Bills’ New Highmark Stadium Hit Major Construction Milestone

As we inch ever closer to the 2026/27 NFL Season, the Buffalo Bills are hard at work on two fronts to make sure everything is set for the new year.

Not only is the Bills' front office working hard to help build a solid team that has the players and staff to make a push for Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027, but construction crews are hard at work to get the New Highmark Stadium ready for football in just a few short months.

Highmark Stadium's Exterior Panels Are Complete

Hundreds of people have been working hard for months to get Buffalo's $2 billion stadium ready for football this summer. According to Pete Guelli of the Buffalo Bills, the stadium will be ready to host the annual Blue vs. Red Scrimmage this August.

The construction just hit one milestone that helps us know that the New Highmark Stadium is getting close to being complete; all of the stadium's exterior panels have been installed.

The more than 4,400 perforated metal panels that have been installed will help diffuse and reflect the wind that blows into Orchard Park from Lake Erie and will give the stadium a sleek look.

To highlight the progress, the hometown team recently released a behind-the-scenes video showing just how far things have come over the last couple of years.

The 2026/27 season starts in just a few months, and the energy in Buffalo is really starting to ramp up.

Let's go, Buffalo.
