OnThisDay In 1973, The Buffalo Bills play their first game at Rich Stadium, now known as Highmark Stadium. The game was a preseason match between the then-named Washington Redskins (Now Commanders). The game was completely sold out, attended by roughly 80,000 people. Funnily enough, the Buffalo News reported that the traffic was notably “awful”. #BuffaloHistoryChannel #BuffaloHistory #BuffaloBills #NFL #BuffaloBillsHistory #NFLHistory
