The Buffalo Bills will not honor O.J. Simpson as they move to their new stadium, as confirmed by chief operating officer Pete Guelli. Simpson's name, previously displayed on the Wall of Fame at their former home, will be omitted from the new facility. Guelli stated that the organizational decision reflects Simpson's tarnished legacy, stemming from his controversial past, including murder charges in 1994. The team plans to feature other franchise greats in a new display area called the 'Family Circle.' The Bills recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new $2.1 billion stadium, which is currently being completed following the demolition of their former site, Highmark Stadium.

"The Buffalo Bills are leaving O.J. Simpson and his tarnished legacy behind, in making the move to their new stadium this season, chief operating officer Pete Guelli said on Saturday. After the late Hall of Fame running back’s name remained on display on the Wall of Fame inside their now-former home, Guelli said there will be no mention of Simpson at their new stadium across the street. “We have made an organizational decision that he is not a fit to display inside our new stadium and Family Circle,” Guelli said in statement released by the team.
