The Bills have cancelled their Toronto game this year due to lack of Canadian support. Why not play a game is the Syracuse dome? As the Bills suck so much taxpayer money from all over the state, why don't they regionalize? Talk of a new stadium in Buffalo is just ridiculous. "The Bills" could have a potential fan base of 4 million people instead if 1.1 million for the "Buffalo" Bills.

It would be nice if they played at the Carrier Dome. I don't know if the seating capacity would be enough in order for the Bills to play a regular season game there though.

I think the support for the team is regional currently stretching from CNY into Southern Ontario and NW Pennsylvania.

The Steelers actually encroach into the Southern Tier, according to this map, and the Bills are pretty solidly western NY. In a sense, I hope this map isn't all that accurate, because my favorite team, the Jets, have the smallest geographical area of any NFL team, by far:

Crazy to see the Steelers in OR, NC and SC, and Green Bay in Alaska.

Interesting map! Thanks for sharing. It is wonderful how you always back up your statements with a source rather than some who would make up information from thin air. You are right about the Steeler's presence in the Southern Tier rather than the Bills. As difficult as it is to agree with what you just said because I see Bills practice in my town all the time and I want to see them do well.

I root for the Bills whenever they aren't playing the Jets. That's a bit counter-intuitive since they're in the same division, but I love the underdog. Giants over Eagles too but I'm not a NFC fan.

I'm sure that the Steelers dominate All of Western PA, but you do get some people from NW PA that go to the Bills games and WFFN out of Erie and WBRR out of Bradford carries Bills games: Radio Network | Buffalo Bills

So, there seems to be a bit of a following in that area of PA.

It is wonderful to see a respectable member like you who is not biased especially when people are talking about sports!!

Those minute amount of people from SW PA can afford to go to the Bills game due the property taxes saving by living in Pa versus NY (just kidding....).

Have you been to Bills games in the skybox? Do you live in Rochester or have you been to their practice in Pittsford?

So, you aren't going to answer the question......No big deal. Just wondering if you really have an interest in the sport or team.
