Highmark Stadium, home to the NFL\u2019s Buffalo Bills, is located in Orchard Park, New York, a suburb about 10 miles south of downtown Buffalo<\/a>. It holds the distinction of being the only permanent residence of an NFL team in New York, as the New York Giants and New York Jets share MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Located at 10 Bills Drive, Highmark Stadium is the newest stadium in the NFL. The entire plot of land that the stadium sits on is almost 250 acres and the footprint of the new building is 1.35 million square feet.<\/p>\n

Highmark Stadium History<\/h2>\n

Highmark Stadium replaced the old Bills stadium, which was also called Highmark Stadium. The previous Highmark Stadium opened as Rich Stadium in 1973, only three years after the American Football League\u2019s Buffalo Bills were admitted into the NFL. The locally headquartered Rich Products retained the facility\u2019s naming rights until 1997, when it was changed to Ralph Wilson Stadium honoring the Bills\u2019 founder and then-presiding owner. Following further rebrands to New Era Field from 2016 to 2019 and Bills Stadium in 2020, the Erie County complex became known as Highmark in 2021 after reaching a naming rights agreement with Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Western New York.<\/p>\n

The 71,608-capacity stadium underwent its first expansions in 1984 and 1992, followed by a major renovation in 1994 that saw the installation of more executive and club seating as well as the largest video scoreboard in the U.S. at the time. Additional multi-million dollar renovations came after in 1998, 2007 and 2013.<\/p>\n

The new, 62,000-seat, $1.35 billion Highmark Stadium replaced the existing Highmark Stadium for the 2026 NFL season. While the new stadium does not have a roof, it is expected to have a canopy that covers about 65% of the seats.<\/p>\n
