Videos showing fans plodding through waist-high snow to find their seats for the Bills-Steelers game are flooding social media. Dedication to the cause is on full display!
Weather issues have been well-documented ahead of the playoff matchup, seeing the game postponed a day due to snowy conditions. There were even calls to move the contest to a new city, though the NFL opted to stay put, granting Buffalo its homefield advantage.
Postapocalyptic scenes were witnessed over the weekend, giving the league no other option but to wait for storms to pass. That hasn’t scared anyone off, though.
In fact, it’s done quite the opposite.
Bills fans were called upon to speed up the venue preparations by shoveling snow from the stands at Highmark Stadium. There’s no discounting their passion as they do everything in their power to help the team advance through the playoffs.
And as one might guess, the pregame festivities weren’t affected by that weather as an endless number of tables fell victim to rowdy Bills supporters.
As kickoff neared, those tailgaters made their ways into the stadium. Many battled to find their seats in waist-high snow.

In a funny way, it brought fans together even more, at least in the minutes leading up to kickoff!
