The whole fan ownership idea has been tossed around for years, but league rules will keep that from ever happening. This guys seems to have come up with an idea that could work if some formalities were addressed.
Here's his website: http://www.billsbonds.com/blog/
"That rules out this whole community ownership structure like in Green Bay," Brady said.
"So then I thought, rather than have the fans be owners, why not have them team up with an ownership group that is committed to keeping the Bills in Buffalo and lets them be lenders? It was a simple idea. I think fans would be interested in investing in the future of the team."
There are at least four hurdles to clear before the proposal can be implemented, Brady said. Fans must be willing to invest. A bank or other financial institution, preferably one with a major presence in Buffalo, must be willing to manage the transaction. And ownership must be willing to participate.
