PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Hitting the road to support your favorite team can be a hassle, only compounded by moving away and having to wait for them to come visit you.

It's something Philadelphia Bills Backers co-president Amanda Colburn is aware of as she looks up in the sky in Center City, Philadelphia.

"This is city hall, William Penn sitting up there," Colburn said. "Look at this!"

Making her way into Tir Na Nog, an Irish bar just blocks away from the famed Philadelphia Museum of Art or the "Rocky" steps. It's where communities gather to watch local Philly sports and a lot of soccer. If you happen to be Bills Mafia away from the 716, they've got you covered.

You'd be surprised how many transplants end up in the City of Brotherly Love's embrace looking to start fresh.

"It's hard to make friends as a grown-up," said Jeff Brennan, co-president of the Philadelphia Bills Backers. "Like what are you gonna do just walk up to somebody at a coffee shop like a weirdo? Like 'Hey, what do you do? What's your name, man?' But it's different here because it's like you already broke the ice."

The Philly backers presidents have been collectively welcoming in weary wagon circlers for decades, although the difference between bleeding midnight green or red and blue isn't much.

"There's a lot of parallels between Buffalo and Philadelphia like both blue-collar cities like hard-nosed attitudes," said Brennan.

"I thought coming to Philly, you think like, the fans have a bad rap," said Colburn. "Nah, they're just diehard just like us. We just want our team to win. We love these guys."

The team, yes, but also guys like DJ Andrew Mojica.

"I moved down to Philadelphia because my fiancee lives out here now," said Mojica. "So I moved out for the love and decided to be a teacher and a DJ on the side."

He can't blare the third down train horn as loud as he wants to so the backers can stay in this downtown locale, but the trademark songs and traditions are a beacon for anyone visiting the 215.

"It's so important, honestly, the sense of community. The sense of community is really there," he added. "You always need to have that piece of home. And honestly in the offseason, you kind of lose that. And then when it comes back to the football season, you're really killing it."

Even on a Thursday night with the Bills scraping by a lowly Tampa Bay club, you can tell what this place means to everyone here.

"People keep coming back because it's we just built such a community like these are our friends now," said Colburn.

"That's a part of buffalo that if you've ever lived there never really leaves you," said Brennan. "You know and I think there's a lot of that here in Philly too."

But the big question for these Philly-based mafia members — is it still wings for them or do cheesesteaks do the trick?

"Oh my god, wings all day," exclaimed Colburn and just about everyone asked at the bar. "Are you kidding me?!"

And what happens when the City of Good Neighbors meets the city of brotherly love on the gridiron?

"Anytime you get flack from anybody in Philly, you say these words," said Mojica. "I'll see you in the Super Bowl."

You love to see the fandom represented on the road. But that goes both ways a little bit. Of course Nick Sirianni, the Eagles head coach is from Jamestown, about an hour south of Buffalo. So there are some Western New Yorkers who you might see in shades of midnight green this weekend.
