In true Bills Mafia fashion, they made themselves at home in the stadium's parking lots, tailgating in preparation for the practice. An image circulating on social media showcased the extent of this tailgating, with fans seen enjoying the pre-game festivities. This spirited display of fan enthusiasm at the new stadium venue was widely reported by Bills Wire throughout the 2026 NFL season.",
