London here we come

We'll probably then have a Thursday game afterwards.

Do you already know it’s going to be in October? And it would be Sunday at like 10am eastern time right (3pm local)?

It just hit me that we likely never were in consideration to lose a home game for this one.

 

No way they take that revenue away from a guy who just bought the team a year ago, we probably were always going to be the away team for this game just because of that alone.

 

Would be really cool if they decided to not do it in London, but play it in Manchester United’s stadium since the Glazers own them too.  

 

Absolutely zero chance the people who run United would ever allow it to happen, but it would be cool.

If you knew about how the glazers run United they'd do anything for income

I know how Man Utd is run better than anyone else on this site, there is no chance they would do it and risk tearing up that field.  I work with them all the time and was just over there a month ago actually, they wouldn’t even consider it.

 

I would love it if they did though as I’d likely get a free ticket in a suite to the game, but I could never see it being considered, let alone happen.

Man I'm not looking forward to that long drive to England.

Ron can stand stoic next to the Royal guard before the game and blend in perfectly. 

I can see a member of the Royal Guard telling Rivera to lighten up.

I think the NFL should stop with these international games. A team loses a valuable home game to go play in another country. A divisional game at that. Glad it's not the Panthers losing a home game.  How many people from Europe even really care about American football anyway? Anytime I talk to a foreign person about American football they just talk about how it's a sport for fat people or how boring it is

I don't understand all the angst about playing in London. It's not that big of a deal really. Plus we don't even lose a home game while the Bucs have to take one on the chin.

So would the Roaring Riot package be the weekend or a week? Im wondering...

[cookinwithgas]

Been waiting for this for a long time. I wonder what percentage of spectators for these games are people flying over for them?

word is TB had to give up a home game to London to get SB55 played there.

It won't be white Hart Lane, that's been demolished and Tottenham hotspurs are building a new stadium which should have been completed by now but has been delayed. 

Yeah, sorry, lazy use of language on my part. The new stadium is actually on the same site as the old White Hart Lane (with some extension), but you're right that it won't be named that. The current working title is Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but I'm sure there will be a naming rights deal to follow.

Regardless, I'd still much rather go to Wembley where all of out ticket chances will improve markedly 

[Panthro]

Perhaps.

Better start flying more
