I suppose. But, it's not like there was an NBA or MLB team within 50 miles (or whatever Buffalo is from Toronto). I think an NFL team in Toronto would affect the CFL teams (Toronto and Hamilton) a lot more than the Bills.Originally Posted by SpikedLemonade
I think there would/will substantial opposition from the CFL regarding an NFL team in Toronto.
None.
The CFL is powerless.
The owner of Toronto's CFL team has been trying to sell the team for years.
The CFL will always survive in Hamilton.
People in Toronto don't consider Buffalo close. They don't root for Buffalo teams because they are close. That is why they never identified with the Bills when they played in Toronto.
I even think if a downtown stadium is built in Buffalo, less Canadians will come to the come due to reduced tailgating, the traffic to get into the downtown core and the sheer ugliness that is downtown Buffalo. Canadians certainly won't be staying overnight in hotels there. It will not change what Buffalo is.
See 3 rivers stadium and the improvements are there over time, so I beg to differ.
That isn't Buffalo.
Not even close.
Yeah, Lake Erie is much bigger.

Nothing to do with the lake. It is beautiful.
Have you seen what most of downtown Buffalo looks like these days?
And the Buffalo area & Pittsburgh area are about the same in size.
Have you seen downtown Buffalo these days?
Have you even ever been to Buffalo?
Many times.
4 times in the last 2 years.
How about you Grandpa Florida?
How can the CFL survive in Hamilton if the entire league folds?
There are 5 teams out west that are doing very well, a team in Montreal that is doing well and a new team in Ottawa this year.
The CFL will not fold.
When is the last time you were there? Two years ago or 2 months ago?
I have not been there in a long time myself, But I have heard Downtown has changed a lot recently.

Well, how is the CFL doing in Toronto?
I was downtown yesterday. And ran through it in May and get down there more often than Spiked.
It has changed. It is slowly improving. Not all the way there yet. But there is progress
The CFL is not folding. Costs are controlled. They are even on ESPN now, getting revenue.
I was there last in late September of last year.
The CFL in Toronto is doing OK but play out of that same crappy football stadium that the Bills played.
Toronto rightfully considers itself a major league city and the CFL is simply not that.
Maybe Pegula can buy the Bills and the Argos... That would be interesting indeed.
The CFL is not Major League because Canada is not Major League.
And since Canada is not Major league neither is its largest City Toronto.
You are just an old butthole.
Spiked prefers to be a miserable little ***** who criticizes things he knows nothing about.
He will be crying in his gay drink soon enough after the Sale of the Bills is completed to Pegula.
