be very popular with our fans and players alike.”
didn't Bob Ackles die in july 08???!??!!!

Not that I think that BC will get an NFL team in my life time there were reasons that TO had problems selling out the Bills game. The number one reason being they we're asking retarded amounts of money for tickets.

When you could buy Bills seasons tickets in Buffalo for the same price or cheaper then they were charging for 1 ticket for the game in Toronto it's not hard to figure out why they had issues selling tickets. If they brought a team here and single game tickets cost as much as Seahawk seasons tickets we'd have problems to.

Edit: BTW I'm a big football fan of both CFL and NFL but I really hope that the NFL never comes to Canada.

MLS will never ever draw players from euro. The only players they might draw are the washed up ones.

Yup, i'd rather not see the NFL in Canada as well because it would basically kill the CFL off.
