There is a small corporate base in Buffalo. That’s why they don’t sell naming rights to the stadium.
The Anchor Bar can’t afford to buy naming rights. And the reason season ticket holders don’t go to Toronto is because tickets cost 4 times more than at the Ralph. And the Bills DO need the money! They are not one of the richest teams in the NFL. Ralph Wilson is not a billionaire. The money they get from Toronto helps to keep your ticket prices at a level that Buffalonians can afford. Bills fans are extremely unappreciative that their tickets are the lowest in the league.

If they wanted extra profit so bad, why not sell the naming rights to the stadium instead of dumping another 5 years of this Toronto series junk on us?

I’d rather see the Bills playing in Orchard Park at something like “Time Warner Stadium” than in that awful Rogers Center.

It was expected. I’ve yet to meet a season ticket holder from Buffalo who goes to the Toronto game.

Oddly enough no one in Toronto cares.

It’s nothing but a blatant money grab because the Bills don’t have to share this revenue with the rest of the league. The teams gets about as much support in Toronto as they would at any other away game. In essence, the Bills end up with 7 home games and 9 away games.

The Bills make a reported $30 million profit before you factor the Toronto series in. SO, they dont NEED the money, its greed.

At first, I thought this was just the Bills’ way of testing the waters for a possible permanent move to Toronto. After five failed years, I am just baffled as to why they would keep doing this.

i love my Bills, but just as it was 5 years ago when they signed the first agreement, this is again a sad day for the franchise.

I think Buffalo should just annex Toronto and be done with it.

Everyone in WNY knows the Toronto game is a joke including the players. Three quarters of the “fans” who go to them root for the opposing team and the rest could care less who wins. This has been and always will be a bad idea and I hope whomever buys the team once Ralph Wilson is gone cancels the series.

Did he say anything about how there wouldn’t be a team in Buffalo without it?

Just wondering. SMH.
