The Buffalo Bills are now requiring everyone five and up to provide proof of vaccination when attending games and other events at Highmark Stadium.
“In accordance with the New York State Mandate, the Buffalo Bills and Highmark Stadium are updating its vaccination policy,” the team said in a Wednesday release. “Beginning immediately, all guests 5-11 will be required to present proof of at least the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine for entry into all events, concerts, and Bills games.”
As of Nov. 3, children ages 5 to 11 years old are eligible for the Pfizer Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccine and the team said guests 5 and older will be required to display one of the following before entering Highmark Stadium:
- Physical Vaccination Card — photo will NOT be accepted.
- NYS Excelsior Pass.
- Clear Digital Vaccine Card — individuals under 14 are not eligible for the Clear app.
- Government digital vaccine proof from outside NYS.
All guests age 12 and older are required to provide proof of complete vaccination for entry, and COVID-19 negative test results will not be accepted — the team said there will be no exceptions made to the vaccine requirement.
More information about attending games at Highmark Stadium can be found here.
The Bills (8-6) travel to the New England Patriots (9-5) on Sunday and close out the season with a two-game homestand — the Atlanta Falcons (6-8) on Jan. 2 and the New York Jets (3-11) on Jan. 9.

This is absolute nonsense.
Thanks Dictator Hochul.
Fans should just boycott and not show up en mass believe me this nonsense would go away stat!
Exactly. Until you hit them in the pockets they will keep doing this. Bills fans are too loyal. But imagine the season comes down to beating the Jets at home to get in the playoffs and the stadium is empty. That would go a long way.
This is the way.
I agree with all of the comments above.
Does this include tailgating, or can you party for hours outside the stadium maskless, then provide all of the BS documentation before going inside? It’s a joke.
Bills have history of missing left.
Most infamously wide right, but as a theatre guy, I can live with wide (stage) left for the sake of your joke. 😉
