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!

The loss of the Bills, too. If the Sabres leave, the NFL will think long and hard about having a team in Buffalo. If the Colts or Chargers don't move to LA, there will be pressure on the Bills to move there. Plus who knows what will happen when, God forbid, Ralph bites the big one and the team changes hands.
You are absolutely correct. It will give Buffalo the signature of being too small to support a professional franchise.
What really torques me off too, is whenever someone mentions bringing Major League Baseball here, immediately the local media squashes the idea. These guys are doing a great disservice when they do this.
I'd rather spend $100-200 on a sports event , than drop $200 at a casino.
I doubt the Bills will go anywhere, there is much more support for the Bills than the Sabres. Even last year, we managed to sell out some games, with one of the worst teams and smallest markets around.

I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
Don't discount perception as a political excuse. The Buffalo politicians aren't exactly a stellar group of shiny citizens. Just look at all they've done for the area over the last 20 years. Sometimes I think the only reason Buffalo still has a zoo is because the animals won't leave.
OK, I'm not going to get political. I'm done.
I dont think The Buffalo Bills are going anywhere. Especially L.A. there is to much of a hardcore fan base here and they sell out most of there games every year.
I totally disagree! I think it's the exact opposite. If the Buffalo Sabres leave, then the city will hold the Buffalo Bills here and put all the money into them to stay here forever. IF the Sabres leave, I think it's better for the Bills in the long term. When the people can't afford tickets to both events, they have to choose. If there is only one...I think more people would go to the bills games and spend money on the Bills. The way I think of it....
Let's say you have two glasses of water. One is the Sabres, one is the Bills. Fill them both up with water. That's the way it is now, the water (money) stays between the two glasses (teams),now...take both glasses and put the water into a bigger glass or a pitcher. That's what happens with the money if one team leaves. More support and more money into the one team. So, don't you think if the Sabres left, that it would be better for the Bills in a way? Personally, I don't think Buffalo or Western NY can support two Major League teams and really might have to choose. Bills or Sabres? I choose the Bills!
I wouldn't want Buffalo to become the next Green Bay, but I also don't see the Bills leaving because the Sabres left.
InTheBox--Ralph's daughter is next in line to own the team if he happens to kick the bucket. There is some speculation that she would sell the team, but who knows what her real plans are.
Buffalo is slowly dying Eb--but silly 'ole me is still contemplating moving back there!
