No

The NFL’s current model works perfectly and they will not change it. The owners simply won’t allow a team in Canada. Buffalo and Seattle would be against it because it would cut into their revenue share and the other owners will simply vote in their favour. Regardless of how many people want it. Have you seen the new stadiums they’re building in LA and Vegas??? Multi billion dollar state of the art buildings. For a new team to relocate here, at the LEAST the NFL would expect a brand new stadium and Vancouver simply doesn’t have the economic muscle from big corporations to get that done.
