After years sometimes made of rumors about a move, the inhabitants of Buffalo can now see it coming. The Bills are here for a long time. On Monday, a ceremony was held to launch work on their new stadium.
Roger Goodell was even there to give a few strokes of the… golden shovel.

It left for three years of work. The inauguration is scheduled for fall 2026.
As a reminder, a 30-year lease was negotiated with local authorities on this new stadium for the Bills.
As for the current enclosure, the name will be “Highmark Stadium”, which will keep the rights of naming.
A new stadium that will remain in the open. The snow will therefore be able to continue to brighten up the winter meetings. For the rest, Buffalo will enter the era of ultra-modern stadiums, a far cry from the current enclosure, which emerged from the ground in 1973.
