Just about everybody with even a passing interest in the Buffalo Bills has an opinion about the Bills future in Buffalo, and I’m sure hearing a lot more pessimism about it than ever as Ralph C. Wilson approaches his 90th birthday. The pessimism is warranted, although it is tempered somewhat by the cash cow the Bills are now milking in Toronto.
All the points about why the Bills will eventually leave are well documented; the area’s declining population, the economy, Ralph’s age, the huge debt that will be incurred by any new owner, and so on and so forth.
We’ve also heard Ralph say a new stadium wouldn’t make all that much difference, because he must keep the tickets relatively affordable in order for fans in the Buffalo area to keep buying them..................
