New $2.1B Bills stadium shows amazing snow technology vs. old one in aerial footage

The Buffalo Bills had a home game on Sunday in the snow vs. the Cincinnati BEngels at Highmark Stadium. Next season, they’ll be at the new Highmark Stadium when construction is completed on the $2.1 billion endeavor. An awesome flyover shows how the new one looks in the snow vs. the old one and it’s stunning.
Before the season, we showed off a crazy two-year time lapse of construction, which is occurring literally next to the current stadium.
The new stadium will have some awesome features like a 360-degree canopy that will cover 65 percent of the seats from the harsh Buffalo elements to go along with stacked seating to bring fans closer to the action; it will include a rarity in a natural grass field, which will also be heated; it will feature state-of-the-art technology for fans including amazing video and scoreboards along with an acoustic sound system.

The stadium is still open, so homefield advantage will definitely still exist in Buffalo.
