Now, they are coming back. The net population is declining by like 1% but that is old people dying off and now young people are starting families. This is all within the last decade. It isn’t all heading in the right direction.

The Bills will never be in jeopardy of moving. The fan base is extremely loyal as is the ownership. He paid $1.4B in cash for the team. He hasn’t asked for a dime. He just put $25M into the clubs of his own money. This isn’t typical ownership. The ownership mirrors the fan base. He isn’t a fan first. That doesn’t mean that he’s will revolutionize ownership. Most people agree that he isn’t terribly bright. He owned a bunch of land and they found oil. With that being said you won’t ever see a situation where the team moves. This wasn’t as much of a business investment as it was a civic investment. As he said when he bought the Sabres, “If I want to make money I’ll drill another well.” 

The offer stands though at 1,000 to 1.

Talking smack about cities is just plain stupid. Should keep it to on the field stuff on both sides.

Agreed, I wasn’t saying anything disparaging about any city. I’m looking forward to the trip tomorrow. I was simply responding/educating as to why the Bills aren’t in jeopardy of relocating. Frankly, I hope that y’all don’t move either. I hate seeing a team taken from their fan base. We had threats of it for 20 years prior to the sale. It’s not fun for anyone.

Florida; a state so crap, the Bills owner lives there.

It’s pretty obvious why a multi-billlionaire would chose to reside in Florida right?
