The Buffalo Bills are known for having rowdy fans, but it appears that the team is trying to tone them down a little bit with the new tailgating system they are implementing.
According to Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News, the Bills announced a new policy that if people are arriving by bus or limo they will have to purchase a tailgating package, along with the parking pass. For a 20 person vehicle, the cost is $300, if the vehicle fits 40 people the pass will cost $600, and if the bus fits 60 people it will cost $900.
If the busses are just taking the fans to the game and don't plan to tailgate, they will just have to pay $100 for a parking pass. People will not be allowed in the tailgate lot if they don't purchase the tailgate package.

“It’s dangerous behavior, not just negative fan behavior. It’s dangerous to security, the sheriffs and staff who are trying to police things.”
Major points out that these viral videos aren't a good thing for the way people feel about the Bills and their fans and they are trying to cut down on it.
“The viral videos on social media, it’s embarrassing when we see that,” Major said. “It affects the community, affects the team negatively. We know our fans aren’t like that. That’s what’s disappointing for us.
If the Bills plan works, there won't be as many videos of random Bills fans jumping through tables this upcoming season.
