The Buffalo Bills haven’t made the playoffs since 1999, making their franchise much less successful than the St. Louis Rams and San Diego Chargers who both were in the playoffs in the 2000s. Yet, both of those teams have now exited their former city, and now reside (or will soon reside, in the case of the now Los Angeles Chargers) in Los Angeles, California.
The move to Los Angeles makes sense from a business standpoint. More and more, the shift is moving less from culture of the fan base to “how many people can we get to come to the games, and how much can we jack up ticket prices because of location?
