There has been much talk of the Buffalo Bills moving out of the city, one thought was Vegas a few years ago. If the Bills leave Buffalo, you can just close the city down completely.
Yes if the Bills leave this city will be another Watertown. They are making every effort to keep that from happening but we will see what happens when Ralph Wilson dies. The Sabres are still here but that won't be enough.

Great area to raise kids and their are plenty of things to do in the surrounding areas. Short of that the city is hurting.
