When the Bills lost an AFC East home game to a neutral field in Toronto, they were understandably upset about not having a home field advantage. Well, now they’re trying to find a way to get it back, signing a petition demanding officials in Toronto open the Rogers Centre’s retractable roof to better simulate the conditions at Orchard Park’s Ralph Wilson Stadium.

(This man wants Toronto to open the Rogers Centre roof. Seriously.)

Yes, you read that right. Given a brief reprieve from an area constantly assaulted with some of the nation’s hardest winters, Buffalo fans are insisting the cold be brought in, much to the chagrin of the Dolphins and their fans, who, according to the ASSOCIATED PRESS, were ecstatic at getting out of a traditionally frigid date in upstate New York.

Better yet! You’re not just buying one seat, lucky hosers. That’s the price for all eight games (three preseason and five regular season) over the next five seasons. Each. And you have to buy tickets for all eight games. No exceptions.

We believe how Toronto fans of the Bills must feel about the deal now that they’ve seen more of the fine print below where the Devil NFL made them sign:

The BUFFALO NEWS has a piece today that is, for everyone outside of Western New York, a little amusing and perplexing.
