What an incredible day it was! We found out Friday night that Christopher won a Twitter contest from Northtown Automotive to receive a private tour of Ralph Wilson Stadium and the Buffalo Bills facilities given by Sammy Watkins! We were absolutely thrilled and Christopher picked me to be his plus 1. He said it would make for a memorable anniversary - and he was right!
Sammy was super personable, friendly, took pictures with everyone and was a down to earth guy.
We toured the press box at the stadium, went onto the field, through the end zone tunnel, into the game day locker room (which according to Sammy is very serious and not as cool as the players locker room), field house and outdoor training facility, players locker room, weight room and training rooms and the team conference meeting room. IT WAS AMAZING!
We asked Sammy how he felt about press conferences. He said he received a lot of prep in college and he still gets a little nervous in front of the media. He gave me a few pointers - what do you think? I think I am ready for my first press conference - put me in coach!
Smiling ear to ear! It was a great afternoon with our tour guide and friends.
Sammy even signed a special picture for Christopher and I in celebration of our wedding anniversary. What a keepsake! We also had him sign a mini helmet and a baseball cap and some items for friends/family.
We even ran into a couple other players, including Aaron Williams!
It was a fantastic afternoon and one I will remember FOREVER! Huge thanks to Northtown Automotive, the Buffalo Bills and Sammy Watkins for a great experience!
