Re: CEO Russ Brandon : Bills to review Toronto future
Originally posted by better days View PostToronto has proven it is NOT an NFL City.
Less than 40,000 for a REGULAR SEASON NFL game. PITIFUL.
That being said, Toronto hasn't helped their case at all. If nothing else, they have moved themselves off the top of the list if potential relocation spots for the Bills, should it come to that
And there was some speculation about the Bills splitting time with Toronto and doing 4 and 4- I think there is zero chance that happens now.

Originally posted by OpIv37 View PostWell I don't think this is proof-it's one generally meaningless game a year with a borrowed team. My guess is that an NFL team in Toronto full time would get much better support.

"Toronto has been positive for us down here," Brandon said. "We've had great growth in the southern Ontario marketplace over the last five years back here at Ralph Wilson Stadium. That has been a big positive...."

"It's also about being viable. That's one of the things that we've talked about for many years here. Look at it from the standpoint from where we've been on the ticket side. We've taken a game out of the market that has essentially taken 70,000 seats out of our market, and we've truly only sold out two of our home games," Brandon said. "We've manufactured sellouts in the other four or five. We're trying to find ways to obviously keep this team viable and we've done a very good job, and this [Toronto] series has obviously contributed to that."

Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View PostI think with Buffalo having the lowest average priced tickets and luxury boxes, the lack of sell outs is showing that Buffalo will NOT be an NFL City in 10 years.

Originally posted by NaturalBornSpiller View PostDo you think perhaps it has anything to do with the product on the field? IF we were even 7-5 instead of 5-7, the Ralph would definitely be sold out IMO, which would debunk your theory

Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View PostOf course it does, however why do you think our future record on the field will be better than our current or past record?
