Kim Pegula Makes Rare On-Field Appearance Since 2022 Cardiac Arrest

Her visit to Highmark Stadium marks a visible milestone in recovery for a co-owner who helped plan the new venue.

Overview

  • Kim Pegula attended the Buffalo Bills’ public practice at the new Highmark Stadium on Saturday, walking with husband Terry Pegula and posing for family photos on the field.
  • She suffered a cardiac arrest in June 2022 that caused a brain injury and continues to live with significant expressive aphasia and memory issues, family accounts say.
  • Jessica Pegula has reported that sister Kelly gave life-saving CPR when Kim collapsed, and the family has described Kim’s ongoing therapy and limited public outings.
  • Kim remains listed as a co-owner of the Bills and Sabres and played a role in planning the roughly $2.2 billion stadium, a fact Terry Pegula acknowledged at the venue’s ribbon-cutting in June.
  • The rare on-field appearance updates years of limited visibility and serves as a public, family-supported signal of continuity for the franchise while highlighting the human impact of long-term recovery.
