Just wondering what the impact will be of the end of the Bills in Toronto series will have on Canadians attending Bills games in Buffalo.
Given:
Brandon has noted one success: attendance by Canadian fans at Ralph Wilson Stadium had increased from 11% to 20% at the time of the renewal agreement.[24] Brandon has said that "Southern Ontario and the Toronto market and the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) are now the top secondary market of the Buffalo Bills".
and
However, Brandon also emphasized the financial benefits of the series by saying that it has "taken a game out of the [Buffalo] market that has essentially taken 70,000 seats out of our market, and we've truly only sold out two of our home games". He went on to say "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".[32] Brandon has also said that the additional game would "stress-test the Buffalo market"
and
About 10,000 to 15,000 attendees (15-20% of the total) of Bills' home games at Ralph Wilson Stadium come from southern Ontario.
I am surprised the percentage of Canadians increased to 20% as of January 2013.
So if Brandon is right that the increase is due to the now dead series, will Canadian attendance drop?
If it does, I hope all the big mouths crapping on Canadians will reach deeper into your pockets and buy more tickets so we can see the games up here without streaming.
Please don't let us down.
