I wouldn't want to go to any games that required you to get a life-changing "vaccine" in order to attend. No thanks.
In 18-months, when 1/2 the people in that stadium begin having mental problems, auto-immune problems, strokes, blood clots or other serious health issues from taking the "vaccine"... I will still refuse to go to those games at the stadium. :>)
"Fans who don’t have a smartphone or the app will be able to access and print out their vaccination record online," how dare they assume everyone has access to the internet? This is racist as hell!!!!
I will love sitting back, watching all these morons fail. Airlines, NFL, MLB etc. it’s all going to bite them in the ass because we’re stronger, we don’t take BS and will adapt just fine.

Vaccine Mandatory for Buffalo Bills Games: NY County Executive
BY JACK PHILLIPS
April 14, 2021
The county executive in Erie County, New York, suggested that COVID-19 vaccinations will be mandatory to attend Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres games in person.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, a Democrat, told news outlets Tuesday that “there is no God-given right to attend a football game.”
“No Vaccine = No Entry” is what a slide that was displayed by Poloncarz read during his press conference Tuesday. Poloncarz said he spoke with Bills’ management about his plan.
“I want to see that stadium full, I know the Bills want to see that stadium full. We want to return fans back to the stadium,” Poloncarz said in a news conference. “That’s why the county supports returning all fans to the stadium and (hockey) arena for this fall … We know there’s a way to do it. We know there’s a way to ensure it. That’s that all fans and staff are fully vaccinated.”
Poloncarz added that “unless you are vaccinated, you will not have entry to the stadium,” adding that “we can then guarantee 70,000-plus people at the stadium.” He said that medical and religious exemptions will not be accommodated.
To do this, Poloncarz said he wants to use the state’s recently rolled-out vaccine passport-type system Excelsior. Such passport-type systems have been criticized by civil liberties groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and were banned via executive orders by the governors of Texas and Florida.
In a statement to The Epoch Times, a spokesman for Erie County said the move “will ultimately affect fans from outside of state/Canada (when the border opens up), but (like local fans) they would also be expected to produce proof of vaccination to enter the stadium or Key Bank Center.”

“Fans who don’t have a smartphone or the app will be able to access and print out their vaccination record online, and the part about children is still being worked on; eligibility keeps increasing and it is only mid-April now, so there will be about three and a half months before any games are played anyway; lots of time to plan,” the spokesman said.
The New York State Department of Health issued a statement to local news outlets following Poloncarz’s remarks.
“The New York State Department of Health continues to work closely with the Buffalo Bills on the plan to return fans to the stands this fall, in accordance with the State’s guidance on professional sports competitions with spectators and all applicable laws and regulations,” the agency said.

“As we did last year, we will continue to cooperate and comply with all New York State and local government regulations regarding our sporting events,” the Buffalo Bills said in a statement after Poloncarz’s press conference.
County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw, a Republican, said Poloncarz is acting in the manner of a dictator.
“Mark Poloncarz should spend less time killing businesses, ruining our economy, and destroying the dreams of die-hard Bills fans watching games in person again,” he said, according to the Buffalo News.
Thanks for this...I am not going to sign up for another site, just to read an article. I know epoch times is good, but already getting too much spam in my email.
Am I missing something? Did this order just come from a County Executive? I do not see anywhere in the article where each of the team owners were consulted, nor the NHL or NFL. I think we may have found a mini-Cuomo.
What's the rationale behind a move like this? The shot doesn't protect you from getting 'covid' or prevent you from spreading it? So their logic is that it's more important that your symptoms are possibly lessened?
When does the first lawsuit start?
Jokes on them, no one watches the Bills anyways.
Thats what i was just wondering lol, was like wait... bills have fans?
For me, No Vaccine = No Ticket = No Problem.

Can't wait for the "I identify as vaccinated. Let me in, bigot!" crowd...
Buffalo does not understand their fans.
NY is a shithole. If it weren’t, why are all the residents fleeing to other states?

Take it the next step further.!
No vaccine = no viewing the game on TV either!
Do it. Make it even MORE rediculous, NFL. Go broke f*cktards.
So many other things to do for entertainment.
Bread & circuses.
