Will there really be more Bills fans than Dolphins fans in Miami on Sunday Night Football?

Will there really be more Bills fans than Dolphins fans in Miami on Sunday Night Football?

The Miami Dolphins welcome the Buffalo Bills to their home field on Sunday night. That doesn’t mean they’ll have the advantage in the stands.

The majority of spectators will be Bills fans at Hard Rock Stadium for the showdown to determine the AFC East champion, according to Vivid Seats. His Fan Forecast predicts a 52-48% advantage for Bills fans. Hard Rock Stadium has a capacity of 64,767, or approximately 33,679 Bills fans.

Ticket prices hover around $300 for the cheapest seats on secondary market sites.

Bills Mafia is known for traveling well, following the team across the country, to Toronto, to London, and greeting the team plane at airports. TV announcers for several road games this year, including against the Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders, said the crowd was louder for the Bills.

If the Bills beat the Dolphins, Western New Yorkers will be able to stay put for a few weeks. A win gives Buffalo the second seed in the AFC and potentially two home games in the playoffs.

There are more than 600 Bills Backers chapters worldwide. The Bills Backers Miami group has several events planned this week, including live music and a DJ, a welcome to Fort Lauderdale party, a ticketed event for 800 people with an open bar, food and giveaways, and a tailgate at Hard Rock Stadium. Now known as New Era Field South.
