When the Buffalo Bills had to move their entire operation to Detroit’s Ford Field on short notice for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns due to massive snow accumulation in and around their home stadium, it took everybody on the team to get that done. More than six feet of snow hit the suburb of Orchard Park, so everyone had to get going in a hurry, and this left some of the most important Bills in need of assistance just to get out of their houses and onto the plane from Buffalo to Detroit in the first place.
“We had two plans,” Bills Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, Ron Raccuia said, per the team’s official site. “They were supposed to work in conjunction with each other. We had a series of plow drivers lined up to go to players’ houses and plow them out and then the players could drive to the facility, but early Saturday morning we realized that wasn’t going to work. There was too much snow for plow trucks to move and there was a driving ban in Orchard Park. So at that point we shifted to a full-scale pickup operation.”
