The Stampede: November 25th Bowling Green at Buffalo

The Bowling Green game

Wednesday November 23rd:

Where to stay:

It is thanksgiving weekend, so the campus will be empty.  So instead of staying near campus, you definitely have to stay downtown.  You can get by Wednesday without a rental car, but you will need one for the rest of the weekend.

Stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites to ensure proximity to the Chippewa District for Wednesday, one of the biggest party nights of the year.


Get your grub on:

Head to the anchor bar for wings, its a must do on any trip to Buffalo.

Get your drink on:

Just go outside, Buffalo's party district is at your door.  Drinks are cheap and covers are minimal so surf from bar to bar and try to last till 4am.

After drinking, Buffaloians flock to Jim's Steakout for hoagies.
