Geocache Description:


This cache is not located at the posted coordinates.

From 1981-1999, the Buffalo Bills roamed on the nearby fields when SUNY Fredonia was their home for training camp. This included NFL Hall of Fame members Andre Reed, Bill Polian, Bruce Smith, James Lofton, Jim Kelly, Marv Levy, Ralph Wilson, and Thurman Thomas.

The team experienced tremendous success during their time at Fredonia including:

  • 10 seasons with 10 or more wins 
  • 11 seasons with playoff appearances
  • 4 straight Superbowl appearances from 1991-1994

Since leaving, the Bills have not been able to reproduce the success they had at Fredonia. Should they return to Fredonia and end the Rochester curse? 

To find the final coordinates you will need to complete the puzzle below.
