Collins & Collins Attends Historic Buffalo Bills Stadium Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

June 23, 2026

On a beautiful sunny Tuesday morning, a few members of the Collins & Collins team had the privilege of attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Buffalo Bills stadium. With clear skies, warm temperatures, and a tremendous sense of excitement in the air, it was the perfect day to celebrate a historic milestone for Buffalo and Western New York.

The event brought together Bills legends, ownership, community leaders, friends and family, and many of the individuals who played a vital role in bringing this incredible project to life. It was a day filled with pride, appreciation, and reflection on the years of planning and hard work that went into creating what will soon become the new home of the Buffalo Bills.

For us, the highlight of the day was honoring the hardworking union tradesmen and tradeswomen who dedicated countless hours to making this dream a reality. From the ironworkers and laborers to the electricians, plumbers, operating engineers, and every skilled trade in between, their craftsmanship and commitment are evident throughout every corner of this state-of-the-art facility. The new stadium stands as a lasting testament to the talent, dedication, and professionalism of New York's union workforce.

Guests were also given the opportunity to tour the stadium and experience firsthand the incredible design, innovation, and attention to detail that make this venue truly special. Walking through the concourses and taking in the modern features that fans will enjoy for years to come was an unforgettable experience. It became clear quickly that this stadium was built not just for today's fans, but for generations of Buffalonians who will make memories here for decades to come.

As a family-owned law firm founded by John T. Collins, a proud union railroader who dedicated his life to advocating for workers' rights, this event carried special meaning for our team. Collins & Collins has always had deep ties to organized labor, and seeing the impact union workers have had on one of the largest projects in Western New York's history was truly inspiring.

Today was about more than cutting a ribbon. It was about recognizing the men and women who built something extraordinary, celebrating Buffalo's continued growth, and looking ahead to a bright future for our community.

We extend our congratulations to the Buffalo Bills organization, the Pegula family, and everyone involved in making this project a reality. Most importantly, we thank the thousands of union tradesmen and tradeswomen whose hard work, skill, and dedication helped create a landmark that Buffalo will proudly call home for many decades to come.

Buffalo built this stadium. Union labor made it possible. And Western New York should be proud.

From all of us at Collins & Collins, congratulations on a historic day for Buffalo and the hardworking men and women who helped bring this vision to life.
