Apr 10, 2006 - The Mayor of Buffalo is now weighing in on the future of the Buffalo Bills. This comes one day after Bills owner Ralph Wilson said he can’t guarantee the team will stay in Western New York.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown says he will offer his assistance to the Bills anyway he can. Brown does not want to see the team go, but did say Buffalo would survive if the team picked up and left. Wilson believes the new NFL collective bargaining agreement will hamper small market teams and jeopardizes the long term viability of the Bills in Western New York.

Brown has a vision for a new downtown stadium, but wouldn’t elaborate if that would come to life soon or help the Bills stay in the area.

This city would go down the shitter even more than it already has.

Survive yes, but what will people get motivated about in the winter? And don’t say the Sabres.

Of course buffalo will survive, but its going to lose a shitload of money. Fucking jackass, i hatw that union loving jackass.

One of the few things that keeps Buffalo in the national spotlight (aside from being on the Weather Channel from January thru April), is the Bills and to a much smaller extent, the Sabres.

While it is important to try to retain the Bills, unless the economy does a complete 180, there is no way fiscally that the Bills can stay (with this new CBA.)

:word:

did the NFL release the qualifiers yet? I was in pittsburgh this weekend, didn’t catch the radio.

gallisano should buy them and move the stadium to the waterfront

8

haha… I talked to some guy(here in Boston) that has been to buffalo one time and he said that Buffalo is the only city that they put the ghetto on the waterfront :lol:

I was listening to the radio on the way home and some caller said a golisano/danny wegman/bob rich buying group

10

maybe we need a “natural” disaster and order a “Mandatory evacuation” so we can rebuild the city the right way…

11

the sabres

12

The Bandits dude… The Bandits. We have 3 Championship titles! Nah… move the Bills to Buffalo where the should’ve been in the first place. GO BILLS!

13

Bills 72 - Patriots 0 ----> go Bills

14

I’ll kill Wilson if he moves the bills

15

seriously, its buffalo, the bills mascot is a buffalo, how could you move them?

16

change the name? baltimore ravens anyone?

17

They aren’t going anywhere. There are to many politicians and people with $$$ in the area that wouldn’t let it happen. It would cripple the area.

18

:lol: a stadium downtown…what a fuckin joke…

19

they should put the new stadium downtown next to bass pro shops, right by the twin span bridges.

serriously though, if they move the bills, OOOOOOOOO SHIT IS THERE GONNA BE RIOTS!!! burning cars, the whole 9 yards (no punn intended).
