Bills Asking Fans Help Shoveling Snow (Again) For Playoff Matchup vs. Chiefs
Once again, the Buffalo Bills are asking for fans to help clear snow at Highmark Stadium ahead of Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Just like last week, the Bills are offering $20 an hour and a warm break area to those looking to shovel some snow. Prospective shovelers can start on Friday at 2 p.m. ET, more than 48 hours before the game, provided they are over 18 and bring proper photo identification. Fans are encouraged, but not required, to bring their own shovels.

Last week, the Bills asked fans to show up at 10 p.m. ET on Saturday night, 15 hours before their Wild Card Round game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was initially scheduled to kick off. However, conditions worsened after the initial announcement, and as the game was postponed to Monday afternoon, the start time for shoveling was also pushed back to Sunday.
Once fans made it to Highmark Stadium on Sunday, they shoveled snow in a way only Bills Mafia could. Viral videos showed fans going down snow chutes while shirtless, only adding to Bills Mafia's reputation of being one of the craziest fanbases in the league, in a good way of course.
Even with fans' help, there was still plenty of snow in the stands when the Bills kicked off against the Steelers on Monday. Fans probably didn't mind too much, though, as Buffalo defeated Pittsburgh 31-17 in a convincing win.
The area is still getting a good amount of snow after Monday's game, but not nearly as much as last week. Accuweather's forecast calls for a temperature of around 20 degrees Fahrenheit when the Bills and Chiefs kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.
