Bills Unveil Highmark Stadium as New Era Begins in Orchard Park
The Buffalo Bills celebrated the official opening of Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the culmination of a years-long, roughly $2.1 billion construction project largely funded by taxpayers. The new open-air venue seats about 60,000, features a large canopy roof, two video boards and heated concourses, and involved about 10,000 union workers over three years. The project follows the Pegulas’ 2014 purchase of the team and a 2022–2025 build timeline, with the 2025 season serving as a farewell to the old stadium and ongoing hopes for growth in the region despite fan affordability concerns.
