NFL London: You Guys Good With This?

[LinvilleGorge]

Charlotte reportedly doesn't have enough hotels to even host a SB. Or so we're told

 

I don't know if the hotel thing is legit or not, but the bottom line is that Charlotte has next to no chance at a Super Bowl.  There have been 48 Super Bowls held in 24 different stadiums.  Take a look at that list and you'll see that it's dominated by domes.  The few outdoor stadiums have been in warm weather states.  The one exception?  NYC, the largest media market in North America.

 

There's literally zero chance Charlotte gets a Super Bowl with our current (non-dome) stadium.

Where is this talent coming from to expand these teams?

[shelbypanther]

You know the NFL will give Blank and Atlanta one when they get the new fuglier dome built down there.

[SCP]

I think it's stupid.

[Rise of The Hive]

Just move the Raiders there already.

Or the Jags.

[Brooklyn Bully]

The London Raiders has a nice ring to it.

^^^ This.

Doesn't seem like a realistic possibility within JR's lifetime for Charlotte to host the SB.

Wouldn't seem worthwhile to give up a home game or subject our the players to the extended travel.

I guess I'm the only who thinks a trip to London to watch the Panthers sounds awesome.

No. I would get distracted by the first dark skin woman with an accent and forget about the game. Or it would be like Euro Trip.

Scottie doesn't know.

mark cuban pretty much explained why the NFL is so hell bent on london "the NFL is Desperate" for international fans. the NFL is close to the saturation point in the states and if they want to continue to grow its going to have to be outside the states. why london of mexico or canada I dont know

[PantherFanOne]

Screw the NFL playing in London!!!!! To me this is overkill and just some more of Goodells thinking that could backfire and do harm to the NFL long term.

As long as it counts as a road game, rock on.

I 100% understand the reason the NFL is working towards expanding to Europe but it doesn't mean I necessarily like it. As mentioned earlier, they have just about topped out at the US market so it makes logical business senses. From what I understand their goal is to locate teams in different cities throughout Europe eventually. As it grows though, teams will have to travel back and forth to Europe which just sounds like a logistics nightmare. I am sure it would have to coincide with teams bye weeks. 

 

 

Roaring Riot is right though. For people who have the funds to do it, seeing your team play in Europe sounds awesome.
