The Miami Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills on their home field Sunday night. That doesn’t mean they’ll have the advantage in the stands.
The majority of spectators will be Bills fans at Hard Rock Stadium for the showdown to determine the AFC East champion, according to Vivid Seats. Its Fan Forecast predicts a 52% to 48% edge for Bills fans. Hard Rock Stadium has a capacity of 64,767 so that’s about 33,679 Bills fans.
Ticket prices have hovered around $300 for the cheapest seats on secondary market sites.
Bills Mafia is known for traveling well, following the team across the country, in Toronto, in London, and greeting the team plane at airports. Announcers on television broadcasts for multiple road games this year, including at the Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders, commented that the crowd was louder for the Bills.
If the Bills defeat the Dolphins, western New Yorkers will be able to stay put for a couple of weeks. A victory gives Buffalo the No. 2 seed in the AFC and potentially two home games in the playoffs.
