I haven't been around much so I don't know if this has been discussed but as I told Clump at the game Sunday there is perfect reason for the Bills to have a "home game" in Toronto....potential luxury boxes.
The "new revenue" stream really shouldn't be about fans buying tickets. The stadium is full and those monies get split in the big league wide revenue pot. What this teams needs is to build more luxury boxes in which the Bills derive all the money.
The luxury boxes at the new Jets/Giants stadium will have a $1mil per year price tag on them. The boxes at the Ralph cost $95,000 a year. That is an incredible difference that will make it hard for the Bills to compete.
Solution? Build more boxes and increase the prices. This could easily be done. All you need to do is put another row or two of boxes near the scoreboard and put some more over at the tunnel end of the stadium. The next question is who do you get to buy those boxes? And that is where Toronto comes into play. There are more companies there than in the whole WNY area combined. Give them game in Toronto so that these companies can schmooze clients or reward employees and entice them to buy the new boxes here at RWS.
Seems like an interesting trade-off to me to help keep the Bills competitive and here in Buffalo.
Thoughts?
