Buffalo Bills Begin Final Season at Highmark Stadium

The Buffalo Bills are playing their final season at Highmark Stadium, affectionately known as "The Ralph," before moving to a new stadium in 2026. Highmark Stadium has been the team's home since 1973 and has witnessed decades of memorable moments, including iconic performances by players like Jim Kelly and Josh Allen, as well as the passionate culture of Bills Mafia fans. To honor this farewell season, the Bills are wearing jersey patches depicting the stadium's outline with the years 1973-2025, and a commemorative poster has been created for the September 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens, celebrating the stadium's legacy. The stadium holds historic significance, including heartbreaking moments like Tom Dempsey's missed last-second field goal in 1979, which deeply affected fans. Jim Kelly's toughness was also highlighted in the stadium's history, notably when he continued to play through an ankle injury, delivering a record-setting performance in 1991. Overall, the closing of Highmark Stadium marks the end of an era for Buffalo football, treasured by fans and players alike.
