfits was some odd reference to the Mario brothers lol. Seems like such a bizarre place
Hell yea they do. They had Molson XXX for a while which was 7.2% lol It's like Mario kept ****ing himself every time you got a 1UP and the results all live here.
In Buffalo like the man said its Duffs duffs Duffs and you either do Labatts and if your a real man Genny cream ale he nailed it And yes they stil lhave the skunk called Molsen lol
