Any points I have to make will probably be better served on the COVID-19 thread, and honestly I am here for football. I work at a Medical Center and University and feel those are more worthwhile conversations.

 

I thought this was about stadium entry, how to prove vax status, why, what to do if you are persona non grata now.

I work at the same.  The issue is simple: get vaccinated to enter the stadium.  If not, sell or give back your tickets.

Stadium entry, vax status etc are addressed within the thread. As for what you can do if persona non grata there are some options. First request a refund by 9/17 if you have season tix. There is talk of pursuing refunds for individual games with legal action. As for attending a Bills game in person, I would suggest taking a visit to a less restrictive state and attending a Bills game there. You have @ MIA, @JAX, and @ TEN for starters.

And on that note, I'm locking this thing.

@ThurmanThomasEnglishMuffin has a very valid point that the thread has drifted way away from its purpose of:

-discussion of stadium entry

-how to prove vax status without bringing your card

-why the Bills/Erie County likely made the decision they did on negative tests

-what to do with your tickets if you don't wish to meet the new entry requirements

-@Boatdrinks added some useful points regarding Bills games in other states unvaccinated fans might attend (@KC is likely to be another choice)

 

@oldmanfan summed it up succinctly. 

 

 

I may be overruled but I'm shutting it down.

Well... I guess some fans will at least benefit from Beasley's um... ideals? 

 

Edit: Sorry if posted. I did a bunch of searches & didn't find anything. Just hope this weird saga comes to an end soon.

Hope the guy doesn’t get the swollen testicles from the virus.

If We Must. I really don't want to reprise the 72 page long Beasley's Tweets thread here.

 

This tweet was in the Highmark Stadium thread that did get locked eventually, after it had drifted completely away from discussing the stadium policy and any issues that might underly it.

 

I can't find it now but one guy responded asking if Beasley could buy tickets for himself and his 22 kids. 😝

 

It's Beasley and Reid Ferguson.

After Erie County and Pegula Sports and Entertainment announced Tuesday that proof of vaccination is a requirement for entry to home games, Bills All-Pro slot receiver Cole Beasley, who has been one of the most vocal NFL players against vaccination mandates, and long snapper Reid Ferguson each responded to unvaccinated fans on social media who expressed disappointment in the edict by offering to purchase tickets to the road game of their choice.

The Bills are one of four NFL teams playing in stadiums where fans are required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination for entry, joining the Seahawks, Saints and Raiders. 

 

If Reid Ferguson is unvaccinated, I hope AJ Epenesa is working diligently on his LS skills, Just in Case.

Added some information confirming that our Canadian friends will be able to enter the US and Highmark with a combination of two doses of any vaccine:
