Summary
$30 bought Bills fans a domestic beer and souvenir beer horn at Thursday's first game in the new Highmark Stadium, while one couple spent $113 on two beers, two horns, popcorn and a personal pizza.
Other concession prices were also steep — $19 for souvenir popcorn, $18 for wings and $14 each for pierogies or an Italian sausage — turning the opener into an expensive first look at the venue.
Beer-horn demand also clogged concourses, with fans in one 300-level line saying they waited more than an hour; one reported a 1-hour-15-minute wait for a beer.
Fans still embraced the opener after Buffalo beat Detroit, with the stadium's loud atmosphere and the wider Bills tailgating scene helping offset complaints about prices and crowding.
