How much did New Highmark Stadium cost to build?
The new Highmark Stadium is the 60,108-seat open-air home of the NFL's Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, New York, owned by the State of New York and operated by Legends Hospitality, with a natural grass field with heating coils, the world's largest stadium snow-melt system and a canopy over about 60 percent of the seats. ESPN reported at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on 23 June 2026 that it cost more than USD 2.1 billion, as did StadiumDB two days later, whereas Wikipedia's text says USD 1.7 billion and its infobox USD 2.2 billion.
