Denver, Colo. (WBEN) - After a dramatic Wild Card round win over the Jacksonville Jaguars this past Sunday, the Buffalo Bills are off to Denver for a battle with the Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round.
Ahead of Saturday afternoon's kickoff, the Bills contingent in the "Mile High City" are ready to welcome fellow members of "Bills Mafia".
David Goerger of the Denver Bills Backers group says it will be a busy weekend.
"We have a party on Friday night at our home bar, Stoney's Uptown Tavern. That's where we'll be watching the game on Saturday," said Goerger in an interview with WBEN. "For those of us who aren't going to the game, we're also linked up with a great organization that's going to be doing a tailgate at Iron Works, which is a venue less than a half mile from the stadium."
Goerger expects the bar to be packed early with Buffalo food and beer specials.
As for Saturday's game itself, Goerger says tickets are available, but they're a bit pricey
"Denver obviously has a really good team this year, and everybody wants to see Josh Allen play. But we know there are a bunch of tickets available," Goerger said.
He adds about 15 or 20 Bills Backers are going to the game.
This Bills Backers group in Denver recently formed at the start of last season in Denver.
"[Between] 90 and 140 people show up each week, and obviously for the playoffs, it's going to be big," Goerger noted. "Everybody comes out, nobody wants to sit at home and watch the game. They want to be with a bunch of other crazed Bills fans."
Goerger says there are fans who show up in Broncos garb at the bar, but those fans tend to be respectful and polite.
"It's more of a fun rivalry than, say, the [New England] Patriots or any other organization," Goerger added.
Kickoff on Saturday is slated for 4:30 p.m. EST at Empower Field at Mile High.
