Grass typically doesn’t grow year-round in Buffalo, but the Bills are aiming to change that at their new home. The team has opted for a natural grass field in their $2.2 billion stadium — a major shift from the artificial turf they’ve played on since 1973 in Orchard Park. Natural turf requires far more effort to install and maintain, but the Bills have made it a priority in response to growing calls from NFL players for safer and more consistent playing conditions.
The system will incorporate sub-air technology (airflow beneath the field), advanced irrigation, wireless temperature and humidity control, hydronic heating, and grow lights — all designed to enable grass to thrive regardless of the weather. The Bills’ new home will be only the second NFL stadium to feature such an advanced year-round grass growth system.
