ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- When the Buffalo Bills host their first playoff game in 25 years, they will be doing so in front of a live audience.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday that Bills Stadium will be open to a limited number of fans for the playoffs. Bills games had been closed to fans for the entire 2020 regular season as part of New York state's COVID-19 protocols regarding professional sports.
The plan allows for 6,700 fans, with attendees needing to register a negative COVID-19 test before being granted entrance. The team will work with the state's Department of Health to conduct contact tracing afterward.
