Mask mandate largely ignored during Buffalo Bills’ season-opening game

Everyone attending events at Highmark Stadium is supposed to wear a mask in enclosed spaces. That was not enforced on Sunday in the Buffalo Bills’ first home game of the season, except by the Health Department after the fact.

Here is the exact wording of the rule:

“Per Erie County guidelines, masks or facial coverings are required regardless of vaccination status when visiting the indoor settings at Highmark Stadium. This includes the 100 and 300 level concourses, suites, restrooms and other enclosed spaces. Seating will not be designated by vaccination status.”

Plenty of Bills’ players’ family members happily posted pictures in suites without masks.
