The reason the packers atrium thing is a YEAR ROUND success is because it is attractive to non-packer fans...largely the same reason that Wrigley and Fenway have such an attraction even to non-cubs and non-sox fans. It's about the history of THE GAME, not one franchise.
Nobody but bills fans is going to give a crap about Ralph Wilson Stadium. Take off your fan goggles, guys. Let's be honest, even amongst Bills fans who's going to drive out to Orchard Park in the off-season to buy Tchotchkes from the team store and look at a fancy atrium and an empty stadium more than once? Maybe people who already live out there? I know I sure wouldn't.
And for the record, every team has the right to celebrate their history, but its a joke to think that every team or most teams should spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a temple to their mediocrity next to their stadium. Most teams are historically mediocre, by definition. The Bills are one of them.
Exactly. Maybe if the stadium was downtown it would have some ability to attract some visitors in the offseason. In Orchard Park, no one outside of Bills fans would go there, and even then you'd get very few.

Has anyone heard of a team being relocated that had a solid fan base?? The supersonics maybe? I dont really know why that happened though ill have to do some research but I dont see a team that sells out its stadium moving.. wouldnt they raise prices first?
All NFL team moves in the last 30 years have been due to aging inadequate facilities.
Regarding other sports, the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg was a result of lack of fan support. If the NHL lets the Phoenix Coyotes move it will be due to lack of support also. Even though the Sonics played in a facility that had been renovated recently (1995), by 2008 it was considered inadequate for the NBA and the Sonics moved to OKC.

Of course the all-time great Kent Hull story is that he signed with the Bills the same day Jim Kelly did. Jim was picked up at the airport by a limo and had a police escort. Kent followed in the back of an equipment van.
RIP Kent.

Maybin turned off 2 different coaching staffs while in Buffalo, plus the Stache got a look at him in training camp.

All the Toronto games are sellouts. Rogers bought the games from Ralph and can sell the tickets at whatever price they think they can get for them. Ralph got the money for all the games up front; no blackouts, regardless of how many seats are empty.

Funny how there are so many similarities, yet you fail to mention even one.

1. Terrible quality.
2. The Sabres are in fact... Blue and Gold. Here is a better song: youtube.com/watch?v=Eat3UtZTzJM
Of all the adjectives I could use to describe that song, "better" isn't one of them.

I don't see how merging two lesser conferences makes the "super conference" any more worthy of consideration as being elite.
Regarding UB, the new president does not share the same commitment to athletics that the previous one did. Given the fact they would have to double their current athletic budget (at the very least), there is zero chance of UB upgrading to a better conference anytime soon.

The Bickering Bills was pretty much only for one season, 1989, when the team went 9-7.

We'll see how the Jets handle this adversity over the next few weeks - they don't seem to be doing too well so far.
That said, i don't blame Mason. He has been running on fumes for a couple years. I can't believe he's still playing after Balt coaxed him out of retirement seasons ago.
Had over 1000 yds each season from 2007-09. Last year had 61 catches for 802 yds and 7 tds. Not bad for a guy who's gonna be 38 in January.

Since when are warm and sunny and wind mutually exclusive?
When the weather this Sunday looks to be a carbon copy of the last 2 home games. In Bucky's mind, Orchard Park + October = Winter conditions.

We need Patrick Moran on this, stat!

Down the page Bucky talks about how the Eagles kicker might have trouble this week with the "swirling winds in Buffalo."
Dear Bucky,
Sunday's weather looks to be somewhere around 76-80° and sunny.

Haven't we been playing this game for the last 10 years?

who cares...
Exactly. Move on.

1. Green Bay Packers-have a "G" for Green Bay not Packers or Wisconsin
2. Baltimore Ravens-have a "B" inside the Raven's head for Baltimore
3. Kansas City Chiefs have a "KC" on their helmets for Kansas City
4. Chicago Bears have a "C" on their helmet for Chicago
Obviously he was talking about symbols on the helmets, not initials. Plus you left off San Fran and NY Giants.

The Bills is the only NFL logo that has the City name represented and not the team name. What is a "Bill" anyway?
The Saints' fleur-de-lis represents the city of New Orleans, and the Cowboys' star represents the state of Texas.

Look, if you are out there contemplating dropping $500+ on a season ticket at RWS, or even buying a single game seat, you should really ask around and do a bit of research beforehand if you are going to get bent out of shape about people standing in front of you.
Do research to find out if you're in a "standing zone"? Hilarious.

Stay classy, Bills Fans!

Stand after they score, stand after a big play, stand at halftime. When the ball is in play, have a seat. You can be just as loud sitting down as standing.
Having said that, I was at the comeback game, and I stood (as did pretty much everyone else) for the majority of the second half.

How can one argue with such a thoughtful response?
