A few weeks ago, we were trying to figure out the naming rights situation, and if they could do it since the stadium technically belongs to the county. I emailed Chris Brown about it and I just now got a reply. He was actually quite candid...
My question:
Chris Brown's reply:
So they can sell it, but RW's stance is that creating more money in a way such as this will just perpetuate the growth of the cap.
My question:
Is selling the naming rights even an option for the team even though they don't own the stadium?
Since Erie County technically owns it, wouldn't they be the ones to sell/profit from any revenue created by selling the rights to their stadium?
If it is possible for the team, have they looked into it at all?

The Bills would be able to pull in revenue from naming rights even though the stadium is county owned. Mr. Wilson's stance is that he doesn't believe it would be very lucrative in this market and secondly feels any revenues will only serve to drive up the salary cap further. You can make your own judgments on those arguments. That's probably not a good answer, but it's the best I can do.
