Interesting SI article from 1969 (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1082018/1/index.htm) absolutely bashing Buffalo...
"Sitting there in Detroit (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/topic/article/Detroit/1900-01-01/2100-12-31/mdd/index.htm), Wilson (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/topic/article/Ralph_Wilson/1900-01-01/2100-12-31/mdd/index.htm) symbolized another Buffalo dilemma. "There are very few home-owned industries in Buffalo, and that causes a number of problems. It reduces the number of key local people who can rally big area businesses to the support of sports enterprises and it reduces the number of men who might be traveling around the country selling Buffalo on a national scale.""
He's still *****ing about that! Wow, 30 years really changes nothing.
"Exponents of a downtown location feel the new stadium would be a major component of a convention complex that would include hotels, restaurants and an exhibition hall."
How many times have we heard that about project x and project y!
