As the Buffalo Bills gear up for their Wildcard Playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a call to arms—or shovels—has been issued. With a forecast predicting severe winter conditions, including substantial snow accumulations and strong winds, the team is asking volunteers to tackle the impending 6″ snowfall expected to blanket Highmark Stadium, New York, to ensure the stadium is game-ready.
We’re going to need some shovelers to get @HighmarkStadm ready for Sunday!
