When Ralph Wilson created the Buffalo Bills franchise, the population of Buffalo was twice what it is today. I would suspect that most of those who migrated to other parts of the world did so for economic reasons. Why would we be surprised by the current Bills owners doing the same' for the same reason' as our X-Buffalonians.
Don't get me wrong, I don't believe the tax payers should foot the entire bill for a new stadium. However, the Buffalo situation is unique in that a 1.4 million dollar football stadium is not a sound economic investment in WNY, no matter who pays for it. Building a new stadium for 1.4 mil in WNY is a "Lark" for the area' and viewing it's financing needs to be treated as such. I'm a "Buffalo" Bills Fan and want to have the franchise stay in Buffalo forever. Therefore I hoping that the Taxpayers of the State of NY, County of Erie, City of Buffalo don't drive the Bills away with this demeaning Billionaire playground rhetoric. I hoping they realize that they will probably have to contribute more than we've seen recently for a new football stadium. On the other hand, I hope the current owners and future owners of the Bills are satisfied with the returns on their investment in Buffalo, and are not looking to other parts of the country for better returns.
