The Buffalo Bills are replacing the grass field at Highmark Stadium ahead of the team’s home opener. Reports say the change is scheduled before the stadium’s regular-season debut, even after the field showed improvement during the Bills’ second preseason game.

The outlets describe the grass surface as having developed large divots during the preseason, which affected the playing surface. While the field condition improves at points, the team still decides to install a new surface to ensure it meets expectations for regular-season use.

Across the coverage, the main focus is the timing and condition of the turf. One outlet emphasizes the improvement seen in the later preseason outing, while others highlight the earlier problem areas that prompted the replacement decision, but all agree the Bills are moving forward with a grass replacement before kickoff at home.
