Could the Buffalo Bills eventually move to Niagara Falls? Seems a little odd to suggest, but it's a destination currently being considered by a stadium group of public and private leaders in hopes of keeping the Bills in the general upstate New York area.

Understandably, the Bills need a new home as 41-year-old Ralph Wilson Stadium is on its last legs, but there's no certainty that the team will be able to re-build in Orchard Park. Because of that, outside sites are being explored and Niagara Falls is one such possibility, reports the AP.

Don’t rule out Niagara Falls as a potential future home of the Buffalo Bills.

Several officials told The Associated Press that a newly formed Bills stadium task force of public and private leaders seeking to bolster the team’s long-term viability is considering sites that would put it closer to the team’s burgeoning Ontario fan base.

A move to Niagara Falls would put the franchise around 30 minutes closer (by car) to Ontario, and the hope/belief is that the Bills would be able to better tap into the Canadian market given the proximity.
