Goodbye, bleacher seats. Another vestige of a bygone, blue collar era of Buffalo.

Yesterday as I stood at my seat far after the game ended, I tried to soak it all in. I tried to remember and give a moment to every section and seat I’ve sat in throughout the place. The people I’ve gone with, the ones who have passed on, the ones I’m not so close with anymore, the ones I still go with. I thought of my childlike wonder when I first walked thru the stadium as a wide eyed 5 year old. The random strangers I’ve hugged and spent a game sitting next to becoming friends. The tailgates, the food, the parties, the got damn bus lot!!! (RIP) It may not of looked like much, especially to the world outside of our community but it didn’t need to look the part to be the one of the best game day experiences in the NFL. It was us, in every way. The new stadium has the bells and whistles, but it will also have 10,000 less of us. Screaming loyal fans replaced with more leg space and corporate suites. A lot of us being priced out after doing our part to ensure a new home for the team we love. So even though they’re just going across the street, in a way this felt like an ending. An ending of the way we knew Bills games, the way we felt a part of it, the way it felt like home, the way it felt like it was for us. I will miss this place and this era of my life so much. Go Bills. Forever, home 🏠

#Bears QB Caleb Williams among NFL QBs in 2025:
• 3,942 passing yards (7th)
• 27 passing TDs (6th)
• 6 fourth-quarter comebacks (1st)
• 6 game-winning drives (T-2nd)
He's the first Bears QB to finish top 10 in passing yards since Erik Kramer in 1995.

#OTD in 1942, Rogers Hornsby became the 14th player selected to the @baseballhall, getting 78% of the vote. Still to this day, Hornsby's offensive brilliance rivals that of any player before or since. Here’s an in-progress painting of him with the Cubs at Wrigley in 1929.

Every Bills fan singing “Iris” by our hometown heroes, @googoodolls , to a Bills montage 😭🦬

At 97 years old, Marv Levy remains a vibrant Bills booster and a true blue Chicagoan. The Bears are on the rise, albeit without the wins. And the Bills are in town. For fans braving the cold today, I hope “Bear Down, Chicago Bears” plays on repeat!

“Best fans ever.”
#BillsMafia cheering the Bills and Bruce Smith and @thurmanthomas cheering them right back is fandom-athletes at its best. Pulling for the Bills today!

This is the video. Tre’Davious White stopping in his tracks to watch the closing video at Highmark Stadium as Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls plays 🥹

Think one of the saddest things I’ve watched today were #Bills season ticket holders hugging and saying goodbye to one another. Tears on some of them.
With the new stadium next year, this a final goodbye between some of these people that have bonded for years.

What a scene in Buffalo. No one left their seats when the game was over. Highlights played on the Jumbotron and fans sat in appreciation!
Honored to have been a part of the broadcast closing out the home stadium since 1973!

After some remarks from Kelly, Reed and a message from Marv Levy, a group picture and an impromptu huddle at midfield.
