Only a matter of time with Goodell at the helm.

I don't really think it matters who's running the NFL. Just no real good reason why it won't happen eventually. Certainly not because we all need it to be on US soil.

No reason they can't play a Super Bowl in London one day. I'm shocked London hasn't started bidding on it. 

Maybe UEFA can host UCL final outside Europe? Nahhhhh 

They want regular season Football, but they R smart enough to preserve their regular season soccer games!

We need to stop with that! Use pre season, as they do!

Well, looks like the Panthers will absolutely be there in 2019.

I'll make that trip for sure.

 

funny how much of an afterthought we are in the NFL, 29/30 teams will have played in London.

Meh I think it’s us and Green Bay left and Green Bay is NFL royalty. The sale probably has a lot to do with it.

This is what I'm hearing this morning thus far :

• eagles-jags
• seahawks-raiders
• chargers-titans

nothing panthers yet...

On the bright side? My contact's advance sources were correct.

So yay me.

Because a London SB would end up 5 hours off. Inconvenient for advertisers, beer drinkers.

If the Panthers play in London... it better be one of our road games.  NO WAY I want to lose one of my games going to the stadium on Sunday.

Thank god, no london game

We are exactly the kind of team the NFL would have no qualms stealing a home game from

There are like 9 reasons why, that you actually have to host an NFL team in your city year round being at the top of the list.

I can definitely agree with that.

I think there'll be too much uproar if the Wembley hosted a SB, but look at the NFL's visibility at the design and build stages of Spurs' new stadium. You wouldn't put in extra NFL locker rooms and even turf for one or two International Series games. I'm confident a franchise will move there, and was assuming it would be Jaguars until they balled out this season.

This is a hard and fast rule? I seriously doubt this would stop them if they want it to happen.

This doesn't stop them from having 9am EST games in London, which start at 6am PST on the west coast. A 9pm GMT kickoff starts at 4pm EST and 1pm PST. Surely if they can risk a snowy Super Bowl in NYC, they can deal with those start times for one year.
