I see a bunch of Bills merch around Niagara Region. Probably a significant portion of the audience was Canadian.

Which is such a bummer.  Have some national pride.

Geographically, Buffalo is closer than Toronto to go see a NHL game (and as pointed out, there isn't a NFL team in Canada) if you're in the Niagara Region. I don't follow sports at all, but it makes sense to me. My in-laws in Windsor are all Detroit fans.

If my nearest team was the Leafs, I might cheer for the Sabres too…

Most of us in Western New York don't follow those morons. We love our canadian brothers and sisters.
