Orchard Park Businesses Thrive During Bills Playoff Games

Brendan Biggane, co-owner of The Byrd House restaurant, expressed excitement about the upcoming playoff games, stating, “We get a good crowd for all the home and away games but having bonus playoff games like this is a great boon to all the bars and restaurants around the stadium.”
The anticipation for the playoff games is not just limited to the fans. The Bills making the playoffs every year, let alone hosting two playoff games in a row, is a rare occurrence. Biggane emphasized that whenever the Bills embark on a playoff run, the heightened energy and enthusiasm extend to local businesses.
In addition to the surge in customer traffic, some bars and restaurants have also seen an increase in visits from Bills front office and team members. Biggane mentioned, “They’re not only our team, but they’re our community members as well, and we love having them here. Josh [Allen]’s mom and dad have been here a bunch of times pre-gaming and it’s just it’s a One Buffalo thing, let’s put it that way.”
The Bills’ recent success and six-game unbeaten streak have also prompted fans to stock up on gear. Scott Sprigg, a Bills fan, remarked, “Definitely helped increase my number of sweatshirts. I wore four of them last week and they’ll be pulled out for tomorrow as well.”
Amidst the excitement, it’s clear that tradition still holds significance for some fans. Maria Casper mentioned, “Same shirt though, for every win. I have not washed this shirt so I mean, it could be helping.”
