Buffalo, NY – With the 2024 regular season now upon us, two Western New York institutions are joining forces – Constellation Brands, a leading beverage alcohol company, has launched a multi-year sponsorship of the Buffalo Bills at the existing Highmark Stadium.
Sponsorship from the Fortune 500 company includes two branded club level bars at Highmark Stadium and a community volunteer event in Western New York.
"We are thrilled to support the Buffalo Bills, a Western New York institution that embodies the spirit and resilience of our region," said Garth Hankinson, Constellation's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "This collaboration underscores our deep commitment to the region and our dedication to creating memorable experiences for our consumers and employees."
As the Buffalo Bills have cemented its long-term presence in Western New York with the building of New Highmark Stadium, which is scheduled to open in 2026, so too has Constellation Brands with the official grand opening of its new global headquarters at the historic Aqueduct Building campus located at 50 East Broad Street in downtown Rochester, New York.
"It's been remarkable to watch Constellation Brands grow from a small Rochester-based winery to the international brand and Fortune 500 company that it is today", said Buffalo Bills EVP & Chief Operating Officer Pete Guelli. "We are looking forward to the opportunities that this partnership presents."
