Chiefs fans invade WNY ahead of Sunday’s showdown

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) – Expect to see a lot of red and yellow mixing with Bill’s red, white and blue in Western New York this weekend.

Kansas City Chiefs fans have arrived in the city ahead of Sunday afternoon’s nationally televised game against the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium.

A Southwest Airlines flight full of Chiefs fans arrived from Kansas City early this afternoon — to the tune of the Shout song, courtesy of the NFTA. Southwest added the nonstop flight for the Week 11 showdown after the NFL announced the 2024 schedule.

Hotels in downtown Buffalo are sold out or nearly full, said Patrick Kahler, president and CEO of Visit Buffalo Niagara. Short-term rentals in the city are also almost full for the weekend.
