The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in Orchard Park, New York. They compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. The Bills began play in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL). Following the AFLNFL merger, the Bills joined the NFL as a member of the AFC East in 1970. The team plays its home games at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, a suburb of Buffalo. Construction on a new stadium is scheduled to begin in 2023, with the stadium set to open in 2026. The new stadium will be located in Orchard Park, next to Highmark Stadium. It will have a capacity of 62,000 and will feature a number of amenities, including a retractable roof, a video board that is four times the size of the one at Highmark Stadium, and a variety of food and beverage options. The new stadium is expected to cost $1.4 billion and will be funded by a combination of public and private money.
The new stadium is expected to have a number of benefits for the Bills and the Buffalo community. It will provide the Bills with a state-of-the-art facility that will help them compete for championships. It will also boost the local economy and create jobs. The stadium is expected to generate $250 million in annual economic activity and create 10,000 jobs.
