Fans attending Buffalo Bills' playoff game taking COVID-19 tests
The Buffalo Bills administered more than 5,000 COVID-19 tests in their stadium parking lot on Wednesday alone as they prepare to host about 6,700 fans for Saturday's playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Bills owner and team president Kim Pegula told ESPN in a phone interview Wednesday that the New York State government insisted that all fans and gameday staff be tested if it was to approve the plan to allow fans into Bills Stadium for the first time this season.
The team added a $63 surcharge to the game's ticket price to cover the cost of testing, then sent appointment times to everyone who got tickets so they could be tested on the stadium site in the days leading up to the game.
