Virgil Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) My family is coming up to the Texans game and I want to make sure we are prepared for stadium entry. I know that you can bring your vaccination card, but did anyone use the Clear App? Also, did they check your ID to see if it matched the vaccination information? Any insight would be helpful. Also, does anyone know if the field house is open for all the kid activities? Edited September 27, 2021 by Virgil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Nightstand Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 They were not checking IDs with the vaccine card for myself and my brother. My brother is 15 and doesn't have a license, so we brought his passport worried he'd have trouble with just the paper vaccine card, but no issues and they didn't even ask to see the passport. I used the Excelsior app and they gave it a quick glance over and that was that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 they were not checking ID’s, just a quick glance at your card or app and you were good to go. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplez47888 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I used the NYS excelsior app and my ID and it took about 5 seconds. I’m not familiar with the clear app but I would imagine it would be sufficient if it is similar to excelsior. I also entered the stadium at 11 and there wasn’t a noticeable increase in the amount of time it took to get in compared to when I went for the season opener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 It was easy.....think of a 2 window service at McDonald's lol (one looks at the paper or phone and the other your ticket). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishDave Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Easy-peasy. Just walked through the gate holding vaccination card facing toward screeners. They just glanced at it. I kept walking. No delay at all. Took all of 5 minutes to get into the stadium at around 12:35. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I too showed my physical card but was not asked to provide an ID verifying it was mine and I am me. So it could have been anyone's. And it could have been fake. Was I 100% confident that everyone in attendance was in fact vaccinated? Based on my own entrance experience, no I was not. Did I still wear a mask in the concourses and bathrooms? Yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 They should be spot checking inside the gate and enforce rules (including bans) to get rule respected. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 If someone from the county DOH sees this, and it gets bumped up the food chain, you can bet that the verification process will get more strict as the season progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSB Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 It was the first time. I wouldn’t be surprised if they enhance the screening process based on what they learned. I would still bring ID and give yourself extra time just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Showed them the app, walked through. Maybe 4 extra minutes of line compared to normal. Actual entry time was about 20 seconds longer than normal. They check the vaccine stuff, then waive you through to the metal detector and tickets. Stadium seemed full even though it was a garbage opponent. This week is garbage squared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 If a person was not vaccinated they would have to come in contact with 5,000 people to infect 1 person with a break through case that is the average. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 all i gotta say about this: if you are nervous about covid, no amount of rigor on the checks for 70K people in close contact will be enough, so if you are scared don't go. makes me think of a guy in my gym, does the BJJ classes. wears a pretty strong looking n95 type mask (i think, never asked him). the way i see it, if you are nervous enough to be the only person in the whole gym wearing a mask, you shouldn't be doing BJJ. a friend of mine's whole family got covid, as near as we can tell they got it going to the giants home opener. vax didn't stop it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A common fear among people is that STIs can be passed in public places, such as through contact with toilet seats. While it is theoretically possible that some STIs could be passed from person-to-person via a public toilet seat, it is extremely unlikely that you will become infected in this manner.

Also, does anyone know if the field house is open for all the kid activities? I was told by my ticket rep that the original card, the Clear app or "any government-issued" vaccine record, will be accepted. I bring the last one up because your original vax card is next to impossible to replace if lost. I just set up my Clear app so I don't need to bring my card. (Though I do carry an actual-size Xerox copy with me just in case.) My buddy lost his card at a Blue Jays game at Sahlen Field. He couldn't replace the card but does have a State of Massachusetts-issued vaccine record. That supposedly will be accepted. I hope all the card-checkers get the same memo from the Bills so there's no confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruined can just mean subject to frustration There's absolutely a lot of frustrated people People try to turn this into a vax versus unvaxed argument.. it's not my argument There are a lot of bills fans,who no longer get to see their passion... It is the biggest thing in Buffalo by far Families grow up around it.. I do feel for those people Getting your money back for season tickets is not the same as seeing your favorite thing..
