Bills leave WNY
Bills stay in WNY - get new stadium
Bills stay in Orchard Park (No Change)
New York City does not have an NFL team. The only NFL team in New York State is the Bills. The two stadiums under negotiations to be built are Baseball stadiums, for the Yankees and the Mets. The Jets and the Giants are both New Jersey teams who play in the stadium erected in the swamplands as a memorial to deceased gang members.

The answer lies right in your own post.
Bills can leave Buffalo if they buy out their lease with Erie County for $20 million after this season.
Sounds to me Ralph is very much concerned about future profit and quite possibly the future profit for a family member? Maybe that's why he won't say anything about that.
like gonzo said, I don't think Ralph is concerned about current profit, I think he's concerned about the future.Originally Posted by concernedwnyer
He mentioned there is some strange clause in the new agreement where any team that is sold forfeits all shared profit. Once Ralph dies and his kids get the team, they will immediately try to sell it. But once it's sold it loses the shared profits, which would make it more difficult to stay here compared with moving to a bigger city. So whoever buys it will then move it.
That's my understanding of it anyway. If I misunderstood it - let me know what the real deal is.
Does that figure of Revenue above ($141 million) include shared revenue? Do they break down how much of that is from Shared?
