Would you find yourself attending more football games if you knew a local guy owned the team versus someone that lives out of state?

Would you find yourself attending more football games if you knew the team was really supported by the people wanting football versus subsidized by taxes?

Doesnt matter to me either way. Grew up watching the Bills, dont care if ralph owns them or me and you and the rest of speakup. I root for the team not the game. sad really.

Ralph Wilson is not your typical out of town investor. So he's kindof an honorary Buffalonian.

It doesn't matter who owns them to me as long so they stay here. If they leave, Ill be okay, but I'd prefer they stay. It makes the timeslot between 1pm and 4pm on Sundays from September to Janu.. er I mean December, more interesting.

I lost interest in professional football when the AFL merged with the NFL. Taxpayers should not subsidize NFL teams in any way, shape or form.

Rooting for the Bills is a family tradition; we all grew up listening and watching them, even back in their AFL heyday. I go to a couple of games a season, and if I lived closer to the Ralph, I might invest in season tix and go every game. I don't care who owns the team as long as they stay in WNY. If the Bills leave, then I will no longer follow or support the NFL. (I have not watched more than 2 or 3 minutes of any NBA game since the Braves left.)
