Buffalo Bills reveal stunning images of their new $1.4BILLION stadium scheduled to open in Orchard Park in fall 2026, with work ‘to begin on the project next month’
The Bills have revealed stunning new renderings of their upcoming stadium, which is scheduled to open for the AFC powerhouse in 2026.
The team has played at Highmark Stadium, formerly known as Ralph Wilson Stadium, since 1973, and work on the new Buffalo home will begin in April, according to Spectrum News 1.
The new stadium will be a stone’s throw from its current home in Orchard Park, just across Abbott Road, and renderings show a state-of-the-art facility with a sleek exterior design.
The images show how the stadium will reach an enormous height and will have mechanisms to avoid the wind on the field.
“The wind is coming in and it’s one direction and it knows exactly what it wants to do — come into the ballpark and spin,” Bills vice president and COO Ron Raccuia said. buffalo news.
New renderings of the stadium show an innovative new home for one of the best teams in the league.
‘What we want to do is get it in and through the perforated metal pieces (which line the outside of the stadium). The wind gets confused and the perforations are random so it starts to block the wind and cuts and confuses it and then when the wind gets to the canopy the canopy tilts in such a way that it actually rides over the canopy and not ‘do not fall into the stadium so that there are no eddies of wind entering the stadium’.
The project will cost $1.4 billion according to Front Office Sports, and the state of New York will put $600 million toward the project.
The rest of the funding will come from the team, which will provide $550 million, while Erie County will contribute $250 million.
Buffalo is one of the best teams in the NFL and went 13-3 last season before falling in the wild card round of the playoffs.
