THE TORONTO BILLS? NFL SOURCE SAYS WILSON SHOULD CONSIDER IT
Published July 11, 1997
NFL execs have "advised" Bills Owner Ralph Wilson to
"strongly consider" moving to Toronto if he decides to
relocate his franchise, according to Marty York of the
Toronto GLOBE & MAIL. Wilson has told New York state and
Erie County officials that he needs more than $60M in public
money to renovate Rich Stadium. One NFL exec, in Canada for
other matters, told York: "We never want to see a franchise
move ... But I will tell you that, if Mr. Wilson exhausts
every avenue in New York and concludes that a move must be
made, he's been told that he should give Toronto a good
look." The source said that Wilson plans to contact Sun
Media CEO Paul Godfrey, who is heading a group eyeing an NFL
franchise in Toronto, to see whether they could work
together if the Bills do move to Toronto. Wilson could not
be reached for comment (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 7/11).
