The statement emphasized, “We paused work to ensure the jobsite remains a space of respect and professionalism for everyone involved. When these standards are breached, we take action to reset expectations, as this reflects our core values and operational integrity.”

“At Gilbane | Turner, we uphold a zero-tolerance policy towards graffiti, vandalism, or any conduct that disrupts the respectful and supportive environment we strive for in our projects. We are grateful for the robust support from our trade contractors, unions, local officials, law enforcement, and onsite workers as we seek to find those accountable for this unacceptable behavior. The collective response reaffirms our belief that the vast majority involved in this project are dedicated to fostering a positive and professional workplace.”

According to WKBW, the graffiti was discovered in several secured sections of both completed and ongoing areas of the stadium. The project, which carries a price tag of approximately $2.1 billion, is set to be ready for the 2026 season kickoff.

Poloncarz suspected that the crime was committed by someone with access to the construction site.

The Bills officially closed the old Highmark Stadium in early January with their Week 18 victory against the Jets, and just across the street — in the shadow of the venue that served as the setting for their runs to four consecutive Super Bowls in the 1990s and their recent string of playoff appearances with Josh Allen as quarterback — was nearing completion.

It’s around 87 percent complete, according to local radio station WBEN.

It is expected to open in July.
