Here's a heads up for members of the Bills Mafia and all Western New Yorkers ahead of Thursday night's Buffalo Bills game at Highmark Stadium.

Traffic could get tricky at times during the Thursday evening commute.

The portion of Abbott Road in front of Highmark Stadium will close to all traffic at 3:15 p.m. Thursday and will remain closed until after the game.

All stadium-owned parking lots open at 4:15 p.m.

Officials with the Erie County Sheriff's Office are urging all motorists to be patient as typical rush hour traffic could be a lot heavier Thursday evening.

The Bills host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football at 8:15 p.m. in Orchard Park.
