When a new stadium rises from years of anticipation and billions of dollars, the first voices to fill the air are rarely the most representative ones. The Buffalo Bills' Highmark Stadium has opened to a chorus of online complaint and quiet personal praise — a familiar tension between the loudness of dissatisfaction and the silence of contentment. Former quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, drawing on the testimony of those he trusts rather than the scroll of social media, offers a reminder that the experience of a place is often larger than its loudest critics suggest.
