VJ91 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I want somone to make a propsal on how we can keep the bills in buffalo.. Get some pro-active politicians and business people together, much like the "Business Backs The Bills" group of the late 90's. Work out a tax plan or fund raising plan to make some guarantees to Ralph Wilson now, and extend them to whoever ends up buying the Bills after Ralph dies. Number one: guarantee sell out revenue of every home game played. Number two: guarantee to pay all stadium related costs. Number three: guarantee zero cost to the Bills for the next 50 years on a new lease for RWS or any possible new stadium that gets built. Number four: guarantee to subsidize to the Bills up to the average ticket price of every team in the NFL. Number five: guarantee to subsidize to the Bills up to the average NFL team revenue of un-shared premium seats and luxury boxes. By guaranteeing that the Buffalo Bills will always earn at least as much as an average NFL team earns, every year for the next 50 years, is really the only way I can see any owner after Ralph even considering keeping the franchise in the Buffalo area. Who pays for all those subsidies and revenue guarantees? WE DO. Set up a "Bills Fan tax fund." Give every tax payer in New York State the option of contributing to the fund or not. Find out how many fans are willing to contribute, add up the total annual costs of subsidizing the Bills up to an average NFL team, and divide that cost by the number of fans. Sounds crazy and strange and impossible? Well so does the "Niagara Bills" kiss-up plan to Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
