Buffalo Bills ownership has announced a new policy that will require all fans to be vaccinated to attend games at Highmark Stadium and KeyBank Center, home of the Buffalo Sabres, this season.

Pegula Sports & Entertainment, along with Erie County, announced Tuesday afternoon that beginning with the Sept. 26 game against the Washington Football Team, all fans ages 12 and up must have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot in order to attend. That rule will expand to requiring all attendees over the age requirement to be fully vaccinated starting with the October 31 game vs. the Miami Dolphins.

Masks will no longer be required for those above the age of 12 once the new policy is in place.

"If you do not want to get vaccinated ... that does not give you a right to go to a football game or a hockey game," Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz said. "If you want to go to the games, get vaccinated."

Okay, here we go. Vaccine passports are being rolled out, and will be required in more and more places as time goes on.

Shouldn’t they make sure each person in attendance has every vaccine they are supposed to?

The Bills are in last place. They lost 4 super bowls. Such a sorry franchise.

If I’m a season ticket holder and have paid for those season tickets then I better get in.

How do you know? Maybe they don’t care if fans come see the game.

If the team is changing the rules, they ought to provide refunds for season ticket holders.

They get paid anyway right? Stadium revenues are a miniscule piece of the pie.

I have had the vaccine.

If a business demands proof from me, I’ll show it and leave.

I’ll let them know in no uncertain terms that I do not buy
into vaccine mandates, or “passports”.

The stadium looked somewhat full last night. Did I miss something? Did they not follow through with their mandate?

In contrast to the gloriously packed and mask-less Arrowhead Stadium last weekend. The panning cameras showed a sea of happy, loud, and red-clad spectators.

I have heard that the NFL teams make a lot more money from TV rights, than they do from selling tickets to fans going to the games at the stadium.

I would suspect they don’t really care if you attend ... you’ve already paid, so bend over and take the jabs or go home and cry a lot.

There seems to be an ongoing epidemic of “gunshot-wounds-to-the-foot” among NFL executives, team owners and spokesmen.

Could he be looking for a Tax Write-Off?

Can you make monay ‘shorting’ your own team?
