‘”I mean, obviously, it’s not close to done yet, but you can kind of see the rows of where the seats will be, the layers of the stadium.

I can’t wait.”‘

‘”We’re passionate. We are passionate about our team,” said Bills fan Megan from Hamburg before Friday’s “Return of the Blue and Red” practice at Highmark Stadium. “Do we want to be known as a fan base that other teams don’t like?

‘It was a competitive process, we were looking for the best location to have camp. As you can see, this is an incredible place, and Fisher jumped up on the map pretty quickly as the destination,” Guelli said. “Started working with the college, started working with people in the town, and we we’re able to put something together. Even that Year 1, we knew it was going to be a success, the way people turned out, the way they reacted to it. And Rochester is a critical market for us, so it’s always going to be important. To put a stake in the ground in the city with an event like training camp is very important.”‘

He’s been in a cast for about four weeks, and we just got a new one with Bills red. And all he wants is for Josh Allen to sign his cast today.”‘
