Canadian Football Activists Plan Demonstration Against NFL and Bills

On Thursday, a small group of Canadian football activists plans to march on Rogers Centre as a demonstration against the National Football League and the Buffalo Bills, who open their unprecedented eight-game series in Toronto that night.

Rogers Communications Inc. will pay the Bills $78-million over the next five seasons for the chance to create that experience in Toronto, and it has been suggested the deal could become the first step down the path to permanent relocation. That suggestion has worried a number of CFL insiders.

Fewer than 2,500 tickets remain for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Adrian Montgomery, general manager of the Bills in Toronto series. Tickets ranging in price from $134 to $184 were still being listed on Tourism Toronto's Web site late yesterday afternoon.
