    Jim Kelly proposes future Bills stadium in Niagara Falls

    I know many peopl ehere love the idea as part owner in the BIlls and keepin ghte Bills in buffalo. However Jim is flirtin gwith th eidea of the Bills next stadium to be buil tin niagara falls.

    His reasoning.. It owul dbe a 45 minute less of drive for Torontonians.

    http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/N...47751-sun.html


    "I think it would make sense," said Kelly, who joined ex-Bills Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Steve Tasker and Oakville native Steve Christie at a well-attended kickoff rally at Dundas Square last night. "I've done my homework. By putting a stadium there, it would be 45 minutes closer for Canadians coming to games than it is to go to Orchard Park right now."
    So how do you love your blue eyed son now !!!

    Personally i think its a decent idea. The one thing you see on TV when the Bill are playing primetime is Niagara Falls. Rarelly do they spend anytime showing Buffalo, and for good reason, not much to show off.

    Also with the embracing of Rochester and central NY as well as Toronto, it moves the travel distance a bit closer for these other regions. I know it screws up travel plans from many others, but the idea is definitely one that is going to help keep the Bills in the area... Even Jimbo knows changes must be made.

    As long as I'm involved, the team will stay where it is," Kelly said. "But the bottom line is, it will come down to the power of the bank account. Whoever the next owner of the team is will have control.

    "I will say this. I've already been contacted by a number of people who said they would pay anything to keep the team in Buffalo." Given the recent air of gloom and doom lingering over tonight's Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers exhibition contest at the Rogers Centre concerning a perceived lack of interest and inflated ticket prices, the rally last night was a rousing success, with hundreds of enthusiastic fans attending.

    OK I had to chime in here. Niagara Falls Canada? Or Niagara falls US?

    If it is Niagara falls Canada it would be idiotic.

      I have no problem with Toronto fans- the more the merrier. I only have a problem with them when they try to take our team to their side of the border. If putting the Bills 45 min closer to Toronto attracts more fans and allows the team to remain in Buffalo, so be it.

      BTW, a lot of people want a downtown stadium, but I don't think that's a good idea. Being in the boonies makes the tailgating better. The Redskins stadium isn't even near downtown but it's in an overdeveloped area and it ruins the atmosphere.

          I actually heard this on WGR this morning. It would be Niagara Falls, USA.

            dude I think he meant putting it on the American side- ie right over the border. Once you cross the bridge it does take almost 45 min to drive to OP, more in gameday traffic.

              Kelly obviously doesn't know how the traffic is at the QEW. A dead Squirrel adds another 1hr. for our neighboring rubber neckers.

                  I don't think he is talking about Niagara Falls, Canada.

                  (BTW the link is broken)

                          If it were still in the US I wouldn't like it but would deal with it to save the team. I would not cross boarders though.

                              agreed- making all the Buffalo fans deal with the border hassle would just be stupid.
