Ralph Wilson Stadium

The Buffalo Bills christened Ralph Wilson Stadium on August 17, 1973. The stadium originally had a seating capacity of over 80,000, consisting of three decks of blue and red seats. The lower and second levels of seats circle the entire Fieldturf playing field. An upper level of seats are located on both sides of the playing field. The playing field is located 50 feet below ground level, eliminating long walks to the upper deck. Ralph Wilson Stadium has underwent many changes over the years. In 1984, the stadium's capacity was increased to 80,290 with the addition of 16 executive suites, and in 1992, 24 more executive suites were added. More additions were completed in 1994. The Red Zone and Goal Line clubs, that are enclosed of glass and consist of 500 seats were added along with 14 executive suites. The main addition in 1994 was a massive 31.5 feet high and 41.5 feet wide JumboTron video/scoreboard.  In 1998 the seating capacity was reduced to just under 74,000, as new larger seats were installed. This addition also included more luxury and club seats. In 2007, a new 88ft by 32ft HD video/scoreboard was installed and replaced the old Sony Jumbotron. Electronic ribbon boards were also installed in the interior. Beginning in 2008 and for the next five years, the Bills will play one December home game in Toronto at the Rogers Center.
