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 yesterday 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.
Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz cited that this past week the county saw the highest number of positive COVID-19 cases since April.
