Snow covered the seats across Highmark Stadium for Monday’s playoff game between the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers, prompting an unprecedented announcement ahead of kickoff.
With the seats quite literally buried beneath around three feet of snow, the Bills and the NFL announced that there would be no assigned seating during the wild-card game.
It marks the first time in NFL playoff history that the league has done away with assigned seats, enabling fans to simply find an area of their choosing and claim it as their own.
