    The Pegulas were the best thing to happen to Buffalo as a whole. Not just for our pro sports teams, but for our whole community. As the documentary states, they are and understand Buffalo- its people, it's location, it's weather, the whole shebang. We all thank Terry and Kim from the bottom of our hearts and pray furiously for Kim and her recovery!! The Pegulas are Bills Mafia- Mafia means Family ❤

    Part 2:
    To those who want to take "pot shots" at Ralph Wilson, consider the following:
    Part 2:
    One of the provisions of the AFL-NFL Merger signed in 1966 MANDATED that, by 1970, every team in the league was REQUIRED either to be playing in a stadium facility that seated a MINIMUM of 50,000 fans -- OR AT LEAST the team(s) HAD to have a signed agreement in place whereby a NEW stadium seating at least 50,000 (or more) fans was under construction or whereby construction would soon begin. War Memorial Stadium HAD ALREADY BEEN EXPANDED MULTIPLE TIMES throughout the 1950s and 1960s -- first to provide a decently large facility to host pro football via the AFL Bills, and then as pro football became America's favorite sport over baseball and the Bills kept getting better (becoming a wildly popular fan attraction as the Bills eventually became back-to-back AFL Champions in 1964 amd 1965 [and almost three-peated in 1966]). By the time the various additions and expansions had been completed, War Memorial Stadium peaked at a 47,000 seating capacity by the mid-1960s (very large at the time -- larger than most AFL and many NFL venues up until the mid/late 1960s) ... BUT STILL SMALLER than the REQUIRED minimum 50,000 seats by 1970 (and smaller than the brand-new AFL & NFL stadiums just completed in the late 1960s and early 1970s (e.g., Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, San Diego Stadium/Jack Murphy Stadium, Shea Stadium, the Houston Astrodome, Riverfront Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium, Texas Stadium, Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, the Superdome, etc.). Other stadiums with smaller capacities than the necessary 50,000 seat minimum by 1970 (e.g., Denver's Bears/Mile High Stadium, RFK Stadium, Soldier Field, Civic Stadium/Lambeau Field, etc. simply opted to expand their stadiums. But the Bills no longer had that option at War Memorial Stadium -- for several reasons:
    a) the stadium was land-locked in the heart of the city and bordered by residential streets, homes, and a commercial street with businesses -- the stadium had NO MORE ROOM to expand, nor was there any additional safe ENGINEERING CAPABILITY to expand the stadium again without having the city exerting eminent domain to overtake trafficked streets and bulldoze dozens upon dozens of private homes in order to widen the base of the stadium outwards to support ever higher expanded decking;
    b) the stadium also had NO nearby surface parking lots or parking garages to speak of -- so most people had to take the city bus to the games or park on people's residential lawns for several bucks and then walk many blocks to the games and back again to their cars following the game in late afternoon darkness later in the season);
    c) War Memorial Stadium was in a bad part of the city -- late 1960s massive urban blight, high crime, etc. ... and by the late 1960s (coupled with the fact the Bills had become an old and bad team), fewer fans were willing to come to games later in the season in bad weather and with a bad team;
    d) the stadium was built on natural springs and an old city resevoir -- and the field became a lousy mudpit once the Fall rains started with frequency and the water table rose because it couldn't drain; and
    e) by the late 1960s, the entire stadium was "living on borrowed time" as it was ... It was built as a Depression Era "make work just to employ people" WPA Project in the early 1930s (with marginal quality concrete that was already crumbling, impure steel that was rusting, and wooden bleachers that were rotting -- all in a harsh outdoor norhern climate.
    In light of all those considerations, it was simply a BAD INVESTMENT and a PRAGMATICALLY UNWORKABLE "solution" to "throw so much good money after bad" that would be necessary simply to modwernize and expand a marginal quality built 40 year old stadium with a flooding field located in a bad, high-crime location within a declining city and withiut reasonable parking. Besides, given how popular football had become in Buffalo, Ralph Wilson didn;t envision only a "mere" 50,000 seat stadium -- he had his eyes set on a 70,000 - 80,000 seat stadium. Such a facility simply COULD NOT physically be built where War Memorial Stadium was located. The only viable solution -- also given the fact that TWO MORE original AFL teams (KC [Dallas Texans] and Boston) finally were building brand new stadiums in their respective suburbs -- was to build a NEW stadium for the Bills out in the suburbs where there was plenty of room for a large enough stadium with plenty of parking and where city traffic would not cause problems. Unfortunately, the local, county, and stste politicians didn't want to help advance the obvious necessary solution where Ralph Wilson's hands were tied. Seattle desperately wanted an NFL franchise and was committed to building a modern new stadium (which eventually became the Kingdome) -- so after political resistance and impasse, ralph threatened to move the Bills to Seattle. Since it was a viable threat, the solution was finally agreed upon. Wheher or not Ralph Wilson would have really moved the team, I don't know -- he had grown attached to Buffalo and "DIDN'T WANT" to move, BUT he also was definitely "under the gun" by the NFL owners and had to do something (UNLESS the owners would exempt Buffalo from the mandatory minimum 50,000 seat stadium requirement -- not likely, especially with many other cities lining up for NFL teams ... Seattle, Tampa, Memphis, to name just a few). Thankfully it all worked out -- and Ralph Wilson proved his loyalty to Buffalo and WNY taxpayers MANY times over during his ownership.
    4. Finally, even in death, Ralph Wilson did Buffalo a "solid." Although I believe the Pegula bid was the "highest" offered (???), Ralph Wilson's widow Mary KNEW that Ralph was committed to keeoing the Biulls in Buffalo ifat all possible and if the bids were close. Mary Wilson was prepared to honor what she knew to be Ralph's wishes, and was prepared to accept a slightly lesser bid IF the offeror committed to keeping the Bills in Buffalo/WNY for at least "x" years -- which of course the Pegulas were. That was at least an "unspoken condition" of the sale (if not a spoken one) ... and that was ultimately Ralph's doing while he was still alive to make his intgentions known to those who woiuld have to execute and implement it. Then, after aligning things for the Bills to remain in Buffalo, Ralph Wilson set up his will and charitible foundation trust to REDISTRIBUTE ALL of the sale proceeds $$$$ back into the Buffalo/WNY community (and to a lesser extent, also some into his original hometown Detroit community).
    ALL of the above is the very definition of a GREAT owner IMO.

      @wingedbuffalo4670 Месяц назад

      I WISH that the Bills and "corporate America" would have the decency and humility to back away from all the "naming rights" and "money chasing $$$" andsimply name the new stadium "War Memorial Stadium" as well. The NFL has its annual league-wide "Salute to Service" and we as a Nation seemingly always like to parrot the slogans like "support the troops," etc. -- but there would be no greater thing the Bills could do to "put their money where their mouth is" on this regard than to honor those service members who paidthe ultimate sacrificial price for our freedoms than to call the new place "War Memorial Stadium" again. Or perhaps even embrace current and living former service members IN ADDITION as well (i.e., NOT in lieu of) by naming the new stadium "Veterans and War Memorial Stadium" OR "Veterans Memorial Stadium." That would be a "tip of the cap" both to the old Rock Pile as well as the old Aud (Memorial Auditorium). And IF the Pegulas/Bills still "want" to make "corporate $$$" off of any signage/naming rights, they can still do it WITHOUT selling the name of the STADIUM itself ... for example, call it "Highmark Field" at War Memorial Stadium (and when it comes time for a new naming rights agreement, the naming rights will be ONLY for the field, NOT the STADIUM). That way the corporation/company/business will still get its name advertised (advertising "money's worth") on TV and National TV without ruining the dignified name of the stadium for those who have served and died. Several future "naming rights" contracts in addition to "Highmark Field" at War Memorial Stadium (or at Veterans and War Memorial Stadium):
      a) Delaware North Field at ...
      b) Rich Products Field at ...
      c) Wegmans Field at ...
      d) Dunn Tire Field at ...
      e) Tesla Field at ...
      f) National Fuel Field at ...
      g) If various large Canadian corporations/businesses wish to advertise in the major NFL market throughout the U.S., here are a few possibilities:
      (1) TD Bank Field at ...
      (2) ScotiaBank Field at ...
      (3) Labatt's Field at ...
      (4) Molson's Field at ...
      (5) Tim Hortons Field at ...
      (6) Rodgers Communications Field at ...
      h) Etc., etc. ...
