Orchard Park, NY (Sports Network) - The Buffalo Bills will not play a
preseason game in Toronto this summer because of a scheduling conflict at the
Rogers Centre.
The Bills will still play a regular-season game at the Toronto venue during
the 2012 campaign and is trying to extend the original five-year agreement to
continue the series that first began in 2008.
"We are currently working with Rogers Communications to extend our agreement
to play Bills games at Rogers Centre," said Bills CEO Russ Brandon in a
statement announcing the team's ticket prices for 2012. "Our core goal is to
continue to regionalize our franchise and continue our series in Toronto which
has served us so well."
The Bills began playing games in Toronto in 2008, matching up against the
Steelers in the preseason and the Dolphins during the regular season. The team
has played a regular-season game at Rogers Centre each year since and also had
one preseason game in the Canadian city in 2010.
