Western New York suffered one of the craziest snowstorms in recent memory. A massive sheet of snow curbed the city of Buffalo inside it and made the situation more spine-chilling. The Lake-effect snowstorm made the NFL change the location of the Buffalo Bills Week 11 home game. New updates showed the condition of a snow-clad Highmark Stadium. However, the NFL Universe took a field trip over the development.

The lake-effect snowstorm hit Buffalo and the neighboring areas. Safe to say, it was one of the gnarliest blizzards. The snowfall affected the Buffalo Bills’ home game against the Cleveland Browns, and the NFL had to move the game to Detroit. Moreover, after the storm settled down, new updates show the Bills’ home stadium in a shimmering white layer.
NFL Fans react to the snow-clad Buffalo Bills’ stadium
The Buffalo Bills posted motion visuals from Highmark Stadium during the snowstorm. The field, seats, and everything visible was inside a thick, white covering of snow. It could display the need for relocating the game to Detroit.

However, the NFL universe did not sit back and deliver its comments. The fans sounded rather critical of the situation.
A user claimed it rained a whole Kevin Hart of snow in a day.

This user wondered if the NFL can host International games but cannot plow off the snow.
@nfl can't pay to plow the field let alone the city ??? But they pay for home games in London, Germany and beyond ?? Lame….

I would have loved to see our team play in this but I know it's not their decision and it's for the safety of the fans attending. But still…what a cool game that would have been!
