Bills, Steelers fans dig through waist deep snow, slide down walkways to find seats
Buffalo Bills fans attending the playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers had to grapple with secondary market ticket prices, a postponed game, a travel ban and driving to Highmark Stadium after a snowstorm.
Then there was the manual labor once they entered the stadium.
Fans scooped, dug and excavated through the snow to clear their seats for the game. Stadium crew and fans who took the Bills up on their offer to shovel for $20 per hour were told pregame to focus on walkways and aisles.
Fans took over from there, using their hands, feet and cardboard boxes find a place to sit.

Here’s one guy using a cardboard box to try to dig out his seat. It’s crazy. I’ve seen plenty in 40 years covering games here, but not this. pic.twitter.com/XZwwsjrh47

Still TONS of snow covering the seats in the lower bowl.
I’d say about 70%…
