It was supposed to be a fun-filled excursion for a group of football fans to see a Buffalo Bills home game. Instead, it turned into a disaster-filled trip that saw their bus impounded in the U.S.
Rob Blackburn paid hundreds of dollars for a trip to an NFL game which turned out to be a nightmare experience. Ottawa, Ont.. Nov. 9, 2022. .
What Rob Blackburn wanted and expected for his first-time NFL game experience was an excitement-fuelled two days which included a tailgate party and watching the Bills take on the Green Bay Packers on Oct. 30. Brent Eckford was there too, along with dozens of others who paid between $525 and $699 to Ottawa Sports Tours. The package includes a bus ride from Ottawa, a one-night stay in Niagara Falls, Ont., and a ticket to an NFL game.
“That was something I was really looking forward to as you’re driving up to the stadium it’s nothing that I’ve ever seen before you just see everyone making food and having a beer and just having a good time," said Blackburn, a longtime Bills fan. "I was super excited to walk around and speak to the people that have been fans for years.As the bus pulled into the parking lot, U.S. transport officials noticed its condition and began an inspection.
“The game was good, the Bills won. But around halftime it started sinking in: alright how are we getting home?"
