St. Louis Bills?

I know Ralph Wilson thought so, when he arranged to play one game a season in Toronto.

However, the games were sparsely attended for various reasons and the series stopped.

The primary reason why I think the Bills games in Toronto got less and less support is the team is the BUFFALO Bills.  Most NFL fans in the GTA ( Greater Toronto Area ) aren't Bills fans.  The novelty of going to an NFL game with teams they don't root for wore off.   Other than the Bills fans in Ontario, some from the Buffalo area,  and fans of the opposing team,  there was little interest in people going to a Bills game in Toronto year after year.  

If the Bills move to Toronto,  people in the GTA will have a local team to support that identifies as Toronto.  It's not close to a guarantee for success.  But this is a large market that has much more familiarity with the NFL than London last decade.
