Roger Goodell says NFL may add new international host for a game in 2024

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…

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).

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.

I'd GLADLY give up Thursday night games for Sunday mornings. 😁

 

I REALLY do not like Thursday night games!

Really cool concept, I think that would be pretty cool and equitable for teams.

 

I guess my question is what 15 places would you go that you don't already play?

 

Then when you do, how would you know people actually show up?


Cities without NFL teams: Birmingham, Ala, Biloxi, Miss, San Antonio, Oakland, Portland, Ore, Salt Lake City, Boise, etc

If they can do Mexico City, they can probably do Rio de Jinero and be safe. That would be a good spot or maybe Dublin.

I like watching other crap teams play Thursday night,  mostly in the background. 

 

I hate it when the Bills are on Thursday, even Thanksgiving.

I agree, Spain would be next imo... Brazil is just a bit unstable for me to see a game there. Mexico is a push too...


Yep.  The crime rate in Brazil is substantial as is Mexico.  Besides, if we’re being honest, this is about $ and extending the brand.  The SES and crime rates are much more stable in Spain, Germany, and England.

I used to like the Thanksgiving day game, but the last couple of years have been a jinx. A few years without would be fine with me as well.😉

The Players Association has to draw a line in the sand. The Thursday games are so hard on the players. The greed of the NFL is just jaw dropping.
