While attending the Jim Kelly Celebrity Classic at Terry Hills Golf Course in Batavia, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell commented on the potential for a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills.
Goodell, a Jamestown native, said “I think a new stadium is what’s needed. I think it’s going to require a public/private partnership. I think the Bills and the community, and probably the NFL, are all gonna have to come together and figure out how to do that in a smart way and I think we will.”

Goodell also addressed the rumors that are swirling about the Bills potentially being moved if a stadium deal is not agreed on, the commissioner said the Bills staying in WNY is important and he believes if all sides come together a deal will get done.
