London 2018?

[SuperBowlBound]

The NFL normally announces the teams that are selected to go to London during December. We’re halfway through and still nothing. 

A report earlier this year said they want to get the remaining six teams that haven’t been over there.

Two questions, do we believe we are going and will the NFL take away a home game from us?

@RoaringRiot or @Jeremy Igo, any insight to this?

Saw somewhere that they pushed this year's announcement to mid January. 

I'm already working on the tailgate spot for this game. It's going to be a banger.

And my prediction is we do go next year and it's our AT Eagles game that's moved to  London.

That would be fantastic. I would not go to Philly but I’d definitely do London.

I wonder if the NFL might say it wouldn't be prudent to have us go in 2018 with new ownership and management.

I would only go to Philly because I lived there for three years and I would just go to the game with my friends up there. I'm not taking a group up there. I'm all set on that....

You’re a true man of the people, protecting us from the Philly freaks!

Panthers at eagles would be a marquee game.  Couldn't see it wasted on London.

They're two of the five teams (pretty sure it's 5) that haven't gone. But yes, this was my prediction before the season. Could certainly changed based on their 2017 performances. But I'm gonna ride it out ;)

If that's the case, I may be taking my first Riot trip. Incognito of course.  I'm with Squirrel though, I just can't see that game being moved.

If it doesn't then let's go to PHL.

I don't think it's a waste to put any game in London. It's still televised here. One of the four games this year kicked off at 1pm EST, so I don't see why they couldn't put a potential marquee game over there. 

In fact, if they really want the game to be popular in the UK, they need to have meaningful football there, so I'd be supportive of any of our games being played in London. As long as it's not permanently.

Would be a expensive trip. Looking at airfare between $1100 to  $1500 roundtrip. Hotels are around $200 to  $300 a night. If you leave out Friday night arrive Saturday morning and leaving Monday. You are looking at $2000 before even buying a ticket to the game.
