BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – It looks like Ken Johnson, the Buffalo Bills tailgating institution, isn’t moving after all.
He does, however, plan to stop his tradition of providing passers-by with shots of Polish cherry liqueur out of the thumbhole of a bowling ball.
Johnson said by phone Saturday he’s been convinced not to move from the team’s main parking lot, where he’s been a fixture for 21 years. The change of heart came after Johnson was contacted by a Bills official asking him to stay.
Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold confirmed an official spoke with Johnson, and characterized it as “a good and positive discussion.”
Johnson made headlines this week after an NFL official threatened to close his tailgate party in part because of the bowling ball shots.
