RALPH WILSON STADIUM

11090-D

Rich Stadium is the home stadium for the Buffalo Bills National Football League football team. (1973-present)

What is now known as Ralph Wilson Stadium, also known as "The Ralph", was commissioned as a result of the AFL-NFL merger. While suitable for American Football League play, Buffalo War Memorial Stadium was both in disrepair and deemed undersized for a National Football League team, with a capacity of under 47,000 (league mandates instituted after the merger dictated a minimum of 50,000 seats). Bills owner Ralph Wilson briefly considered moving the team to Seattle, Washington, but ultimately rejected that scenario.
