ONE OF THE MOST ANTICIPATED BILLS SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!
While we won’t be able to cheer on the team from the stands for the first two home games, there are a lot of other ways for you to show your support for this upcoming season. Here are the best ideas to turn your not so typical Bills Sundays' into the best socially distant game day possible.
Buffalo is home to so much good food and breweries. The thing that I will miss the most about not being at the stadium is the good grub at the tailgates. The number of restaurants that are in Buffalo and around the suburbs allows you to pick from an array of options for your spread of food.
