Bills On Track To Sell About 55,000 Season Tickets This Season

Bills Have Already Sold 53,048 Season Tickets, Could Rank As Third-Highest In Team's History

NORTHERN EXPOSURE: In Toronto, Chris Zelkovich notes the image of Bills QB Trent Edwards has joined the "five-storey high photos celebrating the biggest stars" of the Blue Jays outside Rogers Centre, and CFL Toronto Argonauts fans "might wonder why a guy who will work at Rogers Centre once this year is getting more exposure than any of the Argos." When former Blue Jays C Gregg Zaun left the team to sign with the Orioles, Rogers "decided to replace his face with something to promote its Bills series and chose Edwards." But the Argonauts will play at the stadium 10 times in the upcoming CFL season, and QB Kerry Joseph said there "should be an Argo" depicted at the stadium. Joseph: "That is our home, too, but at the same time I'm not Mr. Rogers -- so if that's the way they want to do it, that's the way they want to do it." But Zelkovich wrote of an Argonauts player being featured, "Don't count on that happening ... unless Rogers buys the Argos (and don't count on that happening, either)." Both the Blue Jays and the Bills Toronto Series are owned by Rogers Communications, and Rogers VP/Communications Jan Innes said that the company "prefers to promote its own products." Innes: "The banners are for properties Rogers owns" (TORONTO STAR, 6/20).
