Polian says BOA will be "50% Bills Fans"

$12 beers is a win/win

There will be decent showing of Bills games based on the fact Bills fans only get to see their team in Charlotte every 8 years and there is a significant number of transplants from Western NY.  I was at the game in 2009 when we last played them and was surprised by the number of fans, although it was nowhere even close to 50% or even close to when we play any team from the NFC East or the Steelers.

I expect there to be about the normal number of opposing fans as there is when we play a division rival.

And to be honest, Bills fans are at least in my experience pretty awesome.  They are definitely not bandwagoners in any sense.  Kind of hard to be when you have the longest playoff drought in the entire NFL.  My wife's best friend's family is from Buffalo and will be at the game.  They know they are building for the future, and they will be totally happy to be competitive this year.  Bills fans love tailgating and will be entertaining to watch.  When your team has been that bad for that long, you have to focus on the experience and not the result.  

That being said, we have lost to the Bills 5 out of the 6 times we have played them.  Not sure, but we may have the worst winning percentage against them of any team in the league.

McDermott will have them ready to play.  However, we clearly have the more talented team and should win provided we don't turn the ball over.

I can't speak for the entire stadium, but there have been plenty of games when the opposition fan level reached the 50% level up in my nosebleed section.  Would kind of be surprised if it happened with Buffalo, but certainly not shocked.

It won't be 50% but it will be 30%

60/40

They are trying to create some sort of interest in a game that most couldn't care less about.

I want to see someone put a Bills fan through a table at the Roaring Riot tailgate then cover his ass in mustard

This but with ketchup.

Don't waste the greatest condiment of all time on a drunken overweight Bills fan.

One more thing... Fug Bill Polian.

Complete and utter disrespect.  I would put Panthers fan definitely in the top half, and maybe the top 25% of all NFL fanbases.  

We've sold out every game since 2001.  Yes, there are some opposing fans in the stadium, more or less depending on who we're playing, but it has never been even 50% for any game I've been to over the last 12 years.

[Jangler]

most of those 'fans' are looking for a new team,....like a winner.

50% yeah right.

Season tickets since the beginning. I can't remember a regular season game being close to 50%. Steelers preseason game maybe. 

Packers and Steelers regular season games are a disgrace though.

I don't think Bill really understand what 50% of something really means.
