‘”It’s an incredible prize, and we’re super grateful,” said Josh with his wife, Christine, and his two kids. “We love Josh Allen, we follow the Bills all the time. When I got the phone call, I think my first words were, ‘Stop it! Stop lying to me, this is just too much!'”‘

‘”They will be prepared with support, should any of the guys experienced any trauma or be triggered once they’re in the venue,” said Peiper in an interview with WBEN. “We know that trauma is very individual, and can be kind of unpredictable. So certainly preparing to offer support in the event that, individually, any of them should need that during that time.”‘

‘Andy Major with the Bills admits the traffic pattern will be different because it’s a Thursday night game, with people coming from work or school. He says there is good news. “We’ve got plenty of parking, we haven’t turned fans away at all this season, because they couldn’t find a parking space,” says Major.’

‘”A couple of tough losses, you were seeing prices decrease as fans kind of become disinterested, which seems like it’s a weird phenomenon compared to the beginning of the year,” said Giammusso with WBEN.’

‘All stadium lots open at *4:20 p.m. and drivers are asked NOT to park on the shoulder of the roadways for pedestrian safety.’

‘The team announced that all controlled detonations that were taking place for the removal of solid rock formations have been carried out safely and successfully. Moving forward, mass excavation will continue to the field leve,l while responsibly managing the removal and transportation of material to a designated storage location for sustainable reuse once the new stadium construction is complete.’

‘Buffalo’s next prime-time will take place this coming Sunday when the team hosts the New York Giants at Highmark Stadium on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football”. It’s the first of three total prime-time games the Bills are scheduled to host this year.’

‘“We’ll see if, whatever comes up down the road in terms of us coming back here, but we need to evaluate everything because I didn’t feel like our energy was good enough early in the game. [The Jaguars] had better energy than we did,” McDermott said.’

‘While some will eventually make their way across the pond and others may already be in London for this weekend’s game, a group of 54 Bills fans boarded a tour bus on Thursday to head to Toronto, Ontario, where they will fly out on a one-way trip to London courtesy of AAA of Western and Central New York.’

‘”Basically the day the schedule came out,” said Keith Morgan, owner of the Tavern at Windsor Park in Williamsville. “We decided that now that the law had changed to allow us to apply for a license up to 12 times a year to open early on a Sunday, we would take advantage of it and open up, show the game, have some breakfast items available for people to eat, and just have a good time.”‘

‘”We’re seeing three different types of travelers,” said Elizabeth Carey with the AAA of Western and Central New York. “There’s our group trip where people are going and there’s some sightseeing involved. It’s four nights and five days, so it’s not very long. But others are making it a much bigger trip. They’re going to Ireland and Scotland and then London. And still others are going to the game and then they’re going somewhere else overseas.”‘

‘”We meet every Sunday for the 1 o’clock and 4 o’clock starts on the East coast at the Fitzrovia Belle,” Evans said of the origin of the London Bills Backers. “We’ve been there for the last three years, and when we first started, there were only about 10-15 of us that went regularly. This Sunday, we had over 100 people, but I think that’s because a lot of folks were in from out-of-town early. But we usually have around 50 folks that show up now to watch the game.”‘

‘”I don’t know, probably took about an extra half hour, 40 minutes or so. It really wasn’t too bad,” said Bills fan Lane from Adams Center near Watertown. “We parked down the road here just in someone’s yard, and it wasn’t terrible.”‘

‘”What’s changed here is the phone calls by the thousands to ask about parking. We’re offering parking like we did last year. I’m just suggesting the people come early, take a little time. Don’t try to come at the last minute, because I believe the Bills will run out of a lot of parking spots,” said Mark Ebeling, owner of Danny’s South at the corner of Abbott and Big Tree Roads. “There’s a lot of parking out here, [but] you had a lot to go to like the ‘Mud Lot,’ it’s not there no more. It’s gone. Across the street from the Bills stadium is gone. So take some time and come out early. The parking is still here.”‘
