NFL to play 2 games a year in new English Premiere League Stadium starting 2018
- Thread starter Elias
- Start date
Yup, still pisses me off that I have to try to find a place to watch the Dolphin game at 7AM (Chicago time). If they are going to play these games in London, can't they at least play them in the evening over there so the fans who have supported these teams for decades, can watch the games at a normal time.
But who gives a sh!t about the fans.

What greedy pigs!!! The London games suck!! They are on in the morning and rob teams/fans of a home game.

Maybe it's just me but I'd much rather make a Jet road trip to England than dumps like Sucksboro, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and others
England will probably be great for those making the trip - I am sure you will have a blast if you are heading over there. But for those of us staying back in the states, it sucks. I think it is a 7AM start time in Chicago. All I ask of the NFL is that if they are going to do this overseas stuff, play the game int he evening in London so they are on at a normal time for the 99+% of the fans who can't make it to London.

Agree. Can't imagine what they are thinking putting these games on at 9 am. As you said 7-8 in the mid west. I won't be watching, and it's the Fins game

I'm not sure whether this announcement adds England games or just changes the venue of 2 of the 3 games already on the schedule for years to this new venue.
You'll notice that the home games are being taken from teams like Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Oakland and other franchises that normally play before half empty home stadiums anyhow. I wouldn't worry all that much about Jet, Giant, Seahawk, Patriot, Cowboy, Packer et al home games in virtually sold out venues every season

The Hotspur are moving out of White Hart Lane? Darn, I liked that place
These London games are way too disrupting for the fans and the teams. If Europe can't support their own American football league as they have previously proven, they do not deserve to have these games.

These games annoy me for only 1 reason. The majority of the fans that watch these games in London are Americans. I am happy for those die hards that live in the UK and would otherwise not be able to watch these games but the NFL is really misguided.
By luck I was in London last year for work during the Falcons and Dolphins game. Everyone I met that had a football jersey was an American....
Not sure if the sport will gain any traction there

Unfortunately, owners see football as prestige and income, and not the love of the game.
Also, being at the top doesn't mean you can ever stop, that's when you decline.

I think it's a cultural divide. We love collisions and v8's with giant exhausts. English like tea and croquet.

Maybe we could find a way to have NFL games end in a scoreless draw.
That would really boost the popularity of the sport in Europe.
