Are they guaranteed seats to the games in Toronto like home games played in Buffalo? Does anyone know what the etiquette typically would be for season ticket holders in situations like these?

Maybe Toronto and Buffalo can share the Bills. Didn't the Packers split their games between Green Bay and Milwaukee at some point?

Sox fans go to Toronto to catch Sox-Jays games all the time (it's easier than getting tickets to Fenway). Toronto is a great city, besides.

Raider fans have no problem making the 2-hour drive to San Diego when their team comes here to play the Chargers. Seems to me the border might be more of an issue than the distance.

Granted, I'm a Dallas fan in south Texas, but still... Why not broaden your market? I don't believe you're bringing something new to the people of Canada (though that's only personal thought and with no knowledge of Toronto), but if there's a market for football at that time of year, grab onto it. As far as the fans go, if they're not being charged for the game, then there's no problem. But if I'm the Bills, I find some way to make an event of the "home" game in Toronto to keep the fans happy and in the company of their fellow ticketholders and tailgaters. I’m all for it.
