What happens to unvaccinated players? And, you are "fully vaccinated" with 1-shot J&J.

And, clearly no one will obey a mask mandate, so this is their answer.  Gonna be a lot of tickets for sale. They better hope the Bills are good, otherwise the Pegulas may be unhappy with this.

Exactly. I'm wondering if the wording is specific enough to allow them to play. Are they considered "guests"?

I do think the "guests" is how they will get around forcing players to get vaccinated.

As @RkFastpoints out, it is gonna take some time...

Wouldn't it be funny that even after this deep knee bend by the Pegulas, Erie County & NY State still won't help finance the new stadium?

I must congratulate the county and team for officially killing any interest I may have had to actually attend a game this season.

Does not apply to players.

How long does it take to stick a magnet to them?

Harbor Center is also indoors.  That makes sense.  

 

And...I imagine they're not offering a refund to season ticket holders who don't wish to get vaccinated?

The Sabres could take a real beating on this. They only have about a dozen season ticket holders now.

The Bills are offering refunds for some:

</snip>

Those who do not want to follow the policy can request a refund for season passes. All season ticket members will get an email outlining specific guidelines to request a refund for the remaining pro-rated amount of their tickets. There will be no refunds for single game purchasers; single game purchasers that are unable to meet the requirements can transfer, resell or donate tickets.

I saw somewhere that season ticket holders can receive refunds, but that they lose their preferential treatment from accrued time as season ticket holders.

That's if it's one person checking.  5 seconds per person is 12 people a minute.  12 people a minute is 720 checked an hour.  Open the gates at 11am again, that's 1440 people in two hours before kickoff checked by one person.  Now, 70,000 fans (if that many actually show up) divided by 1440 people checked per person, means you need 48.6 people checking constantly, no stopping, no issues.  There's seven gates so that 6.94 checkers per gate.  It's doable.

You forgot the best part, get a refund, lose your status and your seats.

I guess Sunday was my one and only Bills home game for the year then. I was looking at a few others, but no longer. 

 

I will get to see them in Jacksonville with no issues at least.

 

As for the Sabres, this should place them firmly in the bottom of the NHL attendance standings.
