Bills legend Jim Kelly drops honest review of $2,100,000,000 new stadium amid backlash from fans

Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly shared his opinion on the team’s new Highmark Stadium on Instagram on Saturday. The Bills shared a glimpse of their new stadium, which cost a reported $2.1 billion to build, earlier in the offseason but it was met with criticism from fans online.

However, Kelly begged to differ via his IG post, in which he shared his thoughts on the new Highmark Stadium.

“Had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the new Highmark Stadium, and it was even better than I imagined. You can already feel the energy and excitement building, it’s going to be something special. Excited for what it means for the team, the fans, and the city of Buffalo. Looking forward to the season🏈👍🏻,” Kelly wrote in his Instagram caption.

Kelly shared seven slides on his IG post, sharing his feelings in pointers.

“1. Sitting in my seats at the new stadium. 2. Looking for where my seats are. 3. A field for kids located outside the stadium. 4. Walking back to see the locker room. 5. Touring the locker room… AWESOME💪🏼 6. A view from the stands! 7. Walking out onto the field. 8. Thinking about the home opener!” Kelly added.

Kelly played 11 seasons with the Bills from 1986 to 1996. He led the franchise to four straight Super Bowl appearances, but never won the big game.
