- The new 60,000-seat stadium, designed by Populous, includes advanced features such as underground heating coils to prevent grass freezing, specialized grow lights, a snow-melt system, and a wind-blocking canopy to enhance fan comfort.
- The Bills will kick off the use of their state-of-the-art facility with a "Return of the Blue & Red" training camp practice on August 8, with the stadium reported to be 99.75% complete.
