Tradition and a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee (Man, this saying used be a dime for coffee, talk about losing tradition!).
While I would love to see the Bills stay where they have been for 46 years, this is a business. If the owner can not make a profit or be able to keep up with their competition they must make changes. I used to enjoy shopping at Montgomery Wards and Woolworth's but they don't exist any more. This is sad but a fact of life in our capitalistic world. This is also a part of the reality of todays world that I think the old guard owners have trouble with. They are still used to $.25 a gallon gas. That is not the reality their teams operate in any more. Do I think it sucks and wish things were easier? Of course. But I am realistic enough to realize this is about economics, not tradition.
