Orchard Park, N.Y. (WBEN/WGR 550) - Ahead of Monday's now rescheduled playoff matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Orchard Park, the Buffalo Bills are seeking assistance from anyone willing to help shovel out Highmark Stadium.
The Bills are asking anyone age 18 and over (or under 18 with proper working papers) interested in shoveling out the snow to arrive at Highmark Stadium when the current travel in place for Orchard Park is lifted.
"The rate of pay is $20 per-hour. Complimentary food and breaks will be provided throughout the shifts in a comfortable warm area. Those interested in shoveling must have proper photo identification (driver's license, state ID) to work," the Bills said on their website.
Those who are interested in shoveling out the stadium are asked to dress appropriately for the winter weather conditions expected. The Bills are also asking volunteers to bring their own shovels, if possible, but shovels will be provided if you do not have one.
Shovelers are instructed to enter and park in Lot 6 off Abbott Road just North of the Bills Store and proceed to the Jani-King office trailer at the bottom of the steps to register for work.
