Question

Why are the buffalo bills playing 8 games in toronto? why not just play in their own stadium?

Answer 1

Because no one in America wants to watch a crappy team, I don't think anyone outside of Buffalo will notice or care, how many meters Trent Edwards throws for , ay.  

Answer 2

Because Toronto will be the Bills new home in 2 years - so they are appealing to the canadian fans  

Answer 3

the buffalo bills are playing 8 games in toronto because it will be their homes soon and they are playing their because they are right on the border.

Answer 4

It's a way of regionalizing the franchise more, similar to when they moved training camp from Fredonia to Rochester. This time, as opposed to bringing in more fans from the east, they're trying to attract more people/companies from the Toronto area to buy luxury seating at the Ralph. While we don't have a problem selling normal seating, we can't charge the exorbitant prices for luxury boxes that larger market teams do.

It's NOT a precursor to moving the team. There is a plan in place to keep the team in Buffalo after Ralph's passing.

Answer 5

money....

Answer 6

as far as i know, they're playing 1 game a year for the next 8 years in toronto. it's a combination of trying to get canada more in to american football (who knows, they might like it as much as hockey) and the fact that the owner of the bills wants to move the team to toronto eventually. he's been denying it up and down, but its the obvious intent.

Answer 7

Because they can sell out their home games in Toronto instead of playing in a half-empty stadium in Buffalo.
