This morning's Buffalo News went a step beyond equating Sunday's Bills win to the 1990s-era Fandemonium that was common at then-Rich Stadium, calling Sunday's environment at Ralph Wilson Stadium "fandelirium." They went on to describe how many of our region's transplants - numbering in the hundreds of thousands - responded all around the country.
Just as one example, here is the scene at Delilah's in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL:
If you spend some time on YouTube, you'll see the same scene played out in cities all across the United States (and the world), where Buffalonians still feel enough of a connection to their faraway hometown to come out and watch their team with dozens of strangers. Our stringent business environment has sent Buffalonians to Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Denver, and practically everywhere else, but their hearts remain here.
It's why we've launched and maintain programs like Buffalo Niagara 360 (developing young professionals), Accelerate Upstate (to focus on the things we can do well), and Unshackle Upstate (to achieve the legislative results we need to advance our region in Albany), and it's why our work continues to improve the chances of business success in Buffalo Niagara.
Who are the expats in your life? What needs to happen to bring them home?
