arthur75 415 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Not a fan of regular season games being across the pond. I know its always about money but it would be nice if they thought about the fans and season ticket holders. If they want to play across the pond make it a preseason game. Like maybe the last or second preseason game. But at least we know where us as fans stand. If they could make more money somewhere else they will be there. We are replaceable.

WichitaZRide 321 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 NFL just needs to figure this out.... it should be easy enough. There's London, Berlin ,Munich, and Mexico City already as known places to have games. There are 9 Bye weeks in which someone has a bye, so call it 8 due to the travel and the mandatory bye after an international game. Make it 8 home, 8 away, and 1 neutral site international game every season. Id have to think logistically it would be easy to figure out a way to get 16 games in 4 venues over an 8 week period. Actually, I think london has had games at two different venues, so that opens up another. Not enough venues still? There's gotta be a deal that can be made with places like Rio De Jinero, Barcelona, Montreal, Toronto, Rome, Sydney, etc. This seriously feels like they are making it harder than it needs to be. Its not a disadvantage to those what lose a home game, and you would think this would help expand that global market. Maybe I'm just ignorant, but i'd really think that there would be no issue finding 16 venues worldwide to host one game per year. Even just 12 since i think London has done 3-4 for awhile now.
