Old Highmark Stadium demolition in Orchard Park, NY, to run through March 2027

Crews in Orchard Park, New York, began demolishing the 53-year-old former Highmark Stadium in May, after the Bills played their final game there in January and power was disconnected. The mechanical demolition, rather than implosion, includes asbestos abatement, utility and debris removal, retaining wall construction and filling the site to grade, with completion slated for March 2027. Fans may still see work underway across Abbott Road during the 2026 season, while the Bills' nearby training facility remains untouched and no redevelopment plan has been finalized.
