Luxy312 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I've heard from a lot of folks in WNY and most won't go to Toronto for a couple of reasons. First, the drive is long. Having to cross the border is a PITA and the prospect of sitting in traffic after the game isn't attractive. Second and more important, that stadium is a baseball park. It's tiny and cramped. Why would anyone want to go to Toronto to watch a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 If i wasn't planning for a wedding and saving money, I'd be there. but this year isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) If I lived in Buffalo I'd be there every year. I like Toronto. PTR Toronto is a great city to be sure. But drive the extra distance (WNY out of towners is even worse), the expensive tickets, and no tailgating to watch a Bills "home game" in front of a largely neutral small crowd would be depressing.

TedWilliamsFrozenHead Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I love Toronto, but I drive a 600 mile round trip mostly for the tailgate. A Bills win is a bonus. No tailgating @ Rodgers, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Toronto is a great city to be sure. But drive the extra distance (WNY out of towners is even worse), the expensive tickets, and no tailgating to watch a Bills "home game" in front of a largely neutral small crowd would be depressing. Tickets are more reasonable now. (cheapest are $48) Tailgating? Few stadiums are like RWS. Besides there are so many good restaurants and bars nearby. That's fun too. Also I think Toronto fans are getting better. Who can cheer when you are giving up 50 points? Play better and they'll cheer. Getting to Buffalo is 500 miles for me. Another 100 to Toronto is tough. In my wilder, more lucrative days I'd hop on a plane and go. Not an option lately. I love Toronto, but I drive a 600 mile round trip mostly for the tailgate. A Bills win is a bonus. No tailgating @ Rodgers, correct? Toronto cops frown on open containers in public. For a country with the rep for drinking Canadians have their alcohol laws are pretty harsh. Maybe that's why?

Bufcomments Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Me... Depends on if the game is sold out. If the games not sold out it depends on the weather.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentHull Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I am a Canadian and Toronto is about 2 hours closer for me to attend a game, but to me there is no comparison. The Ralph is the place to watch the Bills play. The Rogers Centre is not a very good football stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 If I lived in Buffalo I'd be there every year. I like Toronto. PTR I live in Buffalo but its a hassle crossing the border. You need a passport or enhanced license to enter Canada now. Maybe that could part of the reason more people don't go. I love T.O. as well and have been plenty of times and if the games not sold out and the weather is good I'll think about going because they should win vs the Falcons indoors.

Why would anyone want to go to Toronto to watch a game? I'll bite. #1 -- Toronto is a great international city with lots to see and do #2 -- I would make a weekend out of it and not drive back Sunday night #3 -- I want the Bills to have a homefield advantage and being able to go to a game only a couple of hours away would be awesome I'm not a fan of giving up a game at RWS, but at some point you have to accept the reality and make the best of it.

Just Jack Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Treat yourself.... http://www.rogerscentre.com/inaround/rest_lounges_sitelines.jsp NFL – Buffalo Bills vs Atlanta Falcons- December 1Doors open at 1:00 pm – tailgate snacks Buffet service starts at 2:00 pm – game time 4:05 pm All inclusive ticket $135.00 (includes buffet service, admission and taxes) That price is actually over $100 cheaper than when I went a few years ago when we played the Jets.

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) I think that it would be worth the money just to get the chance to see Rob Ford's antics in person. Edited November 18, 2013 by \GoBillsInDallas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
