SF Bills Fan Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Actually probably not. If history repeats itself, once the team actually leaves, the city then will turn around and give some new team exactly what their old team that just left had wanted all along. See Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, and even St Louis. Â The NFL will never go back to St. Louis after losing both Cardinals and Rams. Rams never should have left LA anyway.

buffalobillsfootball Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Heartbreaking news for St Louis Rams fans... my heart goes out to them. Â I have followed this issue for years. We all knew sooner or later the NFL would send a team back to LA. Â Just surreal that its finally happening. History in the making. Â I am thankful for the Pegula's and their commitment to WNY. I sincerely hope the political leadership from Albany to Erie County are working together now to partner with the Pegula's in their plan for a refurbished or new stadium.

Perk71 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Rams and Chargers to Inglewood - book it. Â I like this - I go to CA a few times a year and I think it'd be great to see a LA Chargers v Buffalo Bills game in a brand new, CA stadium! I live in SoCal so I'll be there for sure. I feel for St. Louis, but happy that I can go to see the Bills here at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Probably right, but my point was more that these cities want to play hard ball and tell the owner, "No we're not giving you a sweetheart deal" but the then once the team leaves they backtrack and give the next guy the same sweetheart deal. Not saying the cities should cave, but if you ended up caving anyway, why not same everyone time and money \and do what you're goign to eventually do anyway.

zonabb Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) NFL sucks and Kreonke is a scumbag pure and simple. Imagine a hometown owner worth $6B moving the Bills after years of subsidizing his operations and profit because they refused. This is a guy who could have built 5 stadiums and him, the NFL and now Pegula feel like its the community's obligation to take on the investment necessary for an NFL team to maximize its profits without sharing it. The state of corporate welfare in the country is an embarrassment. Â Pegula can F off. He basically just confirmed he's going belly up to the corporate welfare trough she the current lease it. Rethinking me season tickets for next year,might be time to walk away. And I hate the Jills but fightng thier lawsuit makes them look like aholes. The shine has worn off the Pegulas, we're seeing the true owners, actions speak louder than words. Â And one more thing, this whole process is drivn by greed. Imagine if every policy or law your local politicians voted for put more money in their pockets. How could you expect the decisions to be based on what's best for all? That's these owners, voting on a move that comes with potential $550m relocation fee. Who would vote no when they stand to make $40+ million by simply saying yes. Â It's disgusting and embarrassing that Terry Paygula voted for this. He's o longer a savior, he's just another investor.

Â And as fans of a team that was constantly involved in relocation rumors to LA and Toronto for years... it just makes me sick. What if this was Bon Jovi and the Bills? Â The (slight) thing that makes me feel better is that St. Louis "stole" them from LA in 1994. Granted, they came from Cleveland... but that was a LONG time ago.
