Bills' new Highmark Stadium won't feature any mention of O.J. Simpson: 'Not a fit' [View all]
The Buffalo Bills are making the move to their new Highmark Stadium after five decades at Ralph Wilson Stadium. They aren't taking O.J. Simpson with them.
Simpson, the first inductee of the Bills' Wall of Fame at their old home, will not be included in any of Highmark Stadium's new displays inside or outside the stadium, team officials told WIVB News 4. That includes the Family Circle, an outdoor plaza that will feature plaques honoring Wall of Fame inductees.
From WIVB:
"We have made an organizational decision that he is not a fit to display inside our new stadium and family circle." said Pete Guelli, chief operating officer for the Bills, in a statement on Saturday.
The Bills' reason for doing this should hopefully be obvious. Simpson, who died in 2024, spent the final three decades of his life as a public pariah following a murder trial in which he was found not guilty for the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman.
