Buffalo has been hit hard by snow recently, but it hasn’t stopped the Bills from playing a playoff game at Highmark Stadium, thanks in part to shoveling help the organization received from fans.
Buffalo asked for—and received help from—plenty of paid volunteers in the lead-up to their wild-card playoff victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week. Well, the Bills needed assistance once again ahead of their divisional round game against the Kansas City Chiefs—and this group of shovelers may have outdone their predecessors.
Ahead of Sunday’s clash against the Chiefs, the Bills showcased just how hard the shovelers worked, posting a mesmerizing, time-lapse video of Highmark Stadium being cleared of snow onto their account on X, formerly Twitter.
Check it out.
There’s snow place like Buffalo.

The video truly does put into perspective just how much snow was in the stadium—and just how hard the volunteers worked.
In addition to the video, the Bills thanked all the shovelers who helped clear the stadium of over two feet of snow, which had accumulated thanks to a second blizzard hitting the Orchard Park area.
The franchise paid shovelers $20 an hour, providing the volunteers with food and drink, as well as a warm area to take breaks.
Buffalo, favored by three points over the Chiefs, will be looking to snap a two-game postseason losing streak against Kansas City.
