Punching Bag Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Madrid wants to organize an NFL game at the new Bernabéu before 2025 https://as.com/futbol/2021/06/05/primera/1622863090_032457.html Quote One of the great events that the board has set itself the objective of organizing is an NFL game , the American football league in the United States and the sports competition that generates the most money in the world (13,000 million dollars per season according to ESPN), as advanced by El Confidencial . The competition leaders have their eyes set on Europe in general and Spain in particular, where their sport has grown exponentially in recent years. Madrid wants to take advantage of this and has offered the new Bernabéu , which is right now the preferred stage of the NFL to carry out an international match, although it is not the only option that is contemplated in Spain, according to sources close to the white club have informed this newspaper. It would be something similar to what the competition does in London at the Tottenham stadium , where it organizes a match every year. Note: content of most links is in Spanish so if the you can not read it I suggest using Google translate. Quote Germany, closer than Spain Before it takes place in Spain, the NFL wants to bring a game to Germany . As announced by the American media Sports Business Journal , the idea is that between 2022 and 2023 one will be organized at the Allianz Arena in Munich , the home of Bayern . According to audience data, the two million Germans who watched the last Super Bowl have motivated managers to accelerate the meeting, something similar to what is happening in Spain, although in the Iberian country the growth of American football is still a little slower.

I'm sure the NFL will mix it up when they have games in Germany. The NFL fans there will want big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL fans here want big games too. The purpose with the Jags was they were trying to build a fan base for a single team because expansion to the UK remains a long term goal. To an extent it has worked, the Jags from having basically no UK fan base now have a pretty strong one. But we have had almost every team in the UK now (think it is just the Packers who haven't been). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a kick out of hearing the local English fans announce picks for the Jacksonville Jag-U-ars during the NFL Drawft. They make it sound so regal.

Their fan base would fit inside. 1 hour ago, Mark Vader said: I get a kick out of hearing the local English fans announce picks for the Jacksonville Jag-U-ars during the NFL Drawft.

So if I made the pick I would say Jag-U-ars it is just the way thay we pronounce that word but I am a northerner with flat vowels so it would very much be the Draft rather than the Drawft or the Drarft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In British English (and Spanish) a billion is a million million, i.e., 1 Billion British = 1 trillion in American. The article is slightly misleading --NFL is the richest league in the world but the revenue from the four richest European soccer leageues adds up to more than 13B (at least before the pandemic). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traditionally this is absolutely right. In the UK we have definitely started to adopt the US definition of a billion - they are almost used interchangeably in public discourse now. It is one of the rare cases where I think my friends there over the pond have diverged from the Empire and have improved things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
