The Buffalo Bills will be playing all of their home games in Buffalo for the foreseeable future, as the team and Rogers Communications have reached an agreement to terminate the annual Toronto game, team president Russ Brandon announced on Wednesday. The Bills have played one home game in Toronto since 2008, but will no longer continue the practice.

The team was already working to end the series earlier this year and managed to suspend the game this season, with Brandon announcing the decision prior to the release of the 2014 regular season schedule. Kim and Terry Pegula purchased the Bills in October and continued the process of negotiating an end to the agreement. The Pegulas even confirmed last month that negotiations were ongoing.
The Bills have been playing one home game per season at the Rogers Centre in Toronto since 2008, going just 1-5 in those games played in front of non-sellout, highly neutral crowds. In a 2013 game between the Bills and Atlanta Falcons, the announced crowd was just 38,969, well short of the stadium’s NFL capacity of 46,470.
