Toronto councilor Doug Ford told TheScore.com that he expects the NFL to seek to place a team in Toronto after it places a team in Los Angeles. Said Ford: "They have to take care of the problem in Los Angeles first. Two teams are kind of in play here: Jacksonville's number one; New Orleans is the other. So there's two teams. Once they take care of Los Angeles, we're going to fly over to New York, set up a meeting with (NFL commissioner Roger) Goodell and give him our pitch." Ford is the brother of Toronto mayor Rob Ford. The Buffalo Bills currently play an annual game in Toronto at the Rogers Centre but commissioner Roger Goodell has said Toronto must build a new stadium if it is to attract a full-time NFL team. Toronto already has franchise in MLB and the NBA, as well as the popular Maple Leafs of the NHL and Ford is betting the city's size and economy will help draw the NFL. "They want to expand internationally," Ford TheScore.com. "But what better expansion than down the street to Toronto? They can't keep ignoring a market this size." Source: USA Today
Their poor attendances at the Bills games they host pretty much killed off any plans of a team going there permanently. Plus Rogers Centre is a bit trashy now.
