ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills will be facing off at 4:30 p.m. Monday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Orchard Park, a game postponed by a day after a dangerous winter storm roared across Western New York.
In preparation for the game Erie County Sheriff's Department shares traffic patterns for pregame and postgame driving.
Erie County Sheriff, John C. Garcia, says that fans should drive safely and patiently during gameday traffic, regardless if you are arriving or leaving.
"All fans are reminded to familiarize themselves with the list of prohibited items at Highmark Stadium, in order to avoid delays at the gates," Garcia said.
