The meeting that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is having today with U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) isn’t his only scheduled meeting with a senator.

In addition to the Goodell-Specter Spygate meeting, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has scheduled a meeting with Goodell and Bills owner Ralph Wilson to discuss what can be done to keep the team in Buffalo.

“[Goodell] and I are going up to meet with Mr. Wilson in the near future to discuss the future of the Bills and try to figure out ways we can help the Bills to stay in Buffalo,” Schumer told reporters in a conference call today.

The Bills plan to have a total of eight preseason and regular-season games at the Rogers Centre in Toronto in the next five years, and that has led to some speculation that Toronto, which is a bigger and wealthier city than Buffalo, might ultimately be an attractive home for the Bills on a permanent basis.

But Schumer said he’s confident that the team will stay in Upstate New York.

“Commissioner Goodell is committed to doing anything he and the league can to keep the Bills in Buffalo,” Schumer said.

U.S. Rep. Brian Higgins, D-N.Y., also said today that he wants to do all he can to keep the Bills where they are. In a letter to Goodell, Higgins said the league should consider allowing full community ownership of the Bills, modeled after the Green Bay Packers, or at least allow local fans to own a minority stake in the team.
