Bills to play games in Toronto

Sources from ESPN have said that the Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with the NFL that will alow them to play eight games in Toronto over the next five years. An official announcement is expected to come next week.

The Bills will reportedly play a regular season game at the Rogers Centre every year for the next five seasons. They will also play three preseason games in Toronto over the next five years. The games will not interfere with the CFL season. The Toronto Argonauts play at the Rogers Centre.

Season ticket-holders for the Argonauts as well as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will have first shot at buying the 8-game package. Bills season ticket holders will then have a shot through a lottery to purchase the rest of the tickets.
