 Brown Says Buffalo Can Survive Without Bills  
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.

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.)

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.
