In a development that will serve only to increase speculation that the Buffalo Bills eventually will move to Toronto, 100,000 folks have signed up for an opportunity to purchase tickets for the eight games that the Bills will be playing north of the border over the next five years.
The series includes one regular-season game from 2008 through 2012, and a preseason game in 2008, 2010, and 2012.
The regular-season games will be played in December, in order to avoid conflicts with the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts, who are now officially the red-headed stepchildren in their own house.
And to all those Bills fans who are fretting about the possibility that one lost regular-season game per year in Toronto eventually will become eight, Toronto is a lot closer to Buffalo than, say, Los Angeles.

Joetoronto:
Thats your response to facts? Name calling?
And I laugh at you Hogtowners trying to act like you’re Americans.
If I was American, I’d be laughing at you losers.
Outright lying?
REad the papers moron.
And whats your knowledge of football to slag an entire league?
WAtching a quarter of the Super Bowl doesn’t make you an expert on squat. Have you ever even touched a football pal?
WAtch your NFL. Like they say. Plenty of good seats available.
Hope Godfrey and Rogers lose thier shirts.
Bye bye pal.

Hey.
Anybody who wants these “hot” tickets can go to the Rogers website and get 4 for the preseason game right on the 50 yard line, 17 rows up! I could have got them for the bargain price of 500 bucks, but declined. Anybody who cares should wait until the last few days before the game. There’s gonna be scalpers begging you to take them off their hands for 25 cents on the dollar.
Toronto isn’t an NFL town.
If the Maple Leafs were to play a game at the Skydome at the same prices, the bloody thing would have been sold out in ten minutes.
Like the Spice Girls did.
But for the NFL? All I hear are excuses.

Further update on the game August 14 in Toronto.
Remaining seats can now be bought for half price.
Plus a local furniture dealer is giving them away if you buy
a refrigerator.
And it doesn’t matter how many seats are empty, they’ll announce this
game as a sellout.
So as to make the NFL and the Buffalo Bills look good.
But face facts here.
Toronto is not this huge NFL town. The NHL is our NFL.
The Leafs would have sold out the Skydome in minutes.
Keep the NFL in your country.
Outside the USA the NFL is nothing.

My God man, get a grip on yourself, berezin. Do you understand how silly you sound, especially when you outright lie?
Just a couple of “facts” from last nights game…
High ticket prices - an average of $183 per game and a $575 top price - prevented what many had expected to be a quick sellout of the Bills’ games in Toronto. The $183 figure is double the highest-priced average ticket in the NFL last year (which was sold in New England).
The Bills will make nearly $9.75 million per game in Toronto, substantially more than the roughly US$5.5 million they average per game at Orchard Park, N.Y. Buffalo has traditionally had one of the lowest average ticket prices in the NFL ($51 per game) at Ralph Wilson Stadium, which has a seating capacity of 72,000.
The attendance last night was 48,434 and not 33,000, dipshit.
Now go ahead and post 5 more times like the little kid you are, loser.

“Facts are facts, the money isn’t in Buffalo, It’s here in Toronto. We don’t even care how much ticket prices are, It’s irrelevant. No matter what they charge, every game will be a sellout.
The Rogers Centre needs to be renovated to add some seats to meet the NFL standard, no big deal though.
It is what it is, Buffalo is a depressed city financially and Toronto is bursting at the seams with money”.
Gee. Who wrote that quote?
Oh, you did.
Game, set and match.
Its always fun shooting down these American wannabees in Hogtown.
HOpe you enjoyed your 500 dollar game last night.
My friend got in for free.
If you’re smart, you’ll do the same next game.
Bye bye.
