SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Forbes value of the Bills jumps up 19% since last year Hopes expansion will make it out to Albany The Buffalo Bills are expanding the brand north, and it can get you a cheaper ticket Edited October 22, 2019 by SlimShady'sGhost 1 1
sir andrew Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I gotta say, I was surprised how much Bills gear I saw when I was out in Albany last month. Of course, having the Jets and Giants both be terrible probably helps matters. 2
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Just don't ever go messing with our home game playing sites again!! One Toronto cash grab over the life of the franchise was enough. 8 1 5

Even non Bills fans 5
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I don’t want anymore Bills fans. It seems like there are 9 billion fans already. We are full! 1 8

RochesterRob Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I've been banging that drum for years. The healthier the Bills are financially the less likely that they get moved at some point in the future. As for Toronto I don't see any reason to be concerned about that. Maybe play a preseason game there every other year. With the Bills on an upswing no regular season home games will be played away from OP barring a weather event like we saw a few years ago. If there was a forecast for a very down year I could see one late season game played in the dome at SU. Not very likely but not impossible either. 1

Expand If Roger Goodell schedules games in London, Mexico City and Budapest Hungary, you can damn well predict Toronto will be in his sights within a few years....the only difference this time around will be other teams around the Great Lakes and North East will have to go up and play games (Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, NE, maybe even NY Jets and Giants). It won't be a purely Buffalo Bills designated game. 2

Expand I think they won one of the games I attended, but it was more about the atmosphere. Very sterile in Toronto. Filled with "NFL" fans. Not nearly enough Bills fans. And no tailgating. I'd much rather make the trip to Orchard Park and enjoy a true NFL experience with the best fans in the world. 5

Mrbojanglezs Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I have no problem with the Bills giving lower ticket prices if bought from certain zip codes to expand the brand 1

The Bills are probably meh to the upper crust of Toronto society that lacks a passion in terms of rooting for a specific team. 1 1
