Security Inspection
For the safety of everyone in attendance, all guests entering Highmark Stadium will be subject to a metal detection screening process. Guest do not need to remove cell phones, keys or wallets from their pockets and should walk through the metal detectors at a normal pace. All bags are subject to search.
Please leave all unnecessary and prohibited items in at home or in vehicles. Game Day Team Members may not secure or hold items, and the Buffalo Bills are not responsible for any items that are left, lost, or stolen at the gates.
By tendering the game ticket and entering the stadium, guests consent to such inspections and waive all related claims that they might have against the NFL, its Member Clubs, its affiliates, or its agents. If guests elect not to consent to these searches, they will be denied entry into the stadium. Elevated security concerns could prompt more thorough search procedures.

Re-entry to Highmark Stadium is prohibited. Guests who leave the stadium may not re-enter using the same event ticket. In the event of an emergency, please have guest(s) visit a Guest Experience Booth or see a Guest Experience Entry Supervisor.
