A home-field advantage! 🏈 Did you know that the design team for the new Buffalo Bills stadium is led by #BuffaloNY local and #UBuffalo alumni, Todd Graci?🤘🏼#GoBills
Built for Buffalo, by Buffalo
It was a natural fit that Todd Graci, MArch ’12, BS ’10, should find himself at the center of the new Buffalo Bills stadium project. Graci grew up roughly a half-hour away in Kenmore, and his mom liked to take him to Bills games as a small child. She dressed him in that classic childhood Bills fan fashion.

A football team runs onto a field with the text "BUFFALO" visible on their jerseys. Two columns on either side of the entrance shoot fire and smoke into the air. Spectators fill the stands in the background, and cheerleaders stand on the sideline. A group of people sitting in stadium seats. Most wear blue t-shirts with 'Buffalo' and a bull logo, making the 'bull horns' hand gesture. The shirts say 'Buffalo Dance Team,' 'Alumni', 'Buffalo-vs-Everybody' and 'True Blue Through & Through'. At dusk, a silhouetted amusement park ride spins against a vibrant orange and blue sky. The ride's tower is decorated with lights. Trees and a 'CAT' branded truck mark the distant landscape. Marching band members in blue and white uniforms and shiny silver hats play saxophones, smiling and having a good time.
