Buffalo Bills Ask Fans to Help Shovel Snow Before Playoff Game
For the second time in less than a week, the Buffalo Bills are asking fans to help shovel snow from their home stadium before a playoff game. This time, it's Sunday's divisional playoff contest against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The team says it will again pay volunteers $20 an hour and provide them with breaks in "a comfortable, warm" area in Highmark Stadium.
Blizzard-like conditions pummeled the area last weekend and forced the postponement of Sunday's wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers to Monday.
The Bills shared video last Saturday showing whiteout conditions inside the stadium.
A second lake-effect snow system dumped more than two feet of snow in some areas this week, and more was expected.
The hardest hit Buffalo suburbs have seen an estimated five-to-six feet since Saturday.
Last weekend, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul imposed a full travel ban in Erie County but has since lifted it.
