New York State officials are announcing that a limited number of Buffalo Bills fans will be allowed at the team’s upcoming playoff game. Fans will be required to get a test before the game through the NFL’s lab-partner, and contract-tracing will be done afterwards.
Just over 6,700 fans will be allowed to attend. Tailgating remains banned. The game will be either January 9 or 10, and marks Buffalo’s first home playoff game in over 20 years.
