Cant see it.
Not with the Tie Cats, and Argo's already eating up the biggest slice of the football market in Ontairo already.
Just because you bunch here on the CP don't like the CFL , don't mean it aint HUGE up here in Canuck land.
Moving the Bills into Toronto, would signal a death toll for the team.
Yes there are lots of NFL fans in Canada, but not enough to field a team, at least not until your recession down south gets to the point our Canuck buck is worth twice the amount of a Yankie green back (like yours was to ours 10-15 years ago).
Why else aren't cities like Edmonton, or Vancouver already feilding an NFL team?? TONNS of cash in the oil city, and lord knows Hongcouver is loaded.
Were a HOCKEY first country, with CFL and Baseball covering our sports markets.
We just don't have the markets or population density for it to be a viabale operation.
I mean hell, look on a map, you've got 4 eastern Canadian proviences, who do nothing but host farm teams, for "Upper Canadian" owners.
.
The first PRO team of any kind you find in Canada going from east to west is in Quebec, and theres NO provience in better economic shape in Canada right now than Newfoundland. Which only has a total population of 600,000 people.
