Orchard Park, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills need your help.

With more than four feet of snow falling in Orchard Park on Tuesday, Ralph Wilson Stadium is buried. As coach Doug Marrone and his staff are snowed in at One Bills Drive, the grounds crew has to remove 220,000 tons of snow from the stadium and its surrounding areas. That's enough to fill the ADPRO Sports Complex, where the Bills practice, eight times. But they could have even more snow to remove if they want to play their Week 12 game against the New York Jets as scheduled at Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m.

That's why the Bills are looking for people to help with the shoveling efforts. Once the driving ban is lifted in Orchard Park, Bills vice president of operations Andy Major said the Bills will be paying $10 per hour and offering game tickets for anyone interested in helping with the shoveling efforts. Anyone looking to help is asked to call 716-636-4840.

"We're looking to have 500 shovelers on site working those triple shifts," Major said.

"We don't have a minimum number. We can't have too many people helping."

Major and Bills senior vice president of communications Scott Berchtold said on a conference call that the Bills are preparing to play the game as scheduled.

"We have not had this much snow, as far as we know, in the history of our team," Major said.

"We going to be evaluating this every hour on the hour and seeing how we're progressing so we can keep in touch with the league and the county and state on where we are and where we think we'll be."

Major said it usually takes three days to remove one foot of snow. Orchard Park has already gotten four feet of snow and another one-to-two feet are in the forecast for Thursday night. The Bills already have snow removal equipment on site but more equipment is coming from Rochester and Syracuse. The Bills say this is four times the amount of snow they've ever had in the stadium in a week leading up to a home game.

Major added that the Bills will lose some parking spots around the stadium because of the amount of snow. While Major and Berchtold wouldn't put a number on how much this storm has cost the Bills but said they aren't even thinking about that.

"The first thing is making sure people in the area are safe," Major said.
