There is no logical or medical reason behind this decision. Poloncarz is acting like a petty tyrant.Tyler Carter (Buffalo, 2021-09-16)

I am signing because these rules are much too restricted and inflexible. There are several other ways to ensure safety in the stadium.Edward Frisa (Alexandria, KY, 2021-09-16)

I am unable to get the vaccine because of a horrible reaction to another vaccine I had earlier this year. Getting the Covid vaccine could cause serious health issues for me, so it is unfortunately not an option. I was looking forward to attending games this year when I visited my family, especially since NY shut out fans last year. This stadium policy prohibits that. As a fan for over 30 years, I am deeply saddened and offended that I and others like me are being discriminated against and punished under the guise of public health. If the goal is to stop the spread, a better policy would be to require a negative rapid test dated the day before the game for all those who attend, regardless of vaccination status. Vaccinated individuals cannot only get Covid, but spread Covid asymptomatically. Giving all who attend these games the illusion that they are safe from getting and spreading Covid, when in reality they are not. A negative rapid test dated the day before the game for all who attend would insure those who attend the game are negative for Covid, regardless of vaccination status. If the goal is to encourage more people to get vaccinated, this is not the way to do it. Allowing only untested vaccinated fans, who may or may not be positive for the disease, unfairly punishes loyal fans who, like me, are medically unable to get the vaccine, as well as punishing those who have already recovered from Covid and have T-cell immunity, and therefore do not medically need a vaccine to be protected from Covid. I encourage Mark Poloncarz, Erie County and the Bills organization to reverse this horrible policy and find a more inclusive way of allowing attendance of unvaccinated fans to the games. There are other ways to stay safe and encourage vaccination without denying loyal fans the ability to see their team play. This stadium policy is cruel slap in the face for all of us who have waited years with unwavering support to see The Buffalo Bills return to greatness.diana babel (Douglasville, 2021-09-16)

Segregation should never be acceptable, especially when it is based off fear! Stats, facts and scientific evidence prove this mandate is not necessary.Albert Butzer (Lancaster, 2021-09-16)

To vaccinate or not should be an individual choice, not a government mandate.Jan Reimers (Jupiter, FL, 2021-09-16)

Vaccinated people can still catch & spread Covid. Covid testing before entry would be a more effective/ better way to slow the spread of the virus.Dave Kridel (St. Petersburg, 2021-09-16)

This is too far.Sam Smolarek (Buffalo, 2021-09-16)

This is government overreach! Forcing someone to take a vaccine is unconstitutional and FYI I’m vaccinated!Daniel Cook (Elmira, 2021-09-16)

Seeing it’s a proven fact vaccinated can spread the virus, denying access to those who have antibodies or unvaccinated fans who test negative makes 0 scientific sense.Jon Riffel (East Aurora, 2021-09-16)

this is racist as all hell. its segregation, its illegal, its a power grab by someone who was elected to reprsent all people of erie county, not just the sheep vaccinated.andrew thiel (boston, 2021-09-16)

I'm signing this because there always a risk of going out no matter vacanation status. Will we be doing this for the Flu also? Temp checks? We will be creating a reason for people to fake vacanation staus and make it a longer process to get into the stadium. I understand the safety of citizens is important but just like every other time we walk out of our house we are susceptible to a pletera of situations that could harm us.Juston Tredo (Knoxville, 2021-09-16)

I am vaccinated my wife is in health care. This vaccine should be choice made by a player a person a family not our government! Let alone to show proof we live in AMERICA for freedom in which they are taken away to have the choice to watch a game or get a vacccine and segregate vaccinated vs non vaccinated what is any different than what hitler did? As we fought as a country to stop now we are imply similar expectations!Randy Kowalewski (Rushford, 2021-09-16)

No matter how this is stated, it is segregation and prejudice at it's finest. I support Vaccines, but will not tell someone else what is best for them.PATRICIA GILLESPIE (Rochester, 2021-09-16)

It is disgusting what Poloncarz and the Pegulas are doing! I should be able to attend the games!Jill Platt (Arcade, 2021-09-16)
#488
This entire control of everyone and everything has gone too farHave had Covid and been vaccinated so why should I fear everyone
Will be leaving my healthcare position because the lack of staffing has made a backbreaking job intolerable and it's getting worse . Vaccination threats have caused a bad shortage to become worse.
Tax payers and fans paid and are still paying for that stadium but you all seem to forget that

My son has season tickets and has medical issues that prevents him from getting the COVID shotsRichard Muto (Lewiston, ny, 2021-09-16)
#495
I believe in freedom and I stand against discrimination. A young child growing body should be a parents choice whether or not to get vaccinated, especially when their survival rate is greater than the people that were shot in Chicago last year! Others have had Covid & I have the antibodies, which there is no need for the vaccine then. Every body is different. Health is not a one fits all situation. Privacy is being stripped away. I know a friend who is Lupa and her doctor recommended against the vaccine because her body cannot handle it, she now hast to tell everybody her personal business, wtf! This is a political stance, which is bullshit. I am vaccinated, and I do not agree with this one bit!Rachel Slowey (Tampa, 2021-09-16)
#504
Because it is against American's freedom to make them against their will take this vaccine if they do not feel comfortable taking it for "whatever personal reason" or else lose rights like going to games and/or their job in some instances. Not only is this against our rights. It is against the constitution of the UNITED STATES...David Mineo (Port Charlotte, 2021-09-16)

This is not democratic and the last that I knew we still have our rights.Diane Magill (LOCKPORT, 2021-09-16)
#508
What utter nonsense. Any rule that doesn’t recognize those with natural immunity is just political theatre. It’s ok for Sean Ryan to walk around unmasked snd Poloncarz in his suite, but rules for thee and not me! You were elected, not by me, to serve not rule!Gigi Grizanti (Tonawanda, 2021-09-16)

I’m a lifelong Bills fan who was born and raised in Buffalo as was my wife. We met as season ticket holders back in the 80s and have raised our three sons as Bills fans. We have tickets, as we do every year for a few Bills games including our be in Buffalo. There are several reasons that some of my family will not get the vaccine that are their business and their choice. I’m so discouraged at this purely political decision as a veteran and son of a WWII veteran who both fought for our freedom to have these personal choices.Kris Busch (North Charleston, 2021-09-16)

I am signing because I believe the government is over stepping their bounds by using our love for the Bills as leverage to get the vaccine!Stacey Holly (Portville, 2021-09-16)

I am a 13 year season ticket holder and I am about to defund the bills. No stadium for you!!!!!!Scott Pierce (portville, 2021-09-16)

Its not fare to the season ticket holders to loose there seniority because they skip this season because the don't get a shot. There are many ways to keep the CHINA virus at bay. This is America land of the free not a communistic state.Greg Dudziak (Lockport, 2021-09-16)

It’s ludicrous to deny those who haven’t been vaccinated, entry into the stadium! Their is no longer a mask mandates or even a social distancing mandate! So why require only vaccinated fans to attend!James Premo (Palmyra, 2021-09-16)
#531
It’s total bullshit, all about control & power! I am vaccinated but feel very strongly that it is a personal decision!Sandra Ruhland (North Tonawanda, 2021-09-16)

They are targeting and discriminating against the unvaccinated adults and those that chose not to get their eligible kids vaccinated, which should be illegal. But yet under 12 unvaccinated get to go in which should be a red flag!Ken Oliver (Oakfield, 2021-09-16)
#540
I worked in person through this whole pandemic (minus 5 weeks) because it's what my community needed. I'm a single mom with two kids and two jobs and this team was one of my few bright spots during a horrible year. I LOVE coming to games and looking forward to them and seeing the fans back where they belong...but now, without any feedback from the people who keep those doors open, with community positivity under 3% and 70% of NYS vaccinated (unlike some of the country), you go ahead and lock a big portion of your fan base out? Why? We are safe. Covid is here to stay and at these levels an outdoor game is safe! Enough is enough! I will not be bullied into putting something I'm uncomfortable with in my body, period!Samantha Wilson (Lake View, 2021-09-16)

I’m signing because this violates everyone’s rights. This is an open air stadium which makes this mandate ridiculous! Not to mention vaccinated people are spreading it too so it makes NO sense!Leslie Skwara (Orchard Park, 2021-09-16)

This is completely unfair and unconstitutional. A judge in New York State has already issued a ban against medical employers mandating vaccines for its employees why can't we get a judge to put a ban on this as this is 100% discrimination.Christopher Ferraro (Port Allegany, 2021-09-16)

Purely political attempts to destroy people’s lives and exclude them from society, who have a different view point than you is Un-American and dangerous.Kevin Malone (Montgomery, 2021-09-16)

There should be at minimum a “negative test” option for fans as there is to attend concerts. The majority of this venue is outdoors as in outdoor concerts that only require a negative test.Tami Lewis (Buffalo, 2021-09-16)

I'm signing because we deserve the right to choose whether we get vaccinated or not. The government has no right over my body.Anthony Paoletta (Niagara Falls, 2021-09-16)
#564
I'm signing because I don't believe in the power of government anymore. Political gain, political corruption, cheating, lying about the numbers to meet your end. All these make the intelligent people, the Patriots, question EVERYTHING YOU DO.Maybe when everyone finally wakes up a you lose money things will go back to normal.
Maybe when NYS loses more people to the other great states.
Maybe....

I firmly Billieve that a mandatory vaccination is an infringement upon human rights. What about the people that have built natural antibodies to the COVID-19 virus? Why would they need to be vaccinated? Let us enjoy our BILLS. It gives a break from the everyday world and the hypocrisy it has become.Steve Eidson (Guymon, 2021-09-16)

I'm signing because FREEDOM OF CHOICE! Last I looked we were a free Country, is this China? Why are we being FORCED to comply? Why should we trust a Vaccine that has NO History of testing? Any other Vaccine has at least 12 years of testing.SHAWN WITUCKI (ALDEN, 2021-09-16)

It's an outdoor event & shouldn't require vaccine or masks.People who have had Covid have antibodies too.
Just hate all the politics involved and the power hungry people that run our county and state.
