Watch: Fans dig their way to seats at Steelers-Bills wild-card game

The fields crews in Buffalo have been working throughout the night and morning to clear Highmark Stadium of snow ahead of the Steelers-Bills wild-card matchup, which kicks off at 4:30 p.m. ET.

However, even after getting shoveling help from some fans, who got paid $20 per hour, there were still not enough hands to clear all the snow from the seats. That has fans, who are arriving at the stadium now, having to dig their way to their seats.

The field itself looks to be in as good of shape as it is going to be after the crews had the turf cleared by midmorning. The fans look like they're going to have to do the rest of the work if they hope to be able to sit at all during the game.

However, after a long-awaited 24 hours from the game being postponed, fans may not be worried about sitting down.

It is still very cold with a projected 20-degree kickoff, but the worst of the weather seems to be over after the Buffalo area reportedly received up to three feet of snow. 

If the Bills win, they will host the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs. However, if the Steelers pull off the upset, they will head to Baltimore to take on the No. 1 seed Ravens.
