I’ve talked with you before about this. You are going to be heckled. No doubt. I don’t think any reasonable person will dump beer on you or call you horrific names or anything. If someone’s F’ed up I can’t vouch for them, obviously.

I think the view at the Ralph is great and I am always in the nosebleeds.

You should dress in layers for the wind. Wear a light windbreaker just to keep that off you underneath all your big heavy layers.

oh the Bills are going to win, the Dolphins suck

can I say – the Bills suck and the ’Phins are going to win?

Is it safe for me to wear Dolphins gear into the stadium? Or will I get beat up

considering the Bills/Phins history – you’ll hear some things – should be all fun tho

How bad is the view from the 300 level?

actually not bad – you most seats are pretty good – bring bi-nocs though for som fun

How bad is the wind in the Ralph?

pretty windy – especially at 300

Is the Ralph easy to find where you are going once inside of it?

no problem – just follow the signs
Are the people generally going to be accepting of me as long as I act like a kind Dolphins fan?

Try not to get injured by the injury bug that seems to reside on Buffalo’s sideline.

My last time in the Ralph was against the Phins in Dec ‘03. It was the first game after the Bills eliminated themselves from playoff contention. However, the Phins needed a W (which they obviously got) and some help to get into the playoffs, which they didn’t get.

Anywho, all I remember about the day was it was real cold (we playfully threw some snowballs at Phins fans peeing during the tailgate), but I was kept warm by squeezing into my seat (bench) full of 200+ lb. dolphin fans. Oh, and that Bledsoe got sacked like 19473932 times! You should be safe and maybe not the minority, dress warm!

Many Bills fans are deplorable in their behavior: hope beyond all hope that there’s not enough snow to make snowballs on gameday. I have beared witness to countless snowball throwings. The damned drunks are so messed up that they’ll occasionally hit other Bills fans sitting behind the “enemy.” The worst part as a visiting team’s fan: if an altercation ensues, and you didn’t start it, you’ll be the one thrown out because you’re the catalyst for their behavior. Yes, that’s messed up.

Don’t worry, most fans are okay, but do you best to go along with the heckling and high five them when the have a good burn. Oh and don’t look for “fivers” when your team does something good.

Also, the weather on the visitors’ side is much nicer. You get the sun and it can easily be 10-15 degrees warmer in it. The wind is pretty bad, coming off the lake. The only weather that’s truly horrendous for fans is a cold rain.

The only Dolphins I really dislike are Bryan Cox and Jimmy Johnson for being jerks. Remember when Cox gave the double bird to Bills fans? Then there was JJ stomping on the Flutie Flakes. Good job Jimmy, of course the proceeds went to help fund autism research. So basically he’s saying “screw you” to people with autism and those who care about them.

As you know, the ‘phins are are biggest rival. This year, it’s pretty irrelevant for both sides unfortunately. Have fun and try to survive the cold.

My great aunt is a Dolphins fan who lives in Dunkirk. She has gone to the Miami game in Buffalo every year for about 30 years to root for the Dolphins. It is safe to do, although knowing the Ralph there will be plenty of drunkards.

You will be fine. Expect ribbing, hollering and a hooting. The wind is no big deal. 300 level is fine, but you can buy tix lower level endzone on ebay for $60-80 a piece and sit in top 10 rows, however down there you will be heckled A LOT!

In 2002 there was a huge dolphin fan next to us, he stripped down to his painted chest in early December – Now if YOU were to do that, probably the heckling would be reduced and maybe even turn into cheering? Who knows? But one thing is absolutely certain, if you wear your fish colors there will be a ton of “SQUISH THE FISH” yelling directed straight at you.

My seats are in the 336 section and the view is great. Also, I am on the Bills side which greatly reduces the brisk cold breeze that will be blowing in your face for the duration of the game. I remember in 2002 there was a blizzard and at some points in the game we couldn’t even see the other side of the field because the snow was too thick. Last year for the Dec28th game, I was tailgating in a T-Shirt so who the hell knows?

The only piece of advice that I have for you is to keep to yourself and don’t heckle the Bills fans, ignore them. At the Saints game this year I saw two women and 1 guy punching each other in the face, it was a sight to see… Not sure who started it but it was the first time I saw two women going at it.

The Ralph is easy to find and easy to find parking and a place to tailgate. We might not have a great team but we sure have a great tailgate!

“oh the Bills are going to win, the Dolphins suck!!”

I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that!

Heckling takes place everywhere if you’re in another team’s jersey, it’s just how it works. I got a roast beef sandwich thrown at me last year at the bills/Broncos game after Lynch got his first TD.

Most enemy fans are very cool. They give you some crap, especially in the concession tunnel or in the bathroom. But, when you are watching the game, don’t jump up and down like an idiot after every play. It’s okay to yell when your team scores, but don’t make a huge deal out of it. Bills fans are mostly family or 30-years season ticket holders. No drama.
The rough places are the endzone seats or the Rockpile. Don’t go there.
Thor

are great. They were really friendly to the bills fans, but had a very cynical and self depreciating humor. They mocked their team openly and at one point cheered loudly when a short pass was completed. A Bills fan asked a group why they were so friendly towards other fans and this old man says "Well because the game isn’t between you or me. If it was I sure as “heck” wouldn’t be here. No, the game is to see which group of over paid doofuses is feeling more frisky today. You like the Blue and Red Variety and I like the off Yellow Variety."

Dolphins fan,eh? Here’s my advice.

1. Wearing dolphins gear will be fine. However, Buffalo people are very sociable, and we will become angry unless you talk to us. I recommend going up to some well lubricated person and using the following conversation starters:

- Wasn’t it awesome when Louis Oliver broke Jim Kelly’s bursa sac on his 103 yard interception return back in 1992?

- Isn’t it great how Miami has a good team and awesome weather, while the Bills suck and you live in the snow?

- I thought what happened to Kevin Everett was hilarious, didn’t you?

2. The view from the 300 level is not so great. I recommend going up to the edge of the overhang, and leaning over as far as you can to get a better view. Maybe ask a Buffalo fan to hold you so you don’t fall over. Maybe someone you asked the questions to from #1.

3. The wind and weather at the Ralph are actually very mild. I recommend going in a tanktop, short-shorts, and flip flops.

4. It’s easy to navigate around the Ralph. If you get lost, look for a sign with a male figure that says “restrooms” on it. That’s a good place to go and rest for a while, and maybe ask somebody for directions.

5. People will accept you only if you are honest about your Dolphins fandom. Try saying things like, “Dan Marino was a much better quarterback than Jim Kelly,” and, “Scott Norwood had a great 1990 season, don’t you think?” Then say some bad things about chicken wings. You’ll be fine.

Above all, remember to have fun :)

People love food, regarless of the stripes they wear.

Comments are opened back up to get you some more answers….

Youll be able to move down. Like I said before Ive been going to games for 15+ years and not once have I ever been asked by an usher to see my ticket… I have seasons down low but Ive sold them before and bought upper deck tickets for cheaper then moved down to another section in the lower bowl. I suggest waiting until the second quarter before you move down thought because majority of the time people are still coming in throughout the 1st quarter so they can get their last 3 blue lights down (guilty of that myself) in the parking lot haha. But goodluck
