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.
