Toronto is such a weird market for football. The numbers don't lie, there is clearly interest in the game given the reasonably healthy CFL and NFL TV numbers, yet there is such minimal interest in attending games.
Pretty well every football team/event in Toronto in the last 30 years has either flopped (basically the American imports i.e., Bills series, arena football, International Bowl) or struggles mightily (the Canadian leagues i.e., CFL, U Sports).
