It may be more about the NFL looking to capitalize on a new market, but believe me Ralph is fully cognitive and behind the idea. For many years he was completely dedicated to keeping the Bills in Buffalo, but over the last few years he has hinted at moving the team or selling the team, which would more than likely result in a move.
It is not the drive to Toronto that is burning us - I'll be driving through an north Friday & back again on Sunday and I spend a great deal of time in Hamilton (a little bit more than a half way to Toronto from my home). It is only an hour and a half drive - Bills fans regularly drive much farther than that to away games.
As a person born and raised in WNY I can tell you that Buffalo fans are quite used to getting the royal screwjob. Look at the 4 90's superbowls, the '99 Stanley Cup, countless ref's calls in favor of opposing teams in football & hockey. We are like abused children - we don't expect a fair deal anymore. And still we sell out hockey games and football games, not by corporations buying out all the seats because real people buy the tickets. But this latest deal with the Bills playing in Toronto for such a high ticket price is a bit much to swallow.
