The Buffalo Bills franchise will enter Wild Card Weekend with two opponents. While the team faces off against the New England Patriots this Saturday, the business side of the organization will prepare for a legal battle with a pizza chain/kids' entertainment zone.
According to Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic, the company that owns the Bills and the NHL's Buffalo Sabres, Pegula Sports & Entertainment (PSE), is suing the parent company of Chuck E. Cheese, CEC Entertainment. The company is looking to get CEC Entertainment to halt payments to Arena, Parks & Stadium Solutions (APS), which, according to PSE, owes the company a lot of money in sponsorship fees.
Kaplan reported that a court hearing is set for next week. He added the Bills have warned the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins, who also do business with APS, about the company. Vincent Caccamo, the company's founder, spoke out against the Bills' tactics.

Although this squabble will not feature Josh Allen trying to avoid being tackled by a large mouse, it is still amusing. While Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott gives his players breaks from the cold in order to prepare them for Saturday, the team's ownership company will be drafting up documents to fight a company whose most famous business endeavor is a happy-go-lucky mouse.
If Bills fans did not have this weekend's matchup with the Patriots at Highmark Stadium to keep them busy, the tables at Chuck E. Cheese's Buffalo location may have been in for a tough weekend.
