New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- The Buffalo Bills are replacing the grass at Highmark Stadium ahead of their first three home games in Weeks 2-4 to ensure the best playing surface for players.
- The decision to re-sod the Kentucky bluegrass was prompted by visible damage and player feedback, despite the field meeting NFL safety and playability standards.
- Stadium president Pete Guelli emphasized the organization's commitment to optimal field conditions, stating they will monitor the new surface closely.
- The field issues add to ongoing criticism of the Bills' new $2.2 billion stadium, which has faced fan complaints about obstructed views since an open practice in August.
