The Buffalo Bills have submitted a plan to New York State in regard to allowing fans at their stadium for a game in a few weeks.
According to multiple reports, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday that there is a proposal on the table, submitted by the team, which would allow 6,700 to attend an upcoming game at Bills Stadium.
That contest would be the team’s first home playoff game since 1996. The Bills (11-3) recently clinched the AFC East title which comes with hosting at least one postseason game.
