Bills address tailgating policies for new Highmark Stadium
Summary

Buffalo Bills president of business operations Pete Guelli confirmed that tailgating traditions at the new Highmark Stadium will largely remain intact. While new tailgating policies were issued, focused primarily on prohibiting commercial activities and soliciting, Guelli emphasized that tailgating remains encouraged. The policies state fans can only prepare food for 'friends and family' and must conclude tailgating by kickoff. Enhanced amenities are designed to entice fans to arrive earlier. The Bills will host multiple public events in August, including open practices and preseason games, to familiarize fans with the new facility.
