The Buffalo Bills are rumored to be considering relocation if Buffalo doesn't build them a decent new stadium. Why not try what Gov. Roland attempted to do with the Patriots but with the Bills. Bring them to Hartford. It would sure help Hartford's economy. The Bills' current lease expires in July 2023. UConn could share the facility and get a 64,000 seat stadium. It would show Connecticut is serious about football and would send a message to the P5 or P4 conferences about UConn football. That we are serious. We deserve a membership.

Expand the Rent for them. It’s cost-effective. Then build a stadium for UConn on campus.

(That said it’s not happening)

No. In 30 years the NFL will be played in glorified tv studios.

NFL & Owner of the Bills: “We need to get the city of Buffalo and it’s tax payers to pay for a brand new state of the art stadium.” “Let’s pretend we are going to move the team to a new city if we don’t get what we want.” “Let me see, what state can we and use in our little plan?” “Do you think Connecticut would we stupid enough to fall for the same scam twice?” ………………

I still think there was a chance the Patriots would have come to Hartford back when Roland was governor. Their home state just came up with a better offer. One problem with Connecticut: we always think we are not good enough to compete nationally in many things, be it attracting a pro team, getting UConn into P5, or turning UConn into a world-renown research (AAU) university. These things can be done.

I am pretty sure the school has being invited to a P4 conference as a goal.

You’ll have a better chance getting the Redskins aka WFT to relocate b/c no jurisdiction in the DMV is stupid enough to build a new stadium for an NFL team.

Wasn't true then. Isn't true now. This has been well documented.

Like others noted, the owner is trying to pressure Buffalo.

But if the Bills ever did move, I'd suspect it would be to a city with a metro population of 2 million or more - like San Antonio, Austin, San Diego, St. Louis, or Portland.

The Bills are too low rent. Why not just get the Giants?

Another problem is the NFL didnt want the patriots moving here.

This is not true. Why do people keep saying this nonsense? The home state barely offered squat. CT had the greatest offer of all time. If there was no such thing as a steam plant the Pats would be in Hartford right now.
