ORCHARD PARK, N.Y., July 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Buffalo Bills along with BlueRock Energy, the Official Electricity Supplier of the Buffalo Bills, today announced they will be giving away NFL stadium approved bags to fans at the home opener against the New England Patriots. When fans arrive at Ralph Wilson Stadium each will receive a complimentary "BlueRock Energy Touchdown Tote," which is approved for use at Bills games all season. 

The NFL and Buffalo Bills are implementing a new bag policy to enhance public safety and ease the efficiency of stadium access this season.  Bags permitted into Ralph Wilson Stadium must be clear 12" x 6" x 12", one-gallon clear bags, or a small clutch bag that fits in the palm of a hand.  The "Touchdown Tote" conforms to the new bag policy, will be easy to carry and features the Buffalo Bills and BlueRock Energy logos.  Bills fans will be able to utilize the bags throughout the season for carrying personal items to games, and the bags will also come in handy for everyday use.

"We know how important it is for Bills fans to get into the stadium quickly, safely and with their favorite approved items," said Phil Van Horne, CEO of BlueRock Energy. "This is a great opportunity to partner with the Bills on this fun, useful, and unique giveaway for fans."

In addition to partnering with the Bills for the "Touchdown Tote" bag giveaway, BlueRock Energy will serve as the Game Week Sponsor for the home opener at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

"The BlueRock Energy Touchdown Tote will help educate our valued fans and Team Members working at Bills games as to the type and size of bags that are permitted," said Andy Major, Bills Vice President of Event Operations and Guest Experience.  "Fan safety is extremely important to our team, and we appreciate BlueRock Energy's assistance to improve the game day experience and add to the excitement of our sold-out home opener against the Patriots."
