7. Toronto

Toronto has hosted Buffalo Bills home games (regular season and preseason) in the past, amid talk of that franchise possibly relocating there. The talk of that move has mostly gone way, with the Pegula family taking ownership of the Bills, but Toronto still looks like a very strong market for NFL fans even if the CFL is more of a priority there.

Rogers Centre is home of the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts, and major league baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays, with American football capacity (54,000 seats) to accommodate Super Bowl ticket sales. So the venue exists to host the game north of the border, in a city close to an NFL market, which has to mean something to the league in the bigger picture.

Toronto has a team in three major American sports, with the NBA’s Raptors and NHL’s Maple Leafs as well as the Blue Jays. The ship has probably sailed for a NFL team to be there as its primary home, via relocation or eventual expansion, but Toronto definitely has the makings of a possible Super Bowl host city.
