Default Re: NFL team in Toronto.... Could it actually happen?
Not going to happen without a new stadium. NFL wants 80000 seats but the Skydome (Roger's Centre... whatever) only seats 55000. Apparently they can rig something for an annual game with temporary seating to bring it close to 80 but it won't be good enough for a permanent team.

I live in Toronto and would love to see it but we will all be dead before there is an NFL team here. Godfrey has been obsessed with this for over 20 years and it's no closer to happening now then it was 20 years ago.

I would imagine there are a few U.S. markets that would see a team long before a Canadian city.
