Bills will be staying put.
For some time now people many people have been guessing which National Football League franchise will move to Los Angeles, California. However, the Buffalo Bills will not be one of the teams that will move there.
The Bills is one of the teams that many people think will move to LA, because of their lease expiring in less than a decade. The thing is that at anytime the Bills want a new stadium they could get one. However, that is not the reason why they are not moving.
First, off the Bills are in a much better position in their market, regarding their financial situation. The Bills get money from the Erie County each year to maintain the stadium. Also, with the water front project an ongoing project the Bills would easily get millions from the state an county levels to build the stadium downtown.
Secondly, the Bills is the life blood of Buffalo, and a major part of the history of the NFL. Letting the Bills move would be a major public relations disaster. The franchise is tied into not only the western New York community, but the southern Ontario Canada community as well. Letting the Bills move to Canada would be horrible for relations between the two contries for many years to come.
Finally, there are two other teams in much dire straights than the Bills. Minnesota Vikings owner Ziggy Wilf backed out of a deal to but land from the Minnesota Star Tribune, according to the Star Tribune. Also, the Jacksonville Jaguars are endanger of not even selling out their home opener.
The Vikings are in a really bad situation. The team is in need of a new stadium, and are losing millions without a new stadium as time keeps passing. With the bridge collapse in Minnesota it would be nearly impossible for the Vikings to get any state funding. Afterall the state has a far bigger worry in the bridge accident that has taken peoples lives. Asking for money now would be making them look like the devil.
The Jaguars are a team that is in a horrible market. Many people do not really care for the team down there. One time before the team covered up ten thousand seats to make sure that a game was a sellout. Now they are endanger of not even selling out their home opener.
How the hell do youn run the risk of not selling out your home openor Every teams sells out their home opener. If you cannot even do that then it is time to move.
So, do not worry folks the Bills will be around a long time.
