Bills reveal massive smoke-breathing bison statues outside new Highmark Stadium

The Buffalo Bills are charging ahead with one of the most talked-about features of their new stadium. The team released rendings and video of giant bison statues will anchor the "Family Circle" outside new Highmark Stadium when it opens in 2026. The sculptures have been part of the stadium design since the project was first unveiled, sparking years of fan speculation about whether the Bills would actually build them.

New there's an answer. Yes, and they're enormous. How big are the Bills' bison statues?

The installation will feature a family of three: Bull: 27 feet tall, 29 feet long, about 23,000 pounds Cow: 22 feet tall, 23 feet long Calf: 12 feet tall, 13 feet long The bull statue will weight 11. 5 tons. For reference, more than 10 times more than an actual American bison (1,000-2,000 pounds).

Where will the statues be located? The bison will sit in a new gathering space called Family Circle, located just outside the stadium entrance. The area is designed as a pregame and postgame hangout spot, featuring: Benches and open space for fans Illuminated plaques honoring Bills greats Lighting around the perimeter.
