Boxes, corporate support. buffalo has cheap tickets and doesn't sell out when the weather and QBs and coaches are bad. I don't think it has to be Toronto though. Might move somewhere else
Toronto would support the team much better than Buffalo. However idrc too much about so whatever.
idk. Seems like they were really supporting the Blue Jays when the new stadium was built, and now not so much. When the Yankees play there it's half Yankee fans from Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and the north country.
That's the big question. Can Toronto support a team without many wins? Well we could use the leafs as an example. Have not won the Stanley Cup since 67 and still very well supported. Even the Blue Jays have not done squat for a while and they are supported well. The leafs do play hockey and the bills play football, Canadians will show up for any game with a stick and a puck but idk about Football.
Possibly because its the Yankees however, you do have a point. There will be huge hype if the bills come to Toronto and maybe after 5 losing years it will die down
Leafs yes, Blue Jays no. Raptors no because well they have been the worst basketball team for a lonnnggg time
Baseball. Football is much bigger than baseball in Canada. Im not saying it will work but im sure the games will not have to be blacked out due to low attendance like they are in Buffalo.
The Ralph is a dump. No charm at all. I am surprised the NFL lets a team play in a stadium like that. Most of the new stadiums are like shopping malls and entertainment centers that happen to have a football field in the middle. The NFL should have a standard NFL stadiums live up to. The Ralph needs to go!
Compared to other NFL cities Buffalo doesn't compare. Tough to attract free agents to Buffalo and get them to move their families there. And that makes the team uncompetitive. Mario Williams went there kicking and screaming. He didn't want to live in Buffalo but the Bills offered (and overpaid) so much $$$ he couldn't say no. The fact they have to overpay kills their cap and hurts their competitiveness. The stadium is an utter dump, the training facilities don't compare to other NFL teams. They have trouble selling tickets these days because the area is dead (like most manufacturing towns in the Northeast.) It's a disaster. And I'm not knocking the good people of Buffalo but when you stack up Buffalo and a city like Buffalo to the 31 other NFL cities...almost any other NFL city is just better. Just a better situation on the field and off all around.
kicking and screaming? mario williams is country
ralph is fine. zubaz wearers don't need the jerrydome. everyone says it can't compete with other stadiums. who cares? they're not competing for the same fans.
Why does it matter? Why does every stadium have to be an overpriced palace? It's a place to watch a football game. Get a grip.
