Highmark Stadium Events

For any true football fan who wants to experience a sliver of NFL history while it still lives, a ticket to a Buffalo Bills in the next three years will be high on the bucket list. Highmark Stadium, home to the Bills since 1973, will close in 2026 when the team moves across the street to a new facility to be called New Highmark Stadium in tribute to the original. It took a very long time for the home team to christen Highmark Stadium with a playoff game, but after they did, in 1988, the Bills never looked back, losing just two playoff games at home over the next 25 seasons. Sadly, four of the playoff games that the Bills played away from Highmark Stadium were losses in four consecutive Super Bowl Final appearances, with the first game in 1991 being known as “The Miss” or “47 Wide Right” due to kicker Scott Norwood missing a prospective game-winning 47-yard field goal in the dying minutes of the fourth quarter. Bills fans remain loyal, however, believing that one day their team will right the wrongs of the past. As well as all regular season and playoff Bills home games, Highmark Stadium plays host to a packed calendar of big college football matches, concerts, and even outdoor NHL hockey games. Hungry visitors will enjoy a wide selection of hearty food such as buffalo wild wings, hot chicken and waffles, and tacos on offer at Highmark Stadium, as well as hot (and boozy) drinks to warm body and soul through cold Buffalo winter nights. Kiosks and shops at the stadium sell team and event merchandise, including many items with the team’s iconic Bills logo of a buffalo (bison) in mid-jump.
