ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The signs that something big is coming have been there. Across Abbott Road from the Buffalo Bills' facility and Highmark Stadium, dirt is being moved, and construction vehicles are in full work mode.
With years put into coming to an agreement with New York State and Erie County on a deal, there was no time to waste on beginning construction on the new stadium grounds in time for the 2026 season.
On Monday morning, however, those came to a pause with gold shovels, a stage and all the proper tools for a celebration to hold the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Bills stadium.
