i live an hour away...used to live very close--in oakland. crappy facility. very rabid fans. however,in addition to the actual facility being crappy...3/4 of thei fan base has to go over bridges or thru tunnels just to get down to the ghetto to see them.
put a facility in a reasonable place and youd get the usual amount of california support for the team....ohhh..and yeah if the teams would actually contend..its been awhile although of course much more recent than the Bills.
I have to go over one bridge and thru a tunnel to get there...its a LONG hour.Aint like living in Buffalo where everything is 20 minutes away by freeway.
