Fatty Liver Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 Looks like the Bills will be staying in Buffalo. http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/story/?id=461318
USABomberfan Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 This isn't Toronto's dream anyway, it's Roger Goodell's.
mfranc Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 This makes me smile. Time for Toronto to get behind the Argos and support the CFL. Jaxon and BomberFan 2
Mark F Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 didn't they have to cut prices, or give tickets away to the games that the bills played in toronto? Americans are pretty oblivious to anything going on beyond their border, that includes sports.

johnzo Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 Happy for the people of Buffalo. They support their team like crazy and deserve to have it long-term. voodoochylde, Mr Dee, Jaxon and 2 others 5
FrostyWinnipeg Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 This isn't Toronto's dream anyway, it's Roger Goodell's. And Rogers Centre.
johnzo Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 Rogers Center is too small for the NFL. Toronto would have to build a new football-only stadium to house a team.
Fraser Posted September 9, 2014 Report Posted September 9, 2014 didn't they have to cut prices, or give tickets away to the games that the bills played in toronto? Americans are pretty oblivious to anything going on beyond their border, that includes sports. People will support what is there's better. Nhl exhibition games were light sellers in wpg and the jets have been well supported.

Americans are pretty oblivious to anything going on beyond their border, that includes sports. Americans DO NOT want the NFL going beyond their border, just like I would say most Canadians do not want an American expansion to the US ever again. Trust me, I've seen it all over NFL forums and they are not for the games in Toronto at all. They are even angrier about games being played in London and they all want Goodell out for even thinking of such a thing as putting a team there.
Fatty Liver Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 The good news is that If the Bills stay in Buffalo, Toronto will never get an NFL team as they are considered part of the Bills territory. mfranc and Jaxon 2

Yep. Roger's plan to use that to their advantage has blown up in their face. Buffalo will block any and all efforts by Toronto to get a franchise.
Guest Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 The Bills in Toronto story is dead, but the NFL Dream in Toronto isn't going to die. Anytime that there is expansion talk or if another NFL team goes up for bids with relocation in mind, Rogers and Tanenbaum won't be too far behind.
Rich Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 Clippers selling for 2 Billion. The Bills over 1 billion. Can you imagine what a marquee sports team would sell for now a days. Wonder what an expansion fee in the NFL would be. I know the NFL Toronto rumours won't die but I can't see it happening. They would need a new stadium and the Bills in Toronto experiment was not a success. The Thrashers were reportedly sold for 110 million plus a 60 million relocation fee to the NHL. The team is now estimated to be worth 340 million. Pretty soon it is only going to be corporations and conglomerates who can afford sports franchises.

AtlanticRiderFan Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Good. NFL doesn't belong in Canada. CFL is our league. FrostyWinnipeg and SPuDS 2
