ORCHARD PARK, New York: Highmark Stadium complaints about sightlines came from fewer than 1% of personal seat license holders, Buffalo Bills President of Business Operations Pete Guelli said on August 10.
Guelli said the National Football League (NFL) club would review each concern individually. The Highmark Stadium complaints followed the Return of the Blue & Red practice, which attracted more than 51,000 fans on August 8.
Photos shared online showed some views restricted by the press box, railings or stairways. The Associated Press said the team had not offered fully obstructed press-box seats for football games.
A Bills official told AP that the team may sell those Section 417 seats for concerts with a suitable stage position. Guelli said prospective buyers received virtual previews of the expected field of view for their seats. He maintained that the previews clearly identified partial-view and limited-view seats.
Buffalo Bills Vice President of Stadium Development John Polka said officials were also reviewing the use of the scoreboard, audio and other presentation details. The team plans to refine stadium operations during the next six weeks.

The Buffalo Bills will play their first regular-season home game there against the Detroit Lions on September 17.
