Mayor Byron W. Brown announced today that in partnership with the Buffalo Landmark Illumination Team (BuffaloLIT), the city of Buffalo will continue to light Blue for the Bills this weekend in support of the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs at Highmark Stadium on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. From Wednesday, January 18th through Sunday, January 22nd, Buffalo City Hall and BuffaloLIT partners will be lit Blue from dusk to dawn.

Mayor Brown stated, “We shined Blue for the Bills last weekend, and in partnership with the Buffalo Landmark Illumination Team, we will continue to light the city of Buffalo Blue for the Bills this weekend in a show of support for the AFC East Champs as they move on in the playoffs. We are proud of our Buffalo Bills and hope this special lighting serves as another great signal to the city, and to the world, that the Bills are serious Super Bowl contenders!”

Mayor Brown also issued a reminder to Bills fans to stop by the signature selfie station at Buffalo City Hall, where giant, newly installed banners pay tribute to Bills Safety Damar Hamlin and the AFC East Champions. The banners are 9 foot wide by 17 foot long.
