Buffalo as a city has been struggling economically. Still, they have a loyal fan base and a decent stadium. Unfortunately, their team doesn't seem to be headed in the right direction - success cures what ills pretty quickly.
FreeTedWilliams said:Hey Ralph, how bout starting with selling the naming rights to "Ralph Wilson Stadium" to some corporation for a few million a year? It must stick in Kraft's craw, to hand money over to guys like Wilson and Brown who underutilize the money streams available to them.
Granted Buffalo is not the economic mecca of the world, but the fans have and will always fill he stadium. The Bills would be in a lot better shape if they had better football people running the show. They did have a great franchise in the early nineties, what happened to all that money? Obviously it was not re-invested into the team, (unlike what Bob "please buy the Bruins" Kraft) has done.
I have alot of frineds in Buffalo and spent a few years in upstate NY, and I would hate to see the Bills leave Buffalo. Maybe Wilson could sell the team to Chris Berman?

Murphys95 said:Yes, 4 consecutive years in fact. Frankly, it's my favorite stadium I've been to. I'm a fan of the older, less glitzy venues. Also, the tailgate environment is what Foxboro used to be like (which is to say pretty decent).
...plus it doesn't take 15 minutes to get up to the upper deck.

But hey, I can muster a little sympathy for die hard Bills fans. Remember we had Orthwein looking to move the Pats to St. Louis before Kraft came riding out of the sunset to save the day.
