Stripes Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Awesome, congrats man. I think it's cool to have a game out there that means something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 The NFL is thinking about adding a 17th game to every team's sked & have all of them play one overseas game a year. They're talking about having multiple games in the same venue, so London might host 4 games a year.

UK Bengal Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 yeah Ive seen that its in the early stages but I think it would be a great idea if it can be worked out. The teams dont lose a home game and the possibility of extra income and merchandise sales means th NFL can say they are truly a world wide sport.whats next a european NFL franchise ?

HoosierCat Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 whats next a european NFL franchise ?Not quite, but there have been some rumors kicking around that as his "legacy" Ralph Wilson wants to establish the first international NFL franchise by moving the Bills to Toronto.

It'd probably have a huge following quickly too, being the only Canadian NFL team for millions of Canadians to root for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto is basically next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishbengal Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I had been 1 of the few selected from the 500,000 applications for tickets in the first lottery so can buy them in 6 days time. Congrats man, hope you have a real blast - the new stadium is meant to be fantastic. Make sure your wallet is loaded though as it aint gonna be cheap inside - reports for the FA Cup Final on Saturday are stating £10 ($20) for a programme and £2.50 ($5.00) for a cup of coffee. With half a million people making applications I think it underlines the strength of interest of gridiron in the UK, - and probably even more so in Germany. I think this 17th game notion has got some real mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
