Once Demolished, Here is What’s Going Where Old Highmark Stadium Now Stands

The Buffalo Bills are going to demolish the current Highmark Stadium once the one across the street is built. The new stadium will be ready for a 2026 season debut across the street.

The Buffalo Bills have hinted that there is going to be an event before the Buffalo Bills season starts that will serve as a test-run for the stadium before the Buffalo Bills get underway in Orchard Park, New York. There have been some rumors of a concert being the first event at the new stadium. Smart move by the Buffalo Bills. You wouldn't want all of the kinks and problems to 'show up' at the first Buffalo Bills game. Now, they'll be brought to life, if there even are any major problems at the first event there in the Summer of 2026.

They are going to being demo in the Spring of 2027 and have mentioned a target of March 2027.

What is going in place of the old Highmark Stadium once that it is demoed?

There was once a rumor that Terry Pegula, the owner of the Buffalo Bills wanted to put a music venue where the old Highmark Stadium is. Pegula and his wife, Kim are the owners of a Nashville based record label called Black River Entertainment that has country and Christian artists. The highlights on their roster include Kelsea Ballerini and Chris Young who are both very popular on the country music scene.

Though, not the case for the music video, more parking will become available for Buffalo Bills fans when the demo the stadium and it becomes a parking lot. It will get a lot of Buffalo Bills fans parking closer than they are right now over in Orchard Park, New York.
