Bills fans must wait until 2026 to attend a game in Buffalo's new home stadium, but if they can't wait, they should buy a ticket to next season's game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Tottenham Hotspur, which opened in 2019, has a similar look to the first rendering of the future Bills stadium. It holds roughly 62,000 fans, about the capacity of Buffalo's new stadium, according to USA Today Sports.

In fact, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was built by the architectural design group Populous, which is in charge of designing the Bills new stadium.

According to Bills Insider Chris Brown, the new stadium will have a stacked seating design to help retain crowd noise and also provide protection from the elements, with heating in place to enhance the comfort of fans.

"The goal is to create the most vibrant, loudest, ground-shaking experience possible," Brown said. "In recognition of the uniquely Western New York culture, throughout the stadium there will be dynamic areas designed to bring Bills fans together to share their love for local food, beverage and camaraderie."

Earlier this week, the NFL announced the Bills will play in London in 2023 as part of the league's International Games. It will count as one of the Bills' nine home games, with the date and opponent yet to be determined.
