To call something an "Eighth Wonder" is to play off the "Seven Wonders" list that date back to the 19th century. Kind of like calling fans "the 12th man."

 

Personally I think Kelly is talking out his butt when he talks about putting an ownership group together to buy the Bills. I hope I'm wrong but I don't believe he knows enough wealthy people to do it, and Jimbo doesn't exactly possess the business acumen to operate a billion-dollar-plus enterprise like an NFL team, much less a downtown nightclub and restaurant.

 

However I think Jim is spot-on about putting a new Bills stadium in Niagara Falls. It's a no-brainer. The NFL is all about glitz and entertainment these days. Look at Patriot* Place in Foxboro. If you can build an entertainment complex around a stadium you can make game days into a bigger (read: money-making) event. And when you add a natural wonder like the Falls, not to mention the Canadian side attractions, and the fact that you are 30 miles closer to Toronto, that's a powerful combination. You build it and I guarantee the Falls hosts a Super Bowl (assuming it's a dome, that is.)

Don't get to Niagara Falls much, but didn't they have an Air Force Reserve Base that was slated to close? As I remember the base has miles and miles of concrete tarmacs that could provide the basis for parking if they turned it into a Sports Stadium?

I think he meant "eighth wonder of the world," as that phrase is typically used.

I disagree. I believe the Eighth Wonder of the World is Mel Kiper's hair and its gravity-defying powers.
