Bisons billboard unveiling postponed
Buster T. Bison, the mascot of the Buffalo Bisons, will now be hoisted up onto the team's new billboard on Thursday, March 8 at 2:15 p.m. Buster will help Lamar Advertising roll out a sign reminding fans that Opening Day is on Thursday, April 5.
The billboard is the first one motorists see as they get onto the outbound Kensington Expressway from the city (heading east). Interested media are encouraged to take Michigan St. to Cherry St. where there is street parking and a small parking lot.
Bisons Vice President/General Manager Mike Buczkowski will be onsite and available for comment.
Buster will begin preparing for the unveiling at 2:00 p.m. At 2:15 p.m., a lift will carry Buster up to the billboard where he will climb out and help unveil the sign.
