There was alot of reports this year throughout the year that Toronto will be getting an NFL franchise in the near future. And doesn't T.dot get a regular season game next season?

How would you guys feel if toronto got a team?

There were a rumor at some point in the past 6 months that the Bills would be in Canada within 5 years.

Congratulations Ayresd and Benet on getting tickets, I tried but wasn't as lucky as you guys. Although I wanted to go by the time you add in accommodation, flights, food and beer money, your talking about £200 minimum. I could still end up going as I believe there are still tickets left to go on sale so here's hoping.
BTW if I was German I would be mightily pissed off that the game went to London bearing in mind that 5 out of 6 teams in NFL Europe are from there, one of them replacing the team from London ironically because of poor attendance. OK NFL Europe is not as popular as the real deal but still a kick in teeth to them IMO.

They said they had so much demand they believe they could esially have sold 10-11 times the tickets that they have.

That is a lot of people.

sounds like a big profit margin if you wanted to sell ticks.

long way to travel to put their towels down on the seats before the game kicks off
;D
They'll be ok though as the next game in Europe is bound to be in Germany - I'm guessing maybe Frankfurt ?
Still I'll consider it as payback for the way they want to dominate the sport in Europe
