Possible game in Toronto???

[smack541]

Per, the state of the league address, there was mention of a game being played in Toronto. There is some hinting going on that one of the Bills home games will be moved up there. I think Ralph needs to fight this to his grave. Any type of success up in Toronto might spell doom for the Bills. Also, why do some of the best fans in the league have to give up a home game when teams like Jacksonville and Arizona never fill their stadiums??

God I hope you're kidding. Where did you hear this from?

I thought I had heard that Tagliabue said that they will be expanding into Canada in the future.

I don't see it happening without a major vote happening. Season tickets would have to exclude the costs of those away home games. Club seats, luxury boxes would be worth less and I don't see owners being all that anxious to give up guaranteed money like they get from those 3 sources

Are we talking regular season or preseason?

I don't think there's any way in hell they'd move a reg. season game.

The league has played preseason games outside the United States, and Tagliabue said the idea of holding regular-season games in other countries is under consideration. Toronto and Mexico City are the prime candidates -- perhaps as early as next season.

Here's the link... http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/3375856
"By then, the NFL might have staged a game that counts outside U.S. borders. Tagliabue said the league is considering a game in Mexico or Canada, perhaps as soon as the upcoming schedule.

Prime candidates to sacrifice a game in their home stadium would be the Cardinals for Mexico or the Bills for Canada, although Tagliabue mentioned no specific teams."

He never said that, but in the link in my last post Tagliubue vowed to have an LA franchise by the end of the decade, if they bring in 1 expansion team they'd bring in another to make the number of teams even and a team in Canada would be a definate possibility.

I am mad as heck at this.. I am a season ticket holder from Canada. I feel that this is a slap in the face to the bills franchise and we as fans alike. The Union address also spoke of Arizona playing a game in Mexico. Is that the impression that is given around the league?? That we are in the same class as the Cardnals? The Bills are the BUFFALO Bills.. (not the Montreal Expos!! we are not dying as a franchise and we have more then 2,500 people show up for games!). This is just one step closer in the NFL's quest to move the Bills to Toronto to expand their market to a "large" Canadian fan base which will is a total misconception. Canadians have one track minds that focus on hockey first and everything else last. All you have to look at is the Raptors ticket situation. Even with a hockey strike they have only sold out 3 of their games this year!! There is not even a stadium that would justify an NFL regular season game (Mexico has a 100,000 plus stadium.. but where would our game be the Sky Dome errrrrrrrrrrr now the Roger's Centre??) The dome is so bad for football that the Toronto Argo's are moving out of the city centre and into the York area to a stadium that will be the likes of UB stadium!!! It will not work. and the only thing that a move like this would accomplish would be killing Buffalo off with regards to the NFL.

As sad as it is to say, the Bills WILL NOT be in buffalo in 10yrs...
