The Bills will debut their new $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park against the Lions on September 17 during Thursday Night Football, with Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit likely on commentary. The stadium’s construction faced criticism, particularly regarding the use of $600 million in taxpayer funds for the privately owned venue. The Bills are transitioning from turf to a grass field, moving from their previous home, which opened in 1973. Last season, the Bills finished 12-5 but were eliminated in the playoffs, while the Lions ended at 9-8.
