Buffalo Bills Domed Stadium on Lackawanna's Waterfront is the only right place! The best choice for all of Western New York.

Bethlehem Waterfront Park

• Change Western New York's image forever from the rust belt to a GREEN BELT, NATIONAL SHOWCASE approx 1275 acres.
  
  
• Continuous waterfront park system
  
  
• Domed stadium (retractable roof) beside a large Harbor 600 to 1,000 boat slips, with an impressive front plaza and boardwalk overlooking the harbor. Elevated enclosed walkways connecting stadium, four high rise hotels, condos, splash lagoon and restaurant and shopping district on ridge road and old route five boulevard.
  
  
• SPLASH LAGOON, Woodlawn beach beautification and extension (total two mile beach), outdoor youth athletic areas (football, baseball and soccer), 200 RV/camper sites, amphitheater/elevated patios overlooking sunset views, picnic shelters, existing wildlife/bird nursery, art area, garden area, museums/sports theme attractions.
  
  
• Multiple six existing access roads. A seventh fast track thruway connector built on an abandon 2.3 mile railway to link up with Waterfront with no tolls. Fast track Route Five, with no stop lights.
  
  
• Highlight the City of Buffalo’s numerous hotels, restaurants, shops and waterfront by connecting the light rail transit system (an eighth access) to the park.
  
  
• The domed stadium would be a half a mile away from the immediate shoreline to protect tens of thousands of tailgating Bills fans from the weather.
  
  
• A natural showcase for 80,000 fans, some from all parts of the nation and the national awareness of millions of viewers on TV, attract the Super Bowl.
  
  
• CREATE THOUSANDS OF JOBS, construction, hotels, stores, restaurants, offices, and support businesses

I agree that is time to begin wrestling this mess that Bethlehem left, cleaning it up and putting that amazing area back into the tax roll.

I am from Orchard Park, I still come back all the time and go to games. This is important to me because not only is it a fantastic spot, getting rid of one of the scars of the city and putting something else there that would remind us of where the city use to come from in the Steel days would be a great way to honor past and present.

Season ticket holders and if you have to move it then Lackawanna has more than enough room along the waterfront plus it's an eye sore now. Let's make the most of that empty land. Great idea and easy access for all.

I believe that the message is true! We failed at our last attempt. Let's not allow Lackawanna fall to the wayside. I'm from the north side of the city and I can totally see the wisdom of this argument.

While not only providing a permanent and contemporary home to the Buffalo Bills, this plan would turn a long dominant and polluted site into a local, national and international destination. I grew up in Buffalo and the Bethlehem Steel site always conjured images for a long gone era. We can reclaim part of that hay day and help rejuvenate the city and surrounding neighborhoods.

The Buffalo Bills are an integral part of the Western New York Community and need to be recognized and part of a larger long lasting project here. Local, national, and even international recognition of a project of this magnitude would benefit the region and be a positive move in the right direction for improving the economic and cultural climate. These are critical times and losing the Bills is not an option. This plan is a forward thinking and practical way to ensuring the growth of the region and the future of a long lasting and deeply engrained tradition.
