ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Sources told NBC Buffalo that at least one person connected to last month’s vandalism at the new Highmark Stadium is employed by or under contract with 34-Group.
The construction firm, 34-Group, is owned by Hall of Fame running back and Bills alum Thurman Thomas. It is one of several contractors working on the new stadium.
The company said it has “only heard hearsay and unsubstantiated claims” about its worker’s potential involvement.
Multiple suspects have been identified, but police have not released any information about them.
The vandalism caused $150,000 in damage to locker rooms and suites, halting work for days last month.
