Bills "very happy" with how field held up in new Highmark Stadium debut
The condition of the playing field at the new Highmark Stadium was a talking point in the wake of last Saturday's preseason game between the Bills and the Panthers.
The condition of the playing field at the new Highmark Stadium drew attention following the Bills' preseason game against the Panthers last Saturday. During the match, chunks of grass were torn from the ground, leading to the replacement of divots and a surface that appeared uneven by the end of the game. However, Bills president Pete Guelli told the Associated Press that these issues were not surprising, given the relatively new status of the field.
He explained that the grounds crew was aware of the possibility and that they were promptly addressed. Guelli expressed confidence that the field's performance would enhance as it settles in. "From a playability and safety perspective, everybody's very happy," he stated. The Bills have one more preseason home game this month before their inaugural regular season match in Week 2.
The team hopes the subsequent games will generate more conversation about gameplay quality rather than the playing surface.
