Anyone else going to be there next weekend?

I just heard the other day that the NFL is going to have 2 games in London every year coming soon. We are probably a decade away from there being an NFL team there.

Would love to go.Are you going Knight?Dublin was bidding for it too but lost out.

😄👍 yeah... Wouldn't miss it this year. Pats baby. 😃👍

2 dates from next year onwards I believe. 👍 a home team would be sweet, though I fear the practicalities would hinder the British team a little. 😃

Next year you'll get to see the Jacksonville Jaguars lose to whoever they are playing. It'll be their first sold out game in years!

You can have the Vikings. Nobody here likes them anyway.

To be fair though, American football will never be as popular as actual football.

To show an equality of fairness, who disputed the popularity of the two?

Happily adopt either team if it meant getting more games over here. 😄👍

The rumor is that you might get a couple Viking games next year while they get a new stadium built.

Yeah, the Vikings and Steelers are the second date confirmed for London next year. if they can land extra that'd be a treat. 👍

I'll be there, like every year lol..... So glad they've added a second game next year

Confirmed so far, they have a huge event going on in Trafalgar Square on Saturday to meet players, cheerleaders etc
The tailgate party before the game, has apparently been greatly improved from previous years.
Nike town on Oxford street has had the whole downstairs converted to hold and support American football apparel for all 32 teams.
Not to mention the huge support and increased followers from the 'NFL game pass'.... Nfl network channel 24/7, all games live and archived for current and previous 3 years, NFL red zone and all the other Nfl shows, for only £100 for the year (bargain... Would be an understatement)

It's good times for American football in the uk and future is looking even brighter

😳 WOW!

I hadn't realised there was as much fanfair along with it. A bit annoyed we're not making our way down until Sunday morning. :/ I'll check out NikeTown. 😃

We'll know for next year though. 👍 I feel like a kid waiting for Xmas, lol can't wait.

Stupid idea! They would put a team there first instead of LA. Second it's an American sport what's next a team in Canada, Mexico, and Africa.

I may be wrong, but I think we have played games in Canada and Mexico already.
