This was a very BAD idea from the start! I have watched every Bills game since 1973, attended most “home” games, and I have been a season ticket holder since 1989. Like a dumb a**, I dropped $5K for 4 seats for the entire series. I thought I’d go to a few games and sell the other games. I couldn’t even give the tickets away for free!
The experience was very poor. I have gone to NFL games in many cities. There was always excitement in the air. Not in Toronto! I love the city, but it is not an NFL city. Traveling to the game takes hours. Parking (if you can find it) is outrageous! The game-day experience is, well, nothing good. Sight-lines are very poor. The venue is not set-up for football. Everyone (fans and Rogers Centre personnel) are very polite and respectful. The ONLY good thing about the events are the half-time shows.
It is really not a Bills “home” game. However, if the Bills can “sucker” $8M from Rogers for a game then I guess it is worth it to the organization. I’ll be watching any future “Toronto Series” games on TV from home. I’d rather spend my money to go to Miami, Cleveland, or Denver to watch the Bills play an “away game”.
Nice try by Rogers and the Bills to try to make it work though.
