Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

The Buffalo Bill’s cache is an easy two part multi consisting of 2 micro caches. The small final container has room for a sign in sheet and a small pencil. The final has a kids-proof lid so you will have to push the top and twist to get it open! The micro caches were placed last fall to be sure they would survive the crowds associated with a Bill's Game. Needless to say - you should not try for this cache when the parking lots are filled with 80,000 muggles!
The above coordinates are for a convenient parking spot!

The open air Buffalo Bills Stadium opened in 1973 in Orchard Park after an earlier plan to build a domed stadium in Lancaster was brought to a halt by a citizen’s lawsuit and the discovery of official corruption in the planning bid.
Since 9/11/01, access to the parking areas immediately adjacent to the stadium as well as the stadium itself has been restricted for security concerns.
Permission was granted by Bill’s security to access the parking areas across the street from the stadium (west of Abbott Road) for walking and exercise.

To find the first micro after reaching the parking spot you must look at the scoreboard across the street and find the six big ovals showing the years that the Bill’s won their championships. Use these championship years to solve the coordinates using the key below:

Coordinates for first micro=
N42*46.ABC
W078*47.BCD

A = ones digit of last year Bills won AFC title
B = ones digit of last year Bills won AFL title
C = ones digit of first year Bills won AFL title
D = ones digit of first year Bills won AFC title

Special Note: Update 8/12/07----Recent placement of outhouses near 1st micro---no information or microcaches are located in/on the portable toilets that are sometimes placed in the parking lots!

Good luck!!!!!

Got the info needed from stage 1, but the road to stage 2 is chained off with a no trespassing sign, so I didn't try for it.

Found whilst on holiday from Wales.

A fun cache to do with UBtastic and Jaspa after the Bills/Dolphins game whilst waiting for the traffic to die down.

The game itself was fantastic - the Bills won and we got to see Bruce Smith being presented with his hall of fame ring at half time.

Many thanks for the fun cache.

*edited to take out some of the jetlag-inspired typos...*

Had fun doing this cache with UBtastic and Von-Horst after watching the Bills beat Miami 31 to 14! We waited until the area had quietened down significantly, but were still extra careful not to be noticed. TFTC
