Detroit’s Ford Field wasn’t expecting to host a football game this weekend. But after a snowstorm dumped several feet of snow in Orchard Park and plans quickly changed.
On Friday, Ford Field was set up for a carnival to raise money for next year‘s Thanksgiving parade. Things changed and they had to break it down in 48 hours to create a football field for the game.

“The biggest thing was, I knew we can get it done, we’ve done this before. And to be honest, we look forward to the challenge,” said Todd Argust, Senior VP of Facilities at Ford Field.
“Usually, we’ll get the word from the NFL that they’re considering us, so and we can start in our mind thinking through what we need to get done and making checklist. And once the word comes out we start reaching out to the people to order food, book staff, reach out to get people to work all the positions that need to support an NFL game. Obviously, with what we have on the field, make preparations to convert so were prepared for the game on Sunday.”
As of this writing, the Bills have a 16-10 lead in the second half.
