    Sounds exciting...I'm going to be there, Gangnam style....not.

    They are truly grasping at straws.

    Nice commercial with you and your wife BTW. I didn't know it was you until it was pointed out here on the forum. Very well done.

    Why the heck is that dude the size of the players? I guess if they want a full house, they may only get it for halftime. And those group discounts?? I think they need to do better than that.

    I wonder what the announced crowd will be. Will they dare try to announce a larger crowd than for the Grey Cup even though we all know that they will have handed out tens of thousands of tickets for free?

    I think we know their general routine by now.

    I'm dying to know if this thing gets renewed, or if they're even negotiating. No media speculation or word from Rogers in months.

    I had thought Rogers would have wanted to make the Bills announcement in the days before the Grey Cup, to give all the media something to talk about. Which makes me think the "negotiations" aren't going so well. Rogers did say a few months back that they didn't want any preseason games next time. My belief is that one of the main reason the Bills signed on...was selling 3 preseason games to Rogers for $29 million. If Rogers now wants only regular season games, the price will go up...not down as Rogers has demanded.

    But the money is probably not the defining factor. Rogers had revenues of $12.4 billion last year. $30 million to plant grass at Skydome to evict the Argos...or $50 or $100 million to Ralph Wilson for a few Bills games...will put little dent in their pocketbook.

    I think Rogers would prefer to walk away from Bills, finding some excuse to save face. It's just been too difficult to fill Skydome, even with thousands of free tickets given away each game. This series was supposed to prove how much Toronto loves the NFL, but instead has become a money-losing embarrasment for Rogers...which has affirmed Toronto as part of the Buffalo regional market. Another detraction for Rogers is the NFL has blacked-out the previous 2 Bills games in Toronto, which has cut into Rogers TV ratings, adding to their financial losses.

    All bs and that gangbang style crap can go away anytime now. This fool will be the answer some of lame music trivia in 20 years as the one crap hit wonder on 2012. I don't know about any one else but I didn't know any Bills fans in TO. I knew plenty of NFL fans but none cheered for them.

    NOW it seems the NFL configuration for the Dome is only 45,300, however they have claimed over 50,000 a number of times, even with all the empty sections. Now its 45,300. I wonder if the Fan 590 Rogers Prime Time will do a whole segment on the NFL lying about their seating numbers, like they did for the Argos

    When i read the article i start to wonder about their numbers as the NFL has a smaller field and the endzone, their cap should be higher then the grey cup game. I like the fact how they state that this game will not have to be paper downed. If they do not get 45300 then next year, the number will go to 35000 for a sold out game.

    Any way you slice this, fans sure aren't lined up for blocks for NFL tickets like Stephen Brunt promised back in 2007. Furthermore, high ticket prices were blamed for poor ticket sales in previous years but ticket prices are much lower now and they are still struggling to sell tickets. It is interesting that they seem to have lowered capacity as well as mentioned by others.

    Yes this is also being reported by a reliable source on another site.

    Not sure if Brunt said exactly that, but Ted Rogers definitely said it first.
