Orchard Park, NY – Fans heading to Highmark Stadium this Sunday should plan ahead, as multiple road closures, traffic pattern changes, and parking restrictions will be in effect for the Buffalo Bills vs. Philadelphia Eagles game.
According to the Erie County Sheriff’s Office, the game kicks off Sunday at 4:25 p.m., with traffic impacts beginning several hours earlier around the stadium in Orchard Park, Erie County, just south of Buffalo.
Abbott Road, directly in front of Highmark Stadium, will close to northbound and southbound traffic at 11:25 a.m. This section of Abbott Road will remain closed until after the game concludes, officials said.
Additional traffic changes are expected near the end of the game. Route 20A (Big Tree Road) will convert to two-lane, one-way traffic beginning at approximately 5:55 p.m. Traffic from Fieldhouse Drive to Route 219 will head eastbound away from the stadium, while traffic from Abbott Road to Southwestern Boulevard will flow westbound away from the stadium.
All stadium parking lots open at 12:25 p.m., but drivers are reminded not to park on roadway shoulders due to pedestrian safety concerns. Parking lots west of Abbott Road remain closed because of construction, with additional parking available at ECC. The Bus & Limo lot is located along Southwestern Boulevard, and all stadium parking requires an advance-purchase pass, except Lot 2 (ADA) and Lot 6 (ADA).
Stadium gates open at 2:25 p.m. Officials also noted that intoxicated or unmanageable guests will not be allowed entry, and fans using rideshare services after the game should expect long delays.
Drivers are encouraged to review stadium maps, arrive early, and follow posted traffic directions.
