The new stadium will be located across from the ageing Highmark Stadium, which was opened in 1973 and serves as the home venue for the Bills.

It will be developed as a modern, open-air stadium equipped with climate control features to protect spectators from cold conditions such as a canopy that covers 65% of seats, as well as radiant heating.

The stadium’s exterior will feature improved gathering sites for fans, spectators, and surrounding community members, which in turn will provide an improved fan experience.

Bills’ owner Terry Pegula said: “The stadium we will build will not only be a new home for our players and coaches, but also for our fans. This stadium is a public, private, NFL, and I call it, a fan partnership.”
