BLZFAN4LIFE Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I am jealous ! Have fun. Go Bills !!! Ground the Jets. I'm not. I don't think it's right for Bills fans to go to Toronto and support that series. Let it flounder from a lack of local support.
Phlegm Alley Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Check out the Distillery District. Lots of cool bars, restaurants, etc.
Phlegm Alley Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I'm not. I don't think it's right for Bills fans to go to Toronto and support that series. Let it flounder from a lack of local support. Another reason not to like the Toronto series.
RyanC882 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Another reason not to like the Toronto series. Well said. The good news is that Rogers might not want to renew the series after loosing so much money to Ralph this time.
BillsZubaz Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Sorry here Jack, but.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! This game should not be up there. Period. Although, it is kind of funny that Ralph fleeced them out of that much money. Ralph made out like a bandit in the situation....as it is now...
DDD Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 That bronze sculpture of the hockey players outside the hockey HOF is the worst piece of artwork I have ever seen.
ricojes Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Well said. The good news is that Rogers might not want to renew the series after loosing so much money to Ralph this time. I believe Rogers main intent when signing the contract was to eventually obtain more games per season or move the team to TO. But now that Rogers has passed and the experiment so far has been a bust, I don't see it happening any time soon.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Another reason not to like the Toronto series. Boo hoo. So they think playing some games in Toronto sucks? Ask them how business is when the Bills move to L.A. PTR
Heels20X6 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 As a Canadian Bills fan who enjoys his 6 hour trek to Ralph Wilson to watch the game with other Bills fans (Canadians and Americans), please put me down in the category of "Skydome can go f### itself". I want nothing to do with the overpriced, sanitized version of a "Bills home game" those f###tards at Rogers are throwing. It's bad enough they got a near gawdarn monopoly on cellular and cable and are gouging consumers. I'm not giving them another cent. I LOVE how Rogers got ripped off by this venture.
Guest dog14787 Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Boo hoo. So they think playing some games in Toronto sucks? Ask them how business is when the Bills move to L.A. PTR My feelings also, I do understand why season ticket holders would be upset, but the Toronto game helps solidify the Bills future in the City of Buffalo. Another point I would like to make, how about when we decide to build a new stadium. Now wouldn't it be a smart move to tap into our Canadian counterpart for added revenues.

Now wouldn't it be a smart move to tap into our Canadian counterpart for added revenues. They could level most of Niagara Falls NY (except for the casino) and put a stadium there and I'd be OK with it.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 They could level most of Niagara Falls NY (except for the casino) and put a stadium there and I'd be OK with it. On game days, shut down the Rainbow Bridge to vehicular traffic. Have people walk over the bridge. Build the stadium right there. PTR
cwchze Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 That glass floor at the CN tower scares the **** out of me man it scares the crap out of me too...but I still walk on it..... love toronto....but love buffalo better...GO BILLS
Just Jack Posted December 3, 2009 Author Posted December 3, 2009 Went to the Official Budweiser Tailgate for about 15 minutes. Believe it or not, last years was better. Smaller area, on a grass park, which was already turning to mud. Get a pat down going in, then surrounded by 20 Budweiser girls selling beer. The only vendor was Hooters. Last year they had signs up all over with the time different players would be on, bands, etc. This year, no signs. One good note, so far from what I've seen walking around, Bills fans out number Jets fans. Bad note, other fans (not wearing any Bills/Jets gear) outnumber both.
CodeMonkey Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 My feelings also, I do understand why season ticket holders would be upset, I'd be upset too if I prepaid big bucks for these Toronto games only for tickets better than mine being given away free!
PromoTheRobot Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I'd be upset too if I prepaid big bucks for these Toronto games only for tickets better than mine being given away free! An old boss of mine used to say "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered." This is a classic example. Rogers doomed this enterprise from the start. If they kept tickets between $75-$200 and let people buy the games they wanted, they would have sold a lot more. Instead they shamelessly tried to screw people and discovered that there is a limit.

jester43 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 since i haven't said it in awhile...i have to say i frikkin HATE ralph for selling off 12.5% of our home games over a 5-year period. in a career full of stupid, short-sighted, miserly LOSING moves, this is the biggest insult of all to the fans who made him filthy rich. f you ralph.
iinii Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 checked into the hotel, I can see the CN Tower and Rogers Centre right out my window. bring home a victory!
