EmotionallyUnstable Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Just money hungry. Already overflowing with cash, and just can’t help but be greedy at the expense of the game and fan experience. Shouldn’t shock anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some things are more important than just money, but I guess that’s life. Screwing retired players w/ CTE and mangled joints over who built the game to what it is now is disgusting to me and nothing will change my mind.

That's fair but the time difference is still much better than the U.K. and Europe if there's anywhere they could expand it'd be there. I mean seriously you know what the time difference is between San Francisco and a city on the far east of South America? It's 4 hours, yeah that's fine.

Orlando Tim Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I stated when they started the 17 game schedule I believe the final goal is every team has one neutral site game a year, so 16 total games away from true NFL stadiums. I think 4 in England, 6 throughout the rest of Europe, and 3 in Asia and 3 in other portions of Americas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I would imagine the goal of the NFL is to have a franchise in London at some point and then if that works out put a full division out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty enough stability in Brazil or Argentina, and a host of other South American countries. Just not enough interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not enough interest. Not only does the interest have to be there but the economics have to be strong as well. The Phillippines has a very strong interest in NBA basketball but the NBA doesn't have many events there due to lack of money in the market. The economy at large does not have as much entertainment disposable income as the US, Canada, and Europe and in South America soccer soaks up a lot of the sports attention and money.

Scott7975 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I blame all this on the Bills Toronto series lol. I get what the NFL is trying to do but honestly I hate this entire London thing already. This is too much for players to travel like that. Couple that with Thursday games and Monday games. It's just not fair when other competitors don't have to deal with it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBFL Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) So as it stands, they have what? England, Germany and Mexico? London, Munich/Frankfurt and Mexico City…? Got to believe the next option would be possibly another European host. Maybe Italy/Rome, Ireland and France/Paris? Could even go to South America; Brazil, as there is a huge following there. Only reason I see another European market is for that reason, it’s the whole of Europe as a market. They could go China but is that on the basis of hoping to expand publicity and interest there? I have never really heard of NFL having a large following there… Edited October 8, 2023 by BBFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven50 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I am guessing its going to be Germany or Mexico. The Toronto thing was a disaster and the CFL doesn't want the NFL there. When they had the European League the German Teams always had some of the highest attendance. A lot of the military stationed there went to the games (like me).
