NFL approves deal to play games outside US

[Sgt PSN]

this is stupid. I can understand if football was like basketball or baseball with alot of games, but this is ridiculous. wonder what the players think? I mean who cares what they think...they make millions

And it's not like they are paying for travel expenses either.  All expense paid trips to Europe for millionaires is the shtein, son!


Looking at the way the league is approaching this, it doesn't look like a bad idea.  So the Eagles will lose 1 home game like every 16 years or something.  Wow, what a total ripoff.  The NFL/participating teams stand to make a financial killing on this because I'm guessing that the games would be played in European soccer stadiums, most of which seat over 100,000 people if I'm not mistaken.

Stop being logical.  It will not be tolerated.

Only a couple actually. Wembley, if they ever finish rebuilding it, will seat around 80,000.

The Mexican venue is the only one likely to be significantly larger than a typical NFL stadium. I would assume that the NFL would try to get Wembley in the UK, Olympic Stadium or the Rogers Centre in Canada, and Olympiastadion or some of the other large NFL Europe arenas in Germany.
