Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has some big goals of bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Western New York. It's clear from his messaging that it's one of his main goals throughout his career. However, that's not all, as Allen opened up to the media about a bucket list item he's held near and dear to his heart, and it's something within reach for the reigning MVP.

His goal ever since he was a child was to visit all 32 NFL stadiums, and he gets a chance to cross one more off his bucket list with an upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. Dan Fetes, Sports anchor and reporter at 13WHAM, shared the interview on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"It's pretty cool, it's surreal. Still doing what I get to do and love what I'm doing. It's a bucket list to visit all 32 as a kid, I guess this is a way to do that," Allen said. "I believe Levi's Stadium, San Francisco, and this one might be it."

What's funny is that by proximity, Levi's Stadium is closest to Firebaugh, California, Allen's hometown. The Bills did take on the San Francisco 49ers in 2024, with Allen having his famous receiving touchdown after a lateral from wide receiver Amari Cooper, but the game was in Buffalo.

After the game against the Atlanta Falcons, the only stadium remaining on Allen's bucket list will be Levi's Stadium. A lifelong goal is well within reach for the franchise quarterback; it's especially made even sweeter with the fact that the Super Bowl will be played there. If Buffalo can run the gauntlet, Allen could cross off multiple bucket list items within one season.

Allen is both a student and a fan of the game

The reigning MVP has defied all the odds since entering the NFL, silencing critics left and right along the way. One of the biggest goals in his life can only be derailed by the league's scheduling quirks.

Even then, Allen could hypothetically pop his head in for a game later on in his life at Levi's Stadium, but we have a feeling he'll achieve his lifelong dream in the next few seasons in the NFL.

It's another reminder that, for all his success, Allen still views football with the same awe he had as a child. Whether studying opposing defenses or soaking in stadium atmospheres, he never lost that fan perspective that fuels his drive.
