Buffalo Bills fans wasted little time spotting issues at the new Highmark Stadium. Photos and posts circulated quickly after early access. One image shows a large black structure blocking a clear view of the field from upper seats.
Journalist John Wawrow shared a photo of what he called a potential worst seat in the house. The structure cuts off part of the end zone. He noted the seat may not even go on sale for regular games. It could only see use during concerts or other events.
