Bills' New Highmark Field Faces Early Grass Woes

Some spots chunked up, but there were no traction problems reported yet. The team acknowledged feedback on both the field and obstructed seating and said it will use the next six weeks to refine operations ahead of the Sept. 17 home opener against the Detroit Lions.
