Default Re: NFL team in Toronto.... Could it actually happen?

With the recent news of CFL executives rumoured to be searching for an NFL franchise, I wonder if it is actually possible for an NFL team to end up in Toronto. I don't think there is any doubt regarding the potential market, as Toronto is one of the largest cities in North America, however, there seem to be many questions that need answering... Would the Rogers Centre be a suitable facility to house an NFL franchise, or would a new stadium have to be built? Would a Toronto team be able to secure a lucrative TV deal? What about the CFL? Would an NFL franchise completely ruin the CFL, or could the two co-exist?

4. Regarding a lucrative TV deal, I have no doubt that stations in Canada would pony up to buy the rights to games.

Adding to what VeeCee said:
NFL teams don't sell their rights to regular season games individually. The NFL sells them as a whole. And three networks have already ponied up for a piece of it...TSN, Sportsnet and CTV (TSN and CTV being the same company). One of them would easily buy the right to any preseason games.
