Buffalo Bills fans have a reputation as some of the best fans in the NFL. And, they’re proving why with some crazy dedication to help get their stadium ready to play for Monday’s AFC Wild Card Round game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The game has already been postponed from Sunday to Monday due to an incredible blizzard coming off of Lake Erie effecting the the entire Buffalo Metro area. Snowfalls of around two feet have fallen in areas, with dangerously strong winds creating hazardous conditions.
But, someone has to get the stadium playable for tomorrow’s game, and the Buffalo Bills put out an advertisement for fans and local residents to come help shovel snow for $20 an hour and a free meal.
Naturally, tons of fans showed up, and some were even shirtless in the heinous conditions. Take a look.
INSANE… #Bills fans are shirtless while shoveling the snow in the stadium, sliding down steps
😳😳😳
There is no one like #BillsMafia

That is some classic Bills Mafia stuff. I was lucky enough to tailgate with Bills mafia as a kid at one of the most famous tailgates in the NFL. They claim to have invented the shotski. Anyway, these people are nuts. Completely crazy. But, that’s what we’ve come to expect from some of the most hardcore fans in the NFL.
The game is scheduled for 4:30PM on CBS, though there’s a chance it could be postponed further if conditions don’t improve in Orchard Park.
