Ti-Cats to NFL: Take your Bills games and shove them

February 5th, 2008 Bills

TSN is reporting that the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the CFL want no part in marketing Bills tickets to their season ticket holders.

As was announced last week, the Buffalo Bills have received final clearance to hold 8 home games in Toronto’s Rogers Centre over the next five seasons. As part of the plan, 5000 tickets would be made available to Ti-Cats season ticket holders. Other reports are citing the team’s concern over ticket prices. Some seats might be going for as high as $250 per ticket, with a prepay requirement for all eight games.

Ti-Cats owner Bob Young had this to say:

“We feel that bringing NFL games to stadiums in Canada without a comprehensive agreement between the CFL and the NFL will lead to unintended consequences, not all of them good.”

Gee, ya think?

So maybe all of Southern Ontario ISN’T all a ga-ga over the Bills coming to play their games up there. Kudos to Bob Young for taking a tough stand to protect the integrity of his franchise and his territory.
