Five prerequisites, all of which are attainable, will need to be met for Toronto to have a NFL franchise by 2024:
An NFL franchise will first be placed in Los Angeles once a new stadium is built there;
The plan is to have a new stadium built and an NFL franchise in Los Angeles by 2016 or 2017.
Unless the NFL changes its current ownership rules prohibiting a corporation from being the lead owner of an NFL franchise, an individual must become the lead entity in a Toronto NFL franchise bid;
The participation of Mr. Tanenbaum’s company in the construction of the Pan Am Athletes’ Village and subsequent sale of the 6,000 residential units after the 2015 Pan Am Games should enhance his capabilities to lead a Toronto bid for an NFL team by 2017.
The future ownership, location and territorial rights of the Buffalo Bills franchise must be settled;
Media reports indicate that the family of Ralph Wilson, the 93 year old owner of the Bills, will sell the team after his passing. It is probable that a family sale of the team would occur by 2024 and that the issues of ownership, location and territorial rights would be settled by then.
The construction of a new NFL-compatible stadium in Toronto;
If the Olympic Committee announces in 2017 that Toronto will host the 2024 Summer Olympics, the Toronto will get its NFL-compatible stadium by 2024 and the Toronto NFL bid group will have seven years to negotiate the purchase of an NFL franchise before the new stadium opens.
The NFL television and multi-media contracts need to be reworked to accommodate international NFL franchises.
Rogers Communications (Sportsnet) and Bell Canada Enterprises (TSN and CTV), who recently became partners with Mr. Tanenbaum in Maple Leaf Sports and Enterprises, are the Canadian rights holders for NFL broadcasts. They have successfully and cooperatively negotiated television contracts with the NFL
for many years and it would be in their best interests to provide guidance to a Toronto NFL ownership group in negotiating a workable television and multi-media agreement with the NFL by 2024.
