Chris Jordan of Asbury Park Press reports:
Bon Jovi’s music is getting bounced out of Buffalo.
A group of Buffalo Bills fans called 12th Man Thunder are upset with the intent of Jon Bon Jovi to move the Bills to Toronto if he and his Toronto-based group are successful in purchasing the franchise. They’ve created “Bon Jovi Free Zones” in the region and so far more than 60 locales and businesses have signed up as a protest against the possible move.
There was no Bon Jovi music playing at the Mandy’s Cafe on Clinton Street in Buffalo, a Bon Jovi Free Zone, on Wednesday.
“We love Bon Jovi and we love his music, but we don’t want the Bills to leave,” said Mandy’s Cafe bartender Kim Brown. “We’re No. 1 fans.”
The group’s goal is to have 70,000 petitioners — that’s a sell-out at the Bills’ current home, Ralph Wilson Stadium.
“The fans are fired up and standing behind any ownership team dedicated to keeping the Bills in (Western New York) while Mr. Jon Bon Jovi has made it clear that he would like to purchase the team, and move it to Toronto,” reads a statement on www.12thmanthunder.com.
Bon Jovi is part of a group with Maple Leaf Sports and entertainment executives Larry Tanenbaum and Tim Leiweke who are in the market to purchase the Bills after the death of owner Ralph Wilson. Groups that include Donald Trump and former Bills’ quarterback Jim Kelly are also in the running.
The Bills are valued at $870 million.
The Sayreville-born Bon Jovi is a professed football fan and the former owner of the Philadelphia Soul arena football team.
His son played for Notre Dame football last year.

Yes…they do say this on their website…”Mr. Jon Bon Jovi has made it clear that he would like to purchase the team, and move it to Toronto”…however I have not found ONE interview– written, audio or video–where this was said. I’d sure like to know where their info came from!!!! The old saying comes to mind. Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face!!
Trust me, I really believe Roger Goodell & the rest of the owners won’t allow them to move to Toronto. Keep a sharp eye out on Donald Trump….he did own the forgotten USFL’s New Jersey Generals and has a huge interest in the Buffalo Bills. Joe in The Cuse
Why would you move an American football team to Canada?
So much for a jersey boy.
He’s a poser and always has been.
Good start if ya ask me…..Justin Beiber,NEXT!
Buffalo banning Bon Jovi? Think it’s time to move to Buffalo.
