    About The NFL Game Being Held In London

    What are the reasons behind the move ? Money i guess ?

    Aren't fans of Miami and NY a bit pissed about playing a season game thousands of miles away ??

    Doesn't that mean that a team who should have had home advantage will be losing out. I guess Miami will get their asses kicked anyway.

    I'm gonna watch it. I just wonder what the attendance will be...

    It sounds like a publicity stunt. It's kind of bad for the local economy to lose all the people coming to the game for a weekend.

    But it's also an interesting concept, and it creates a buzz which means more advertising money

              I read that they had a lottery for the tickets that attracted a million plus so it looks like the game will be a sell-out

              But I still can't figure out why they are going to play there after they just dropped the NFL Europe league.

              They probably still have a lot of fans that watch U.S. football on television I guess.

                Yeah we do have a big tv audience for it here, but i still couldn't imagine my football (soccer) team heading out to America to play a mid-season game.


                What next, we host the Superbowl here in the UK ??
