Over the past few months (and frankly, years), we have seen a lot of questions about renovating Highmark Stadium (or Bills Stadium or New Era Field or Ralph Wilson Stadium or Rich Stadium). Fans of the Buffalo Bills love it there, but it turns 50 at the end of the current lease, necessitating a new stadium.
Despite huge renovation projects at Lambeau Field, Soldier Field, and Arrowhead Stadium, a similar renovation would not work in Orchard Park writes Tim Graham of The Athletic.
“Those three have undergone several hundred million dollars in renovations to keep them contemporary, but the structural integrity of Highmark Stadium doesn’t allow a similar possibility,” writes Graham.
