This was the last event (short a small miracle) that the Buffalo Bills will host at Highmark Stadium. It has been a great for me to visit both as a kid and as a parent with my son. Highmark Stadium has provided us with so many fantastic memories and I am hopeful the new stadium will do the same. A football stadium is more about the fans and staff and Buffalo has the coolest/most welcoming fans ever! The staff is almost always friendly and courteous with positive words to say. From security and ticket scanners to guest services, food service and even elevator attendants. The kind friendly l faces can truly make your day. The prices for tickets, season passes, food, and souvenirs is already beyond the point that most folks can no longer afford to attend a game there, let alone bring their families to enjoy it with them. The new Highmark Stadium is l already proving it might push most fans away l and leave them on the parking lot or at home to watch games. This is very sad indeed.

There will never be another stadium like the old Highmark Stadium, AKA New Era Field, The Ralph, Rich Stadium, etc. I brought my girlfriend along with some other friends to go to our first (and last) regular season game at this stadium against the Bucs, and it was incredible!

Though we look forward to the new stadium across the street, you simply cannot replace the history and character of the old stadium. Thanks for the memories, and Go Bills!! 🦬🥲

First NFL game! Most enjoyable experience, despite the near constant rain and cold temperatures.
Loved the feeling of being close to the action. It felt as if every seat was right on top of the field. We sat in Section 111, Row 4, behind the Eagles’ bench, and occasionally one could hear the players’ chatter.
The rain dampened (pun not intended) the overall experience but all in all was very enjoyable.
Not sure I understand the culture of the “event” (a Bills’ home game) with tailgaters tailgating many hours before kick-off vs. arriving a comfortable time prior to kick-off, park, watch warm ups, &c., but I’m sure it was just me.
I hear that this was the second-last regular season NFL game to be played at the stadium. (I figure this is the old “Rich Stadium” I heard about growing up.) Glad to have finally made it to a game.

I will remember my visit there in the after life. Bills bengals was the best thing I've literally ever experienced. Two foot - long nachos were very 🔥 bougie pickled onions, great chips. Beef brisket sandwich had lil hot peppers it was just to die for - definitely expect the stadium food to be good but this was great . Parking for $$$ 60 by the Tim Hortons kinda sucked but hey when in Rome.

Great stadium. Sad to see it go after this year. Home og THE Buffalo Bills. Bills Mafia houses all around the stadium make this one of the best stadium/tailgating atmospheres in all of football. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! GO BILLS. God Bless.

Had a great time with my son watching our first game at Highmark. Even got a 1st game certificate at the guest experience booth. Loved the old school feel of the stadium, almost felt like Fenway Park. Intimate and not a bad seat in the house. Easy to park and enter the stadium and all the amenities were great. Best of all, Bills Mafia was on point. Go Bills!

The atmosphere was electric. I have seen it on TV, but I never experienced it in person until last Sunday! Can't wait until the new stadium is done. Go BILLS MAFIA!! Hell yeah!

Where else would you rather be?

Ah the Ralph. If you are a true Bills fan, you know that this stadium holds many memories - both good and bad. To be able to experience it is simply one of the greatest things a Bills fan can do for themselves.

There isn't a bad seat in the house, and the fans are truly welcoming and kind (even if you're a rival team fan - though expect to get jokingly teased).

We've visited at least 4 times and had nothing but a great experience overall.

The entry to the stadium is easy enough, (though one time a guard tried to make my dispose of my vape) especially if you have a clear bag and your mobile ticket ready to go.

The fans are LOUD! I'm talking L-O-U-D! There is nothing like singing "Mr. Brightside" at the top of your lungs with thousands of other Bills Mafia members. Not to mention the endless amount of times you will hear the "shout" song after every Bills TD, oh, and we can't forget the Amtrak train horn on third downs and important plays.

Unlike Eagles fans, while we are roudy, we are kind, politie, and yeah, a little silly. But so far every single Bills fan I've encountered (both at the stadium and tailgating) has been super kind, fun, and in good spirits.

Food options are great, your usual stadium offerings - but with Buffalo flair (wings, beef on weck, lenova pizza, tim's coffee). Prices are what you would expect at a NFL Stadium. Important to note they only take credit/debit cards (no cash).

The Bills Store is usually PACKED on game-days so if you want to shop, get there early.

Ticket prices - well. . . They are what you would expect, though if you wait until the last minute you may find some lower priced/face-value tickets available from resellers.

Mens bathroom note: Yeah, they have a trough. It's a right of passage. Deal with it. Keep your eyes forward and you'll be fine.

This place is dated, but, nostalgic. It's truly something every Bills fan has to experience at least once in their life, before it gets torn down (hopefully thereby ending the Super Bowl curse.)

The Bills and stadium staff are all helpful and want to make sure you have the best experience possible.

Traffic can be a bit nuts as they close Abbot road early. Best advice is to find a tailgate lot on Big Tree or further down Abbot. Expect to pay cash (anywhere from $50 - $80). Pack your patience.

Also, would not suggest the "official" parking - you'll be stuck for HOURS trying to get out, and you're paying a TON of money.

GO BILLS!!!!!!!

HEY-EY-EY-EY! LETS GO BUFFALO!

Farewell season for the Buffalo Bills in this stadium. Hope the new one offers a little more room as far as seating ( leg room
and maybe a little distance from the person in the seat next to you) just for comfort
GO BILLS

Go Bills!
Staff was friendly. Security/entry moved quickly. Had a great time at the game and we won!
I recommend taking the bus to avoid traffic, parking and DUIs.

By Tom Carcetti on September 24, 2025 Verified by Google

Watching the buffalo bills here is amazing, hard to believe it is the last year here in the Ralph. Traffic this year is tough due to the construction I recommend parking about 1 miles away and walking, unless you decide to get to the game 2 hours before kick off. Fans are fun when the bills win. Concessions are pricey, but they gotta get their money somewhere.

Amazing Atmosphere, but Traffic is a Challenge

Highmark Stadium is a fantastic place to experience a Buffalo Bills game—the energy, the fans, and the atmosphere are truly unforgettable. As a Bills fan, being there for a win (31–21 in our case) was an incredible experience. The crowd is loud, passionate, and makes the whole event feel special. We drove 6 hours plus from Ottawa, Canada to Buffalo, NY to see this game on September 18, 2025.

That said, the logistics of getting in and out leave a lot to be desired. The stadium is tucked into a residential neighborhood, which makes access slow and congested. We were lucky enough to park inside the stadium lot after arriving around 5 p.m. for an 8:20 p.m. Thursday night game. Even so, it still took 30 minutes just to get through the crowd and into the lot. Leaving was the real challenge—it took us 1 hour and 30 minutes to exit the lot, followed by bumper-to-bumper traffic moving in a single direction. I didn’t see much traffic control, which made the process frustrating.

If you plan to go, your best bet is to embrace the tailgating culture—arrive early, enjoy the pregame fun, and expect a long wait after the game ends (or stay and tailgate longer to let the traffic die down).

Overall, the in-stadium experience is fantastic and makes up for the headaches getting in and out. With the new stadium on the way, I’m really hoping they bring in experts to design a smoother traffic flow, because the Bills fans deserve it.

There is nothing like a bills game! We’re from Dallas and it’s gotta be the most fun I ever had in the parking lot before the game and during the game. They are such a welcoming fan base.

By Ebony Malone on August 10, 2025 Verified by Google

The parking lot attendant was amazing. The game itself was a great experience! My entire family loves sports and we would love to go see another game if we can find affordable tickets. It was difficult finding our seats several people who offered to help (security and courtesy helper) didn't even know where our seats were. We were given incorrect directions twice and once we finally found our seats it was almost half time. The section we sat in had super uncomfortable seats so we stood along the wall for most of the game.

Went here and had a ball! Dolphins and bills made a great game to come too with fellas! I'll be back to check out new stadium that was being built! Energy was nice....

By James Brennan on January 24, 2025 Verified by Google

Went to an away game. Can only compare it to my home stadium. Infrastructure around stadium is not ideal for large crowds of people. Difficult to get into the game, difficult to get out. Small bathrooms, large lines for them. Limited concession items. Buffalo fans are awesome. They play hard but stay respectful. Thank God they're getting a new stadium. They deserve it.

First time EVER going to a Bills game and a playoff game. And you didn’t disappoint that’s for sure. Amazing atmosphere and so much fun.
Thank you ♥️💙🦬

Best tailgating for away fans. 99.9% of bills fans have been awesome both times I’ve been. Would love to go to a real Buffalo weather game!!!

By Mark Smith on December 24, 2024 Verified by Google

Lets go Buffalo! A great experience to watch a football game but time to get with the times and provide many more luxuries. Glad that Buff is finally moving to a new state-of-the-art stadium. Tailgating set up is incredible.

Bills vs. niners old fashioned whooping. Amazing game and atmosphere as usual in Buffalo. The highlight of the snowy night was legend Andre Reed approaching my family before the game for pix since he noticed his jersey. An absolute class guy from a great organization.

By Emmett Hartman on December 2, 2024 Verified by Google

We went to the Bills VS 49ers game tonight, and the experience was amazing. The whole buffalo vibe was really cool, and I wouldn’t have wanted my first NFL game to be anywhere else. Only problem was the drunk fans, but there’s nothing Highmark can do about it.

By Tom O'Connor on November 18, 2024 Verified by Google

Despite being a Chiefs fan the staff and fans at the park were terrific! Thanks for making the day a lot of fun Buffalo. Some good-natured ribbing, usually followed by a handshake. Thank you so much for a really memorable day.

Only downside. The inside of the stadium at halftime is a disaster waiting to happen!

By Kevin Markman on November 18, 2024 Verified by Google

Good vibe with all the Bills Mafia. Fun when not too cold. Good foot long hot dog. 🌭 they are building the new one but this I’d good until then.

What is now becoming an annual trek to Western NY to watch our Buffalo Bills play. Incredible atmosphere, great fans, great day and ended in a Buffalo victory.

Can’t want until October 2025 and we get to do this again!

LOVE LOVE LOVE coming to Highmark! We always make it an annual trip from Omaha, Ne. to come see our Buffalo Bills play, and we always have a great time!!
