The first episode of the Buffalo Bills New Stadium series “Built For Buffalo” focuses on the vision for the stadium, giving an overview of the concept and design process, culminating in the groundbreaking event. Touchpoints include an explanation of why the Bills need a new stadium, how the project team is assembled, the desire to build a “football-first” environment, and why Buffalo shouldn’t be considered a small market team, but a global brand and destination NFL city.

The Built For Buffalo series documents the planning and construction of the new Highmark Stadium, with a focus on how this project is uniquely and thoughtfully crafted for the rabid football fanbase in Western New York.

Episode one features insights from Bills owner Terry Pegula, Executive VP Ron Raccuia, SVP Frank Cravotta, VP of Stadium Development John Polka, and Populous Senior Principal Scott Radecic.

    I'm 71, and I was born in 1952. My parents were not football fans, but my uncle was. Every Sunday we would visit, his house or ours, and he and I would watch football. In the early years on an 8 inch B&W TV!! When I was 7, my uncle told me about a new team in Buffalo. Then at 9, in 1961, he took me to my first game in Buffalo! I was really hooked then!! In 1973 I had been working at Kodak for 3 years. There was a small bar at the end of my street. They decided to get a bus trip going to the opening game at the new Bills stadium! I signed up for my girlfriend and I and we had a blast! I never saw a place that big! In 1988 I got season tickets, and had them through the Kelly years. I went to SB-26 with my best friend! We flew to Minnesota and back on a brand new Trump Shuttle B737! After all that I gave up my tickets. And now, another new stadium!! Two new stadiums, in one lifetime, for the best team in the league is just special!! Go BILLS!! Thanks for reading 8) --gary

    Hell yes. As a die hard Bills fan who no longer lives in Buffalo, I need these videos. I want to see weekly updates on the build. I'd watch every second.

    Whoever managed this episode/project in the Bills’ PR/Marketing team- great job. Awesome!
  • @MUTV2
    Wow at 11:16 that is so cool. Played as Bill for 12 years then went on to have a successful career in architechture. Amazing, and to be able to come back and build a new stadium for your old team. As a Bills fan you know it's going to be done right.

    I wish The Bills Fans all the best for this project. We have Lions season tickets and attend every home game. If the NFL gives you a Monday Night game I hope it’s with the Lions visiting. We would love to attend the first national spotlight game for The Bills. Hope you end up loving your future home as much as we love Ford Field. One Pride.

    I've been to a couple of Bills games, and they have the nicest fans. Awesome experience from the tailgating in front of the stadium to the great hospitality of the bills fans and the good food. Can't wait to see the new stadium

  • @markgolden6265
    I hope they have overpasses or underpasses so you won’t have to cross the street to get to the stadium.
  • @frenziedfive
    When Terry said "Ralph, we're moving across the street" I remembered that we used to be so worried about them moving across the country.
  • @daylanm66
    I’m excited asf for the new stadium but man I’m going to miss the current stadium so many memories at the current stadium when it’s all said and done I’ll have spent the first 27 years of my life watching games at this stadium

  • @zeroeffortmemes
    Man i remember when the Raiders first put out their equivalent video series for what would become Allegiant Stadium. Was so cool to see it come together through each new video, can't wait to see the same with Buffalo!
  • @ChiefsFanInSC
    This is long overdue for a historic and great NFL franchise.
  • @WesleyFilms43
    As a die hard Eagles fan, I cant wait to visit the new stadium whenever we play the Bills there. Its looks amazing!
  • @TjayfrmdaA
    How you gonna grow a franchise but the new stadium has less seating than the current? Season ticket holders are running out of space
