4. 200 people showed up at midnight to help shovel the stadium.

This morning, crews are clearing the snow at Highmark Stadium by truck. One fan tells me about 200 people showed up at midnight to help shovel. Time is running out on the cleanup efforts, as the 4:30 p.m. kickoff is just a few hours away. @news4buffalo pic.twitter.com/hVCYRFlH3J

11. I personally like this guy who used a shovel from the dollar store.

There are maybe five shovelers in the whole stadium now. It is not possible for seats to be vacated in time for kick-off. Unless they are lying on snow. And look at the shovel this guy has. From the toy section of the Dollar Store pic.twitter.com/kegXDfgdom

Just announced by the NFL and the Buffalo Bills: There are no assigned seats today at Highmark Stadium. Just find a place to stand and it’s yours. pic.twitter.com/11sSaOaE0m
