BUFFALO, N.Y. (PIX11) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is making sure the Bills Mafia can enjoy rooting on its team this weekend.
Ahead of Buffalo’s matchup against Jacksonville in London Sunday morning, the governor directed the state liquor authority to extend the deadline for special permits. That means bars and restaurants can begin serving alcohol as early as 8 a.m.
Current laws prohibit them from serving alcohol between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Sundays.
Kickoff for the Bills’ international game is set for 9:30 a.m. on Sunday.
