BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz announced Tuesday the county supports returning fans to Highmark Stadium and KeyBank Center in the fall.
Poloncarz said the way to allow that is to require all fans and staff to be fully vaccinated. If you're not vaccinated, you would not be allowed to enter.
The county executive said there is no need to do mass testing to buy a ticket and you can use the "Excelsior Pass" to show proof of vaccination and enter the venues.
You can apply now to receive your "Excelsior Pass."

There is a app you can download right on your cell phone. This app will show your shot records, and that you have been full vaccinated. pic.twitter.com/0yhrvbVFT2

Poloncarz says this will include everyone, including children. The county says it is giving people enough notice so they have time to get the vaccine.
