A special thanks to Russ Adams and Budweiser for their kind donation of Bud, Bud Light, Mich Ultra & Michelob for our trip to Jacksonville - much appreciated (gulp)!

The deadline to register for the Jacksonville trip is SEPTEMBER 5th. This is the latest day that we can guarantee tickets in the Bills Backers section. The Jacksonville Jaguars ticket department is being very, very kind to us in holding an extra 25 tickets until the 29th of August at no charge.

If you’re on the fence, stop over-thinking it and just sign up!

Here’s the deal: represent the club and our team in beautiful Jacksonville, hang out with fellow BBA friends, party on the bus, watch classic Bills footage, sing songs, don’t worry about driving, all in one package couldn’t be a better deal - bus, beer, ticket, hotel room for $200. We already have 30 people going so it’s going to be a blast!

If you already have a ticket and your own accommodations you can just pay for the bus trip and that is $75.

It’s like being at home… (sniff sniff).

Here are the details to get your tickets and represent Buffalo with our family at the Bills Club:

1 ticket at the game (section 307 where Sabs shoot twice) + 1 bus ride (includes beer) + $10 Cheyenne Grille gift card (for food or drink) = $45 (good times)

Updated December 18th - Notice to all Buffalo Fans…Lake Erie is now a restricted area. Redemption in 2008.

Alright, alright….here we are week 15 and the Bills have a lot on the line. They have to, have to, have to beat the Browns this Sunday at 1PM. To the winner goes a probable playoff slot and sole and perpetual rights to Lake Erie. That’s right, whoever loses can never go in the lake again…ever! So come down the Cheyenne Grille to help cheer on the Bills past our neighbors on the other side of the lake. Everything is on the line and the Cheyenne will be rocking!!

Update:
We will also be raffling off two ticket packages to the upcoming Sabres/Thrashers game. See mess age below

Just wanted to thank everyone for coming out to the Tailgate Party on Oct 28th vs the Jets. We had over 250 people come by and enjoy the authentic Buffalo food and sip on some Canadian beer (if 7 kegs counts as sipping). Yes, it was about as close to a Bills tailgate as you can get without actually being there. With your help we raised over $3000! We will be donating a large portion of that to Buffalo Children’s and the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis in honor of Kevin Everett. Thanks again for making the event a success!

Unfortunately we won’t have this guy at the tailgate next week (Oct 28th at noon) but I think there might be some candidates to replace him.

Here’s some important news:
1) We’re doing pre-sale tickets at the Bills game this weekend vs Baltimore. Remember, it’s 5$ for members and 10$ for non-members. Being a member means you signed up on the Bills site, associated yourself with the Atlanta chapter and your name appears here. You can pay at the door or prepay via Paypal by clicking on the Donate button on the right.

2) We are also promoting Cheyenne Grille Gift Cards. Proceeds go to the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis in honor of Kevin Everett. It’s a one for one ratio, buy a $50 dollar CG gift card and you can basically get a $50 dollar credit for food and drink at CG. The only difference is that 25% of your total value goes to the charity. It’s a no-brainer.
