The Buffalo Bills, scorching at the box office, are considering a cap on season ticket sales for the first time in club history.
Interest has soared to unprecedented levels from the excitement emanating from their first winning record in a decade, new ownership, Rex Ryan's arrival and a few high-profile roster moves.
A Bills source has informed me season tickets have surpassed 55,000. They are virtually certain they will break their record of 57,132 set in 1992.
A cap on season tickets would be instituted to protect fans who want to buy single-game tickets.
The source added Ralph Wilson Stadium's suites are nearly sold out.
Revenues will be boffo. Ticket prices are up 6 percent over last year.
What's more, season tickets are 10 games -- eight regular-season, two preseason -- instead of just nine games when the Bills exported one of their home dates to Toronto from 2008 through 2013.
