A guy i know who's a huge Bills fan, and knows everything about them said the owner doesn't necisarily wanna stay, but he will stay. Idk though.
i tihnk that 2 teams in NY state is enough, and buffalo is a crappy city anyways (too cold, windy, and nothing to do)
Atlantic City. Basically the same as Vegas but it's on the East coast on they don't have to change divisions.
UpState Ny and Atlantic City is pretty close. They wont make more money there. Vegas and LA are the best places.

A really crazy idea would be Mexico.When Zona played there, the crowd was packed. Plus we'd be introducing football to them where soccer and baseball are dominant.Or maybe, Toronto or Vancouver in Canada. Going international.Football needs to grow outside the U.S.But, in the US, Oklahoma City is definately a pretty good market. LA would be ideal but too many teams in Cali. Vegas would be perfect I think, the market is huge, money flows everywhere, and of course "whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Salt Lake City might work. Portland could work but they already have trouble with an NBA team.
I disagree chang. I don't think we need to make football more national. Football is basically America sportswise, and I think we should keep it that way.
I dunno, every other major US sport is basically international. Basketball and baseball are vastly international games. I guess you can consider rugby a type of football but besides that, football is domesticated.Then again, it would be extremely embarrassing to us if we were beat internationally at yet another sport. lol Basketball failed at the Olympics and baseball failed at the World Baseball Classic.

There are lots of football fans here, and like I said in the LA relocation post......Canada would be a great market. It's nearby too....[/quote]The problem with Canada is it then causes a potential conflict with the CFL IMO.[/quote]The problem with Canada is that it's Canada. They have insanely higher income taxes and it's hard to convince a football player to come play in cold weather and have a lot more of your money taken out of your check every year.[/quote]That too^[/quote]Plus then visas, passports, customs, all the stuff that comes with international travel
Toronto Raptors opponents do it 41 games a season.Teams can't do it for 8 games?And I'm think unless they become legal citizens and resident of Canada, they pay U.S. taxes.

I think they're there on work visas
They are never gonna put a team in a place where there will be no revenue so i think north dakota and oklahoma city are out and i believe that it is gonna be LA because they are thinking about putting a new stadium right by angels stadium
Exactly, wherever they go (if they go) it's not gonna be in the middle of nowhere, its gonna be where a LOT of people live and wanna see some football and crave dropping bills on tickets and merchandise, AKA a big city
LA is the 2nd-biggest market in the US, and they don't have an NFL team. They will get one before anyone else

My Father is a Nuclear Safety Engineer and does a lot of work in Toronto. His pay is double taxed when he gets paid by the Power Plants in Canada, once by the Canadians and once by the Americans.
