A member of the National Football League (NFL), the Buffalo Bills went to the Super Bowl for four straight years in the 1990s (losing them all) going on to have declining fortunes until the late 2010s. These days, they have been considered big favorites to finally bring home a Lombardi Trophy, thanks to some high-profile talent acquired in a matter of only a few years, and they have definitely benefited from the good publicity and newfound success. Since the early 1970s, they have played their games at Highmark Stadium. The residents of Buffalo and the region surrounding it have followed the Bills through all their trials and tribulations religiously during football season (August through January), and home games almost always sell out. The Bills are building a new stadium across the street that will open in 2026 and inherit the Highmark Stadium name.
