Power shut off at Highmark Stadium with demolition starting
Workers are dismantling the 53-year-old stadium piece by piece, with crews using heavy equipment instead of an implosion, officials said.
- On Friday, power was disconnected at Highmark Stadium, officially starting mass demolition of the Buffalo Bills' home for 53 years in Orchard Park.
- Contractor Breeze National is performing mechanical demolition rather than implosion, using heavy equipment like excavators and wrecking balls to dismantle the concrete structure piece by piece.
- Before full demolition, the Bills and Erie County retained a company to salvage stadium elements with resale value, including seats, signs, and goal posts, splitting the proceeds.
- Crews will clear the site to grade, converting the area into parking space as the organization transitions away from the former stadium location.
- This demolition marks the end of a 53-year history at Orchard Park, as the franchise moves forward to a new stadium facility.
