This week a new, modern sports venue will open in the state of New York. Designed by Populous architectural design firm -- the people behind Yankee Stadium, Wembley Stadium and The Sphere, among others -- the new venue replaces a decades-old facility that was beloved by New Yorkers but was well past its prime. But enough about the new Belmont Park race track in Long Island.
In upstate New York, another sparkling sports venue makes its debut when the new $2.2 billion Highmark Stadium opens its gates for the Thursday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions. The state-of-the-art facility, which shares the name of the old stadium it replaces, features natural grass, a 360-degree canopy and seating for 60,108, the smallest capacity in the NFL.

They allowed the Texans to control the clock (36 minutes of possession to 24) and were one-dimensional on offense.
Buffalo rushed for just 86 yards, and 23 of those came from quarterback Josh Allen. "I believe with both teams being able to score offensively, this game will come down to a field goal," Hunt told SportsLine. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, agrees.
It says the Lions have a 41% chance to win and assigns a 'B' grade to the Detroit money line (+196).
