So the Dolphins and Bills played yesterday at the Rogers Center in Toronto and I found out why. Apparently the Bills made double the money in ticket sales by having the game in Toronto instead of having it in Buffalo. So...how long until the Bills permanently move to Toronto?

Rogers (my company I work for who also own the former skydome now rogers center used for baseball) have been thinking of buying them and this game was also a testing of waters. Nose bleade tickets where 150$. I couyld have got a bit of a discount but ouch still

From a financial standpoint I can understand a move to Toronto. Toronto is a much bigger market and has a lot more money than a rustbelt city like Buffalo, NY.

true but hey Buff pointed out the Tax thing here. Some players may not like the higher taxess. now mind you your taxes off the paycheque realya re not that diffrent (trust me I know lol worked both Canada and Us) the kicker is really the taxes when you go to the store and now also unlike even earler this year the Canadian $ is 80cents the US $.
but hey no problem having another team here.

I honestly would have no idea how the income tax thing would work. I mean, lets say the Bills do move to Toronto. I can understand any Canadian citizens on the team being taxed like other Canadians but how about American citizens who live in the US who play on the team? They are already paying US income tax.

I worked in the Us and payed Us income tax, you work in Canada you pay that's it. there are ways around it but in the end I realy don't think it will be to much of a issue but for some players they may not like that crap
