Bills fans criticize new stadium design ahead of first game

The Buffalo Bills have received backlash for the design of their new Highmark Stadium before even hosting a game. The venue, which held an open practice attended by nearly 52,000 fans, showed signs of obstructed views from several seats, disappointing some season ticket holders. Smaller video boards and limited bathroom access at higher levels have also sparked criticism. The Bills acknowledged the feedback and indicated they would spend the next few weeks refining the stadium ahead of their home opener on September 17. More than $850 million in taxpayer funds were used for the $2.1 billion project, adding to the scrutiny over the construction.
