I live in Hawaii and am a certified member of the Bills Mafia and stream every game with
a private Facebook group while we comment, cheer and say words you never heard in the Bible.

Back in the early 1960’s when I lived in Buffalo my father had season tickets to
the Buffalo Bills. As a lad, I remember going to the games at the old War memorial stadium and watching Jack Kemp! When Rich stadium opened in Orchard Park I had the privilege to watch OJ.

I left Buffalo in 1976, however, Buffalo and the Bills have never left me. The one thing I don’t understand as a former Buffalonian and now as an outsider
looking in is building a new stadium in a cold weather climate with one of the worst weather conditions in the NFL and not having a dome. The other thing that is mind-boggling is building a new stadium with 10,000 fewer seats when the NFL is more popular than ever and our franchised quarterback is now the face and talk of the NFL.

A domed stadium could have
multiple uses year-round. I know the argument of finances but remember it takes money to make money, just ask Jerry Jones owner of the most financially successful NFL franchise in history, the Dallas Cowboys.

To not build a domed stadium and to have 10,000 fewer seats with Josh Allen and the Bills being the talk of the NFL is ludicrous.
All I can say is what are the city planners and politicians smoking?
If I lived in Buffalo
I would be organizing protests against this insanity. Maybe Josh Allen and some of the multi-millionaire players can help the cause of the dome and more seats with generous donations? These could probably be tax deductible.

Otherwise, it looks like
Buffalo may remain the laughingstock of the NFL. I don’t want that, I don’t believe you want that, it’s not too late.

Call your Senators, Congressman, Mayor, City Council members, and Governor to tell them to quit smoking that whacky tobacky (sic)!
