'We have not had this much snow as far as we know in the history of our team,' said Bills VP of Operations and Guest Experience Andy Major. 'It might take three days or so to remove one foot of snow before a game and now we’ve got four feet of snow on a 200 acre site where there’s potential for more coming. So right there it gives you the magnitude.'

The first step is to clear the field to make it safe to play. Then they'll concentrate on plowing the parking lots and digging out the concourses, gates, stands, entryways, stairs and seats.
'We’re just going to have to go 24/7, triple shifts, to push forward and make sure we have this place ready for Sunday. We can’t have too many people helping. We will definitely not be turning anybody away who wants to help shovel snow,' says Major.
