Permitted/Prohibited Items

Until further notice, anyone attending a Bills game at Ralph Wilson Stadium will be subject to a voluntary security inspection, administered by a screener prior to gate entry. Guests who appear to be intoxicated and/or unmanageable will not be permitted in the stadium. To limit the potential wait time you could experience with gate entry, we have a few suggestions:

  • Arrive at the stadium gates as early as possible (gates open 1 ½ hours prior to kickoff).
  • Limit the number of items you bring with you to minimize search time.
  • Please follow all signage and direction from security personnel.
  • If you give tickets to someone who may not be familiar with stadium security policies, please alert your guests to these measures.
