If you compare season ticket prices of toronto and buffalo you will note that there is not a significant price jump from the cfl to the nfl. Toronto's prices range from 145 - 569 for seasons tickets, while buffalo starts at 270 - 600 for season tickets (individual tickets go from 38 - 70 in buffalo...reminds one of rider ticket prices do they not?). This is not just a buffalo thing either, I am going to a redskins game in a few weeks and 15 yard line tickets were 64. Not actually that big of a price differential. Plus people in toronto already spend large amounts of money going to raptors, blue jay and leafs games. No I don't think that price would be that much of a consideration in a large city like toronto. They have already shown that they are willing to pay money for entertainment.<BR/><BR/>TH<BR/><BR/>I do agree that the ti-cats have great potential for the future (a year or two under their belts and they could be a grey cup contender).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292143549952915437.post-88092408128000141312007-10-26T08:31:00.000-06:002007-10-26T08:31:00.000-06:00The Buffalo Bill playing in Toronto has not yet be...The Buffalo Bill playing in Toronto has not yet been approved, though it was brought up in the owner's meeting. http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/news_story/?ID=221266&hubname=nfl<BR/><BR/>As for the CFL, while I agree they are lucky that they have some time to come up with a plan regarding the NFL in Toronto...But do you really see the league office coming up with one? <BR/><BR/>One thing to consider is that tickets to an NFL game are substantially more money than a CFL game so I think you'll still see a lot of families going to Argos games in Toronto. <BR/><BR/>As for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats I agree 100% they need to be better. Bob Young is an excellent owner(in that he has money and will spend it on stadium improvements, etc..) but he keeps hiring the wrong guys.<BR/><BR/>Marcel Dejardins has got to go. Just look at the trades he has made with Saskatchewan...Rocky Butler, 2 draft picks for DJ Flick and Wayne Smith. DJ leads the league in TD receptions and Smith is starting Canadian O-Lineman. Butler is holding a clipboard in TO.<BR/><BR/>Thyron Anderson & Jason French for Tad Kornegay. Anderson is who knows where and French, well quite simply he SUCKS big time and we get Tad Kornegay a starting DB.<BR/><BR/>Then there was the trade that we got Corey Holmes and Chris Getzlaf for a washed up player named Jason Armstead. Armstead is absolutely brutal, he is no return specialist, unless you want him to make poor decisions and lose yardage. And while he's fast he is very medium at best as a receiver.<BR/><BR/>Eric Tillman totally bent Marcel Dejardins over when he made those trades.<BR/><BR/>But Hamilton does have some good players left, they have a good coach and I think with some good offseason scouting they could be a much better team next year.Big T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12112318704448520070noreply@blogger.com
