The Buffalo Bills have paid tribute to the late, great Tim Russert ’68 in the new Highmark Stadium.
Russert’s name is on a banner with two other big-time boosters of the Bills from the media – ESPN legend Chris Berman and longtime CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer – that is part of a display in the upper concourse.
