#BNDrone: Highmark Stadium
The #BNDrone takes you on an aerial tour in the sky over Highmark Stadium, built in 1973, as the home of the Buffalo Bills.

Highmark Stadium, which began its life as Rich Stadium, turns 50 this week.
Herb Mul-Key earned his 15 minutes of fame in 15 seconds. He’s the Washington kick returner who found the end zone before most Bills fans had found their seats on the mid-August night when Rich Stadium opened 50 years ago Thursday.
As the process unfolds, the reality of what might have been – a downtown stadium that could have done much more than simply host football games – will begin to sink in, Watson says.
