My wife and I still live in Lancaster and are no stranger to all the local watering holes (Go Legends). There is not a Concert or Sporting event tailgate we haven't liked.

Couple Using Fake Vaccine Cards Banned From Buffalo Bills Forever

Jail time? The couple is banned from going to Highmark Stadium and buying tickets for the new stadium when it is built in the next few years. I know that some people on social media were defending them saying it is just the vaccine card.
