Buffalo Bills fans are snapping up pieces of Highmark Stadium before the wrecking ball arrives next year. The stadium has been the team's home since 1973.
Crews removed signs in February and pulled out seats throughout March, according to project manager Brandon Steiner. Workers are now preparing to cut up sections of the field in the next 10 days.
Fans can buy everything from regular stadium seats to special items signed by Hall of Fame players Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas. The team is also selling pieces of the actual goalpost.
The Bills are moving to a new stadium, making this the end of an era for the franchise. Highmark Stadium has hosted decades of games, including memorable playoff runs and tough winter weather that became part of Bills lore.
Fans are buying the memorabilia online, with prices varying based on the item and any signatures or special features.
This is the last chance for Bills fans to own a piece of their team's 50-year history at this stadium. Sports memorabilia from demolished stadiums often becomes valuable and meaningful to collectors over time.
Field sections will be cut up within 10 days. Full stadium demolition begins next year when the Bills move to their new venue.
