HIGHMARK Stadium
Picturesque Orchard Park in upstate New York is where you will find Highmark Stadium, the home stadium of the Buffalo Bills. More than 40 years of football have been played at this great venue, including some of the biggest games in Bills history.
Originally known as Rich Stadium, and then Ralph Wilson Stadium (after the team’s former owner) before becoming New Era Field and then Bills Stadium, this tremendous suburban Buffalo open-air venue is currently known as Highmark Stadium. The brutal winter weather conditions dictated that it be necessary for a synthetic playing surface and so Buffalo has always played on an AstroTurf field.
In addition to Bills games, Highmark Stadium has hosted soccer, baseball, rugby, track and field, NCAA football, and even the first NHL Winter Classic game. Plenty of major concert tours have come through this stadium including Eric Clapton, The Grateful Dead, The Who, Dave Matthews Band, The Jackson Five, Van Halen, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, and many more.

The cold weather in upstate New York makes for an incredible backdrop for football. Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, home to the Buffalo Bills, has hosted many of these epic contests. Continuing to search for their first Super Bowl championship, the Bills faithful pour into this venue week after week, braving the elements to cheer on their hometown heroes.
The Bills originated in 1960 as an AFL team and won back-to-back championships in their early years. They made it to the AFL Championship again in 1966, the third year in a row, but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. Following the merger, Buffalo could not seem to replicate their AFL success. A major drop-off in their level of play saw the team make the playoffs only three times between 1967 and 1986, with one postseason win to their credit.
1986 marked a change for the Bills as Jim Kelly moved from the USFL to the NFL. Buffalo’s 1983 first round draft pick brought with him a tremendous amount of talent and strength. His leadership was exactly what Buffalo was missing. A tough competitor that never backed down, Kelly added to a talented roster that, under new head coach Marv Levy, was poised for a major turnaround. By 1988, the Bills had reached the AFC Championship game, losing to Cincinnati 21-10.
What followed in the next four seasons was as unprecedented as it was heartbreaking. The Buffalo Bills would top the AFC in 1990, 91, 92, and 93, reaching the Super Bowl four years in a row. However, this AFC dynasty would lose each title game. Despite their dominant play and recognizable stars such as Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Cornelius Bennett, Steve Tasker, and others, the Bills could never break through and make it to the stage where the confetti would fall on them as champions.
Buffalo has not reached the big game again since 1993. In fact, they dropped into obscurity after missing the playoffs from 2000 to 2016. Head Coach Sean McDermott took over the team in 2017 and the Bills made a complete turnaround. In fact, since 2017, the Bills have only missed the playoffs once and have advanced to the AFC Championship game twice. The chances of reaching the Super Bowl again are greater than ever and this team is determined to finally bring home the hardware.
Led by Josh Allen, the 7th overall draft pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Bills have a stud quarterback that has more than the talent necessary to win in tough situations. He is a consummate professional who expertly distributes the ball for explosive plays but also possesses the skill to pull it down and run when the lane is open. He also has the luxury of handing it off to James Cook who has gone over 1,000 yards rushing in two of his first three seasons in the league. Wide Receivers Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir along with tight end Dawson Knox give Allen the best chance to move the chains as they haul in just about any pass that comes their way.
When it comes to defense, Buffalo does not disappoint. Names like Dorian Williams, Terrel Bernard, Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp evoke fear in opposing offenses as they know these players can drag them to the turf. Greg Rousseau and AJ Espenesa are more than capable of getting to the quarterback and picking up the sack. The signing of defensive end Joey Bosa bolsters the group even further as he brings his dynamic playmaking ability to Buffalo.
Buffalo’s rich history as contenders has brought some top-level talent through their locker room over the years. The greatest competitors for this franchise include Bruce Smith, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, OJ Simpson, Cornelius Bennett, Steve Tasker, and Darryl Talley.
