NFL To Add A Second Game In The United Kingdom?

With the huge success that has come from the NFL hosting regular season games in London over the past two years, there has arisen consideration for a second game to be added in time for the 2010 season. Commissioner Roger Goodell said on Tuesday this second game could be played in London or possibly another location in the United Kingdom. Goodell stated, "The fan reaction we've had in London has been extraordinary. We would like to feed that passion," Goodell said after speaking at the Charlotte Touchdown Club. "We have a great fan base in the UK. There have been discussions of taking the second game and playing it in another market in the UK. That's something that we'll evaluate."

Goodell needs to stop wasting the money of americans who pay for the tickets of these games that should be played in AMERICA!!! I'm fine with trying to spead american football to the world but not regular season games, maybe preseason games but not when it really counts and it costs season ticket holders 80 dollars or so per ticket.

 

I'd love to see Philly play in person .

 

Here's an idea, Roger. Why don't you play the whole 256 regular season games, all the play-offs, the Super Bowl, and the Probowl in freaking London and get this over with? :icon_rolleyes:

 

How can he believe that having a second game in London would be more valuable than having one in Berlin?

As much as I love having the game here, one is enough (Unless the second is a permanent Rams fixture )!

 

I hate everything about this league playing games in other countries! I hate it!

 

I understand one game, but 2 in the UK? If you're going to do 2 international series games, you have to do one out in Berlin or some crap.

 

BRING THE NFL BACK TO MEXICO, GODDAMMIT!!!!!

 

Screw off to Berlin

 

so more Americans living in Europe will get a chance to catch a live NFL game? Great.

once again, how is this expanding the fan base again?

 

Roger, Roger, Roger

STOP! The National Football League is OUR National Football League. I understand wanting a global game with international fan base, but if you're doing that, go with preseason games or cal this the IFL or something.

 

this is stupid

 

this times like a thousand.

 

Agreed

 

I'm hoping they bring some NFL games back to Cleveland this year.

 

The NHL has teams from two nations a02:.

 

So does the MLB:icon_smile:

 

And the NBA :icon_confused:

 

Godell already said this during the SB and that he plans to locate a team at London. He's going to do it, no matter what.

 

Like Garnett said, welcome to the IFL...
