There was HUGE news that there is going to be another person who gets the 'key' to the City of Buffalo. It was really fun news over the weekend to hear that Buffalo Bills superstar Dion Dawkins is going to be the next person who gets the key from Buffalo Mayor Chris Scanlon.

Dion Dawkins is getting the key to the City in a very fun, family friendly event later this week.

Who has a 'key' to the City of Buffalo?

It's something that is done in cities all over America...usually for doing extraordinary things, but there is one guy who has the Key to the City of Buffalo that is a little 'laugh out loud'. There are 4 people who have already been giving the honorary key to the City.

1.) Terrell Owens

The first one is Terrell Owens who received the key to the city in his wild first 24 hours of arriving in Buffalo. Of course, it was staged for the most part--but, he still gets the key.

He got off of the plane to land in Buffalo and there was a marching band playing as he hopped into a limo and got down to a rally at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery where Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown presented him with the gift of the key. It was all part of T.O.'s VH1 show.

In addition, he had cereal in Western New York, remember? Called TO's.

To get your own cereal and the Key to the City of Buffalo all for playing one season for the Bills and having 829 yards on the only season in Buffalo.

2.) Kim and Terry Pegula

The SECOND person/people, which makes a whole lot more sense is Terry Pegula and his wife Kim, the owners of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres. Which, makes sense. Having the winning bid for the Buffalo Bills, meant that the team was going to stay here in Western New York. There were some possibilities of owners taking the team elsewhere. They were given the Key to the City in 2014 after the grand opening of the HARBORCENTER.

3.) Steven Coppola

Lastly, Steven Coppola, a North Buffalo native received a key to the City of Buffalo from Byron Brown in 2008 after winning the bronze medal in rowing at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
