On Thursday's announcement, the Buffalo Bills said they are seeking approval to play a preseason and at least one regular-season game in Toronto as part of the franchise's attempt to expand its market base beyond western New York.

"The team hopes to capitalize on the increasing interest of fans in the Canadian market by playing a regular-season game in Toronto," the Bills announced.

The Bills would like to play a preseason game in Toronto next year, and then play a home game during the regular season by 2009. The games would be played at Rogers Center, a downtown stadium with a retractable roof that serves as home to the Blue Jays and the Canadian Football League Argonauts.
