UK venues in line for NFL first.

Matt the Thrasher · 11-03-2006, 05:51 PM

The UK has emerged as front runner to host the first competetive NFL match ever to be played outside the American continent.
The NFL's 32 team owners voted last month to hold 2 regular season games outside the US from 2007.
The four leading candidates to host the first match are Canada, Mexico, Germany and the UK with Wembley, Twickenham and the Millenium Stadium all being touted as possible venues.
The NFL staged it's only competetive game to date in Mexico's Azteca Stadium in 2005 although the Chicago Bears took on the Dallas Cowboys in a pre-season game in 1986.
Back in the 80's American Football had a brief boom in Europe looks like they want to try and revive the game,anyone interrested in watching a full competetive match live.Personaly I can't stand all the stopping and starting 1 hours play takes 3 hours .

Wherever in England it tis i would go. Whatever team it is i would go. Even if its on Christmas. I WOULD GO.

Jedi Knight · 11-03-2006, 07:59 PM

if it was near Scotland i would take the family. it's not an ideal sport but it is good to take the family out for a night. there's probably more of a chance that my girls (incl the wife) would be able to follow American football copmpared with football

What is the thinking behind this? Is it to get more internatinal intrest

Matt the Thrasher · 11-04-2006, 06:07 PM

Thats right they are going to have 2 games outside the US every year from 2007.

I think so they want to spread the NFL to the four corners of the globe but I guess they'll go wherever the greatest interest is.

goldenHuddlestone · 11-10-2006, 05:22 PM

Do they already have it in canada

Matt the Thrasher · 11-13-2006, 09:03 AM

I belive they play a very similar game in Canada but it is not part of the NFL , I think the number of players in a team is different in the Canadian version.

The NFL has confirmed that the first competetive American Football game to be staged outside the continent of North America will be in the UK.

The Miami Dolphins will take on the New York Giants at the new Wembley stadium on 28 October.

Matt the Thrasher · 02-09-2007, 04:46 PM

I heard on the Radio the NFL have recieved more than half a million aplications for tickets , with 100,000 recieved in the first 20 minutes after the announcement was made so I hope you are lucky

goldenHuddlestone · 03-03-2007, 12:47 PM

Lions8 · 04-20-2007, 03:04 AM

Thats pretty cool. texas is sucking as of late so im going for the colts next year, they're my bros team, was awesome when they won the super bowl a couple months ago. Maybe the cowboys will do better next season, probly not though. London should get a nfl team though especially if theres as many fans as there sounds like.
