The International Series game at Wembley later this month is unlikely to be played before a sell-out Wembley crowd, BBC Sport has learned. Previous games have always sold out, but this year the NFL's managing director in the UK, Alistair Kirkwood, is expecting a "mid-70,000s" crowd. Kirkwood said a number of factors were responsible for this year's game not selling out. Perhaps the biggest reason, he said, was the long-running dispute between the NFL and the players' union, which threatened the entire 2011 season before finally being resolved during the summer. This meant tickets for the Bears' clash with the Buccaneers only went on sale on 11 September - many months later than in previous years. Source: Ian Shoesmith, BBC Sport
hahahah the british people get one game a year and even they wont pay to see the bucs :icon_cheesygrin:
Ok Goodell, it time to stop screwing one team a year out of an actual home game by putting it in London.
The funny thing is, Goodell pulled the plug on the NFLE, bc the league wasn't making any profit, but I wonder how many profit the games at London are making, if they ain't sold out...
this sounded like a good idea at first to have 2 teams play over seas but now that we see the games are not getting sold out we should stop playing over there. All its doing is screwing a team out of a home game. live and learn
