Buffalo Bills to address seating sightline concerns on a case-by-case basis at new $2.1B stadium
Buffalo Bills officials have announced they will address individual sightline concerns at their new $2.1 billion stadium on a case-by-case basis, following criticism over partially obstructed views during the team's annual Blue and Red practice. Though the majority of fan feedback about the $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium was positive, a few complaints surfaced, with team president Pete Guelli stating that they came from less than 1% of personal seat licensing holders.
The main issue centered around seats in the last row of Section 417 in the northwest corner, where the view of the far end zone was mostly blocked by the press box outcropping. The Bills plan to review each complaint and refine any details over the next six weeks before the regular-season home opener against Detroit on September 17.
The stadium's design was inspired by the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur's home, which also hosts NFL games in London, with Bills owner Terry Pegula noting that there are very few bad seats in the Hotspur stadium.
