stinky finger Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Buffagra sounds like Viagra plus roids wrapped into one! sweet! Indeed. Imagine the uprising that would occur.
Ray Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Move the stadium to Niagara Falls but still call them Buffalo Bills........still makes it easy to get to the games for everyone. Easier for the Canadians but keeps the history of the franchise as well. Rochester folk will come regardless if in OP or NF as will Buffalo.
May Day 10 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 the grand island bridges would be miserable. and what about the awful smell of Niagara Falls?
stinky finger Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 how do we keep the team here Against their will.
VJ91 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2009/02/01/3954875.htm I like the idea but... Niagara Bills = No more shout song Screw that Last I checked, Niagara County is still in New York State. Who is going to pay for this Super Bowl worthy state of the art domed stadium? Apparently this guy's plan is to get the thing built while Ralph is alive, and to get him to agree to play up to 4 home games a season in Toronto as the new stadium is being built. Then, if Wilson is still alive, he is expected to simply move the team to Niagara Falls and allow their name to be changed. Why would Ralph Wilson even consider doing this, when he has told everyone the Bills will remain in Orchard Park and be called Buffalo until he dies? So now this becomes even stranger. Who would pay for a domed stadium with no guarantee a new owner would even decide to keep the team here?

The guy's an idiot...for one, losing 1 game a season is too much...4 games is beyond reason...especially when the Ralph is great as it is. Then you have the name change garbage...they don't call the Giants and the Jets the East Rutherford Giants and Jets...we give those teams a lot of grief for playing in NJ, but they are named for the major metropolis they play closest to...this guy wants to name the Bills after a river or county? And yeah, Niagara County is in NY State but it's still in a different county. Does this moron really think Erie County will give up the team without a fight?
8-8 Forever? Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 A stadium in Niagara Falls is a not a bad idea and Kelly has already mentioned thats where he would like it, but leave the name alone! It needs to stay Buffalo Bills, besides Niagara Bills just sounds bad people. there will never be a new stadium built in WNY. there are no $$$ to build and no corporate suite revenues to support it. Its the Ralph or nothing unless the state or some rich guy makes a bad business decision and builds it out of charity. Not a lot charity going around these days and rich guys don't make bad business decisions to be charitible... Kelly is dreaming..
Hammered a Lot Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 The guy's an idiot... If you say that a thousand times, it just rolls off your tongue!
The_Philster Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 If you say that a thousand times, it just rolls off your tongue! I think I've said it about a thousand times since I first heard about it...
Trader Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 OK let me be the 1st to give it a try..."LETS GO NIAGARA"! Nope sounds like shiite! Could be fun you build a waterfall in the stadium and every time the bills score the mascot gets in the Barrell and goes over the Falls - Fans go wild!.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Could be fun you build a waterfall in the stadium and every time the bills score the mascot gets in the Barrell and goes over the Falls - Fans go wild!. That's effin hilarious. That would beat Tampa Bay's pirate ship for sure! When we play the fish we could send a dolphin over the falls and watch it explode in a bloody mess on the rocks! Crap, the possibilities are endless!
ChasBB Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Well, if they move, they've got to change the name from the Bills to something else. Bills *ONLY* goes with Buffalo -- anything else just wouldn't make sense.

We could start with Joey Porter. Maybe we could toss the big Tuna, himself, over the falls. I'd hate to harm a REAL dolphin.
BobbyC81 Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Well, if they move, they've got to change the name from the Bills to something else. Bills *ONLY* goes with Buffalo -- anything else just wouldn't make sense. You mean like the LA Lakers and the Utah Jazz?? Been done before and can be done again. Buffalo or Erie County could go to court to preserve the name as the Cleveland area did with the 'Browns' name when Modell moved his team to Baltimore. They changed the name to the Ravens but I wonder if they would've changed it anyways. Baltimore Browns?

a player to be named later Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 The fact that this is being discussed on tax payer time is crazy. The city of Niagara Falls cannot attract one single national tenant into the city. How does it expect to replace an NFL stadium? Where does the money come from to do this? The small cut of profits that we get from the casino? I don't think so. Maybe time should be spend on developing a NFL hall of Fame Annex (ala Rock Hall of Fame annex in NYC) That would never happen, but at least it is affordable.
