Buffalo Bills officials said today they have made no inquiries or plans to study the building of a new stadium. The question of a new stadium for Buffalo was raised in an article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. An executive of the firm that designed the new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys was asked about his company's prospects for future stadium construction. Mark Williams, associate principal architect for HKS Inc. stated: "We've been working with the [Minnesota] Vikings for about nine months, and they are still trying to get their funding. The [San Francisco] 49ers and the Buffalo Bills are thinking about doing something and also the [San Diego] Chargers and maybe the Atlanta Falcons. Those are the potential new stadiums in the NFL."

Hey they can't even get a house for TO. How they gonna get a new stadium?

June 6, 2009  09:26 AM ET

I'm pretty sure Buffalo has scattered site housing. TO will get a place.

Not a good sign. Just makes it easier to move to Toronto someday. And that would be a very sad day for the NFL.

Wouldn't doubt that Buffalo would convert to the CFL

If Vick joins this Motley Crew,, can he get a passport? Canada doesn't let felons in,,, besides Leaf that is.

This just in... The new stadium is in Toronto!

I'm assuming by "new stadium", they mean one in Downsview Park, Toronto. WOOOOOOOO

Why does every T&R involving the Bills or T.O. have that same picture? Anyway, they might build a dome in Toronto or they might use the Rogers Center if the Bills do move.

If they do move, they need a new name, the pun won't work outside of Buffalo.

Still don't see it as politically feasible for a team to go to Canada.

Dear Mr. Wilson,

Your team is beginning to look more and more like the Cowboys. Arrests, trades, disgruntled employees and T.O. Now a stadium possibly by the same company that worked with Jerry. Ralph, please pay attention to the state of the Boys and what Mr. Jones has done that organization. You've been classy for way to many years to head this direction. Don't do it.

Sincerely,

Jim Kelly

Dear Mr. Kelly

You are giving Wilson way too much credit. The Cowboys have at least sniffed the playoffs this decade. If we are going to have the arrests, trades and disgruntled employees. Lets at least have it result in a post-season appearance.
