    RUMOR (and I emphatically stress the word)

    Take it for what it's worth.

    Could Jim Kelly's financial group that he's been trying to put together include a major investor that is Native American, with the 'plan' involving building a new stadium on reservation property in or around Niagara Falls?

    Never going to happen. Especially if there is a casino involved. There's a reason there are no professional sports teams in Las Vegas.

        No. This would require cash investment and no american bank financing at any time. It's a funny thought but this type of project is not going to happen in a native american nation there is no US law and the NFL wouldnt allow it either.

          I am so sick of people saying "take it for what its worth." First off, anyone that has ever said that has been wrong. With all the rumors that have floated since last year, this phrase has really been around the block, and I think people with legit sources need to get together and come up with a new one.
          True fans want wins, not draft picks.

            i would be for moving the stadium to niag falls to attract more canadians, prolly won't happen on seneca land tho

            But the only thing that concerns me with a niag falls stadium is the traffic over the GI bridges would be a nightmare

              I think the whole idea is that it isn't a legit source.

                No legit source...never claimed to have any insider information.

                Heard this today, and threw it out to see if anybody else had heard anything similar.

                For all I know, it's a line of ****. I do know, however, (as well as probably every other poster on this board) that Kelly doesn't have the money himself, he needs a big-money investor, and that investor would have to have some kind of local ties to assure Kelly that the team would stay in the area.

                  Yeah and the could sell discount cigarettes and put slot machines in the stadium, may be on to something here. Degenerate gamblers, smokers, football = a perfect marriage.

                    So I can report this:

                    "YardRat reports that it is a done deal - the Seneca Nation is buying the Buffalo Bills!!!"

                      Please refer to me as your 'unnamed source', and not by name, in the future.

                      Unless I'm right, of course.

                          Can't. Packers were the last team to be able to do that.

                              That's two-way street. The amount of money that has been generated for local businesses probably far outweighs whatever profit will be realized from Ralph's original investment.
