Sadly it’s to late for that, corporate greed is the priority, it is considered to be way more important than the me’s and you’s off this world. There is only one way to strike back... and that’s in their wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I hope not. I really want to go to this game in Arizona. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next Japan & Canada. Yeah ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 There are a lot of Bills fans here that have been waiting for this game. Playing it in Mexico would suck but I think there is a good chance of it happening because the Bills also travel to Vegas and that is only a 4.5hr drive from here. I can see the NFL doing this knowing the Bills fans will prob travel from all over the southwest to Vegas making sure that game is sold out.

BillsfaninSB Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 This sucks for Cardinal and Bills fans in the SW. But if I had to pick an international game to play this would be it. Away game in neutral stadium and this side of the Atlantic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly i know it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but that's why i refuse to watch any of the games that aren't here in the states, i know by me not watching does nothing for the over all TV ratings but it makes me feel as if i'm doing something if for no one else but me !! Kind of a silent revolt against the establishment ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good go though, ? the AZ fans aren’t going either.. and that is the point. Their home game is taken from them as will be a Bills home game as well in the future, you gonna fly to Stuttgart Germany for that Bills home game in the future? That too is the point. Remember Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Sounds good. I'd rather have a neutral field for an away game.

whatdrought Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 So there's no reason to think it's us over any of the 7 other teams they host? Will be interesting to see who it is, but we've also been rumored for London and I don't know that they'd do both. My biggest reason for disliking the idea (as one who doesn't care about the location as I don't attend games) is the player safety element. They cancelled the MC game last year cause of field conditions, so that's something to be weary about. Also, the altitude is a B word there. I know Smoke has sickle cell anemia, but I'm not sure if altitude has ever bothered him like it has others. This is a really intriguing part of the article: Quote “Two years ago when the NFL awarded Super Bowl LVII to Arizona and State Farm Stadium, we understood the requirement of hosting an international game before 2023,” Cardinals chairman and president Michael Bidwill said. I never thought about the League leveraging SB location like this, but it makes sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team/owner in the league would jump at the chance to host a SB at the cost of a home game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
