For those who went to the Washington Game, how was the Vaccination Verification Process?

[Virgil]

My family is coming up to the Texans game and I want to make sure we are prepared for stadium entry.  I know that you can bring your vaccination card, but did anyone use the Clear App?  Also, did they check your ID to see if it matched the vaccination information?

 

Any insight would be helpful. 
 

Also, does anyone know if the field house is open for all the kid activities?

They were not checking IDs with the vaccine card for myself and my brother. My brother is 15 and doesn't have a license, so we brought his passport worried he'd have trouble with just the paper vaccine card, but no issues and they didn't even ask to see the passport. I used the Excelsior app and they gave it a quick glance over and that was that.

they were not checking ID’s, just a quick glance at your card or app and you were good to go.

I used the NYS excelsior app and my ID and it took about 5 seconds. I’m not familiar with the clear app but I would imagine it would be sufficient if it is similar to excelsior. I also entered the stadium at 11 and there wasn’t a noticeable increase in the amount of time it took to get in compared to when I went for the season opener.

It was easy.....think of a 2 window service at McDonald's lol (one looks at the paper or phone and the other your ticket).

[Max Fischer]

As usual, the stadium looked full.

Lines were long but verification took about 3 seconds using clear app.

Easy-peasy.   Just walked through the gate holding vaccination card facing toward screeners.     They just glanced at it.   I kept walking.   No delay at all.    Took all of 5 minutes to get into the stadium at around 12:35.

Very easy, no delay from it. Have your card (or App), show it, and move through.

So basically, anybody with a fake card gets in.  Lovely.

I know of someone who used a screenshot off of someone else's phone that was texted to him and he just walked right in.

[JÂy RÛßeÒ]

I too showed my physical card but was not asked to provide an ID verifying it was mine and I am me.  So it could have been anyone's.  And it could have been fake.

Was I 100% confident that everyone in attendance was in fact vaccinated?  Based on my own entrance experience, no I was not.  Did I still wear a mask in the concourses and bathrooms?  Yeah.

They should be spot checking inside the gate and enforce rules (including bans) to get rule respected.

Yeah but if they're not actually checking IDs to match the vax cards , they're not doing their jobs 

 

A lot of people could just be using their brother's vax card

I'm guessing the Bills want no part of this vaccine mandate and put out the edict to their people working the gate to feign interest in checking proof of vaccination.  I'd be interested in knowing if any fans at all got turned away for lack of proof.

[LabattBlue]

If someone from the county DOH sees this, and it gets bumped up the food chain, you can bet that the verification process will get more strict as the season progresses. 

[BillsfaninSB]

It was the first time.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they enhance the screening process based on what they learned.

 

I would still bring ID and give yourself extra time just in case.

I'm pretty sure the bills were the one that made the mandate

 

The bills and Erie county made a joint statement.. but something tells me Erie county didn't push anything

 

Cuz Erie county's open with outdoor venue's

Yep...the blabbers always shoot themselves (and everyone else) in the foot.

 

Here's the story people "Everything went fine and everyone followed protocol to a tee!! 🙂🙂🙂"

 

Get it right.
