Would be a big gamble for someone to invest in building a team and everything that goes with it like stadium and so on. Would have to be close to the border like toronto. It would bleed money out for a while I figure because I don't see many people traveling to Canada to watch a game, and I'm not sure how Canadians would do with it after the initial hype has died off. I do think it will most likely happen though. Maybe even something like Detroit relocating if the owner decides to sell. That would at least attract the Lions die hard fans to give it a boost in the first few years.
I kinda get the feeling you dont really know Canada that well.
Ofcourse it would be Toronto. They have a stadium. Maybe you ve seen the Blue Jays on tv? Vancouverites pretend we would support one ( we also have a stadium ) but we wouldnt. The reason the Grizzlys died and the Sonics too is we dont care for basketball in these parts. The Seattle hockey team will do very well. TO and Van are very close to the border. The Bills attract many cdn fans as do the Shithawks. That infact is why TO does not have a team. The Lions ( Detroit that is, even know you dont know why I have to specify )and the Bills veto it. We ve had a football league for 60 years in Canada.
The league has had a lot of teams be in markets that aren't optimal, the bills for one since you mentioned them. A stadium can be built in less than a season, and wouldn't cost someone as much as you'd think due to selling the name, and the sponsors. You could make a team anywhere if the NFL agreed and you had the money, so no, van isn't the only imaginable place in general. It's the most logical place due to what I said above. Between your attitude you basically agreed with me....
The state of NY has about the same population as all of Canada no? Sure you could build a stadium any where but there are only 3 places in Canada to be somewhat viable. The GTO, Montreal and Vancouver. Of the 3 the only place that may support a team would be the GTO. Only a fool would try elsewhere.
