All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WIVB) - Could the Buffalo Bills continue to grow their fan base and secure their future in western New York by moving north to Niagara County?
A grassroots campaign is underway to keep the franchise in the region by relocating the team to Niagara County and changing the team's name to the Niagara Bills.
A stadium in Niagara County wouldn't necessarily be a problem. It's not that much farther from downtown than the current stadium.
But the Niagara Bills? These people are idiots for even suggesting the name change. A lot of people want a new stadium so they could have garnered support, but no one is going to go for the name change.
All a new stadium does is ensure that ticket prices will double. There is nothing wrong with the Ralph and yes i have been there many times. People want to be coddled when they goto games now. Well i like the Ralph and i am against a new stadium at this point in time.

"grassroots effort" means "some people who got disenfranchised and want to pretend they can do something about it. it'll get press for 3 days and then die. and years later you'll see that guy in a bar. 'we're you the one that wanted that niagara bills plan?' then you leave"
i wouldn't be against the development of Niagara falls. i've thought that that is the key to reviving buffalo. The two cities have to stop competing with each other and start helping each other.

at this point I wouldnt even freak out about the team moving there but they must remain the Buffalo Bills.
i wouldn't think it's a big deal to go to Niagara falls. the name should remain the same. i thought kelly had mentioned an idea of a stadium in Niagara.
If Niagara falls could get a stadium, build a few more hotels and start to develop the falls into an attraction as opposed to simply a summertime holiday, the town would be in good shape tourist wise. if they could grow for 5 years with tourist growth, a nice indoor stadium could make hosting a superbowl less ridiculous than it sounds now.
however, with the economic mess of NYS, i don't see where you are getting financing. and even good companies are having trouble getting credit.
Let's compromise. The Buffalo-Niagara Bills sounds fine to me.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
