let the NFL have as many games in Europe as they want!

[John Fox]

To Europeans, the annual NFL Europe games are something special, a once a year event. Now, there are talks to expand it to more games, even the Super bowl! However the more games there are, the less special it will be, and, less will attend, and it will make the NFL lose money.

Nothing will be a better slap in the face to 'ol roger than that! HAHAHAHA!

I'd prefer the NFL to not have to learn this lesson you speculate on...

[d-run]

it is what it is, right coach?

Am I the only one who thinks hosting NFL games in Europe is pretty cool? This forum has shown that even a small market team like the Panthers has fans overseas. Imagine if you were such a fan, and the Panthers travelled hundreds of miles and played before you.

Are we so myopic and self-centered that we think that professional football should only be played in America? What's a few games a year overseas?

(Now the Super Bowl, on the other hand, is another story entirely. Let's keep the big game in the States.)

The "home" team doesn't really get home-field advantage for that game. Kind of unfair.

yes... what's so wrong with fans not wanting the NFL to lose it's aura and greatness by expanding and losing it's value/importance?

Are we that out of touch with reality that no matter what the case is we must expand and grow and take over and give amongst those less fortunate that we will lose everything just to give away a little something?

They should do it for a few preseason games and nothing else.

Europe will never really care about football until they get their own team.

It's even more unfair to the season ticket holders who are getting screwed out of a home game.

Traveling across the US from one coast to the other puts a strain on a team. Traveling from Charlotte to London is a 1/3 longer trip than to the West Coast. Having teams in Europe will make that a regular occurrence. Don't really mind pre-season and don't really mind regular as both teams have to make the flight. But do hate the idea of putting teams in Europe. To large a home field advantage, IMO. Yes I do know that half of Europe's game will be away and they have to travel here.

The only way you can really expand the league is if you add 8 teams. That's not going to be easy to do and will set up a scheduling nightmare...

if they want NFL in Europe, bring back NFL-Europe... seems like a no brainer to me..

[N1kkadeemuz]

The should bust up preseason games between Japan, Mexico, and England/Germany.

The SB in Europe would probably cause riots here, bad, stupid idea.

Have the Pro Bowl in Europe?

[mantal]

Pro-Bowl in Europe would probably be a great idea. Better than removing it from Hawaii to move it to Florida I'll grant you...

As a PSL owner, I'd be pissed if the Panthers ever played a home game overseas. Pissed.
