WGRZ- Buffalo Bills' fans headed to the game on Sunday will have to deal with new rules to curb excessive drinking prior to games, a new ticket policy and traffic changes.
At 8am, Abbot Road will be closed to vehicle traffic between the entrance to Lot 4 and Lot 2. All traffic will be diverted at that time. Fans will still be able to access the private lots along Abbott Road if you're coming from the south. Beginning at 9am, parking lots at New Era Field will open. Erie County Sheriff's deputies will be looking to eliminate excessive consumption of alcohol and checking for glass bottles. They are also reminding fans that they need to adhere to the "Fan Code of Conduct", which also includes the parking lots. Table slamming will not be permitted and those who violate the rule will be ejected and could face criminal charges. ---- First of all, this seems like too little, too late. You don't just allow of culture of rampant and raucous degeneracy to develop for years on end, and then all the sudden rein in it without warning. If I know Bills Mafia like I think I know Bills Mafia, this attempt at pouring a little water on their (figurative and literal) fire will have the exact same exact effect as gasoline. Good luck to the cops, I guess, but something tells me they are going to need a goddamn SWAT team to even slightly curb binge drinking in Buffalo on a gameday. Putting a stop to the breaking of tables? Ha! Why not just allocate another resource or two and achieve world peace while they are at it? Second of all, now?!? Now is when you want Bills fans to start behaving themselves? After having an impotent Ravens team put up 47 points on the team with which they live and die the week prior? They are about to lay witness to a dumpster fire of a season that will more than likely put to shame the actual dumpster they lit on fire. A season that, even by their insanely low standards, has all the makings of a complete shit show, and they are supposed to endure it while somewhat sober? I wouldn't let my worst enemy invest emotionally in a team that was led by Nathan Peterman/Josh Allen, never mind one that kept the pocket about as protected as the sex taking place in the back of a pickup truck 100 yards outside Gate D, without first having him meet the bottom of the bottle. Therefore, come hell or Miller High Life, I know that the lovable losers who live and breathe solely so that they can make it to the next life-threatening tailgate wouldn't dare let their Bills Mafia brethren suffer that fate either. Not only should these cops call for backup now, but their backup should call for backup now.
