Oh goodie! The NFL will be playing in Toronto. I absolutely love the NFL, but bringing it to Toronto will be about as much fun as going to your mother-in-law’s during Stanley Cup game 7 to help her pick paint colours for her living room.
Why?
1) NO tailgate parties. Well, they have a “tailgate party” in Toronto, if you can call it that. About 28 parking spaces, but be careful about barbeques and liquid refreshments. Not allowed, too much fun.
2) Concession costs. Only about a zillion dollars for a drink and a bag of peanuts.
3) Ticket costs. Only about ten zillion dollars to get in. (for one person)
4) NO atmosphere AT ALL. Just the usual stare down and warning from security guards if you start to actually have fun. (plus, they guy beside you will ask to you to “hush” because he is trying to read messages on his cell phone.)
5) You can't buy real buffalo style chicken wings in Toronto.
So, you can take a bus to Buffalo, have a rip roaring great time tailgating, taking in a football game with REAL fans. Or, go to Toronto and relive memories of your kindergarten teacher following you around the whole time reminding you to “be careful”, “don’t eat too much” and “use your inside voice please”.
Did I also mention it’s actually cheaper to take a bus to Buffalo, than it is to see a game in Toronto?
Ya, that’s a real tough choice.
