I'm still a fervent supporter of the Bills

Regardless, if they're going to demand 100% of public money to build a stadium, which itself is a lucrative venture that will serve only to enrich the owners, then there's no choice but to let the team walk.

It would be devastating psychologically to a region that already has issues with its reputation (weather, economy, etc.), but there's no reason for the community to bear the burden of paying for a stadium that the owners can finance on their own. I think most people by now have gotten wise to the fact that these stadium projects do not deliver the promised benefits to the surrounding area, which is why there is already significant push back to this audacious proposal.
