International games released - Giants in Germany

[Buzzbait]

"America's team" in Moscow.

Giants Panthers in Munich... ok this time I won't have to invest any time and money in getting tickets. What a yawner.

Most people I know don't care what teams are coming over though. They'd go either way, just to watch an NFL game live. And Munich does have a great stadium, should be a good one for the teams. Will be sold out and people will create a great atmosphere once again.

What did the good people of Munich do to the NFL to deserve this slop?

The first reply to that tweet was "Yet another punishment for Germany starting WW2".

 

[Jipper]

At least there won't be any Cowboys international games.

Hopefully there never will be.

I am cool with them doing the Mexico city thing every once in a while...Viva los vaceros!!

 

[Proof]

All I can say is thank the lord the Cowboys don't have to play in one of these games. It is a disruption to the team and frankly, it is all about Goodell's stupid plan to conquer the world.

i selfishly want them to play in mexico city one of these years as that is likely the only way I'd go to see them again.

You left out the NYG @ CAR in Germany.
Odd choice to schedule two putrid NFC teamsov

Garbage. Football needs to played in the USA on Sundays only.

That shipped sailed long, long ago...in the previous century.
NFL Saturday games first started in 1952.

There’s something funny about the Patriots playing in England.


The Americans are coming!

 

[Motorola]

That yawner Patriots- Jaguars game may have them leaving early to get the pub for pints.

Same with that Giants-Panthers tilt...add in shots of scotch (or whatever is the favorite spirit in London Town.

Mexico City is okay, it the long distance travel to Germany and London that sucks.

It is a shame the Packers and Eagles do not play during Carnival in Brazil. The crowds for that game would be worth watching.

Your putin me on

I went to Jagaurs v Falcons at Wembley last year. We had good tickets Block 142. About half way up on 35 yard line. £165 a ticket

That's $209 when converted to US dollars. That's not a terrible seat at AT&T stadium, but I can't find the individual seat prices.

Every team will be required to play in international games over time. The owners agreed to it. The league is granting marketing rights to teams in various regions in Europe. Some rights have been granted to Ghana. Games in Africa cannot be far off. The NFL already knows where the games on TV are already popular in Europe and are trying to expand the audience with live games.

I'm waiting until Goodell schedules a game in Pakistan. Or Afghanistan. Gotta build that brand, right Roger ?

More of these are coming. Games are usually sell outs will be 2 x games in Dublin, Ireland before the end of the decade - Steelers and Jags will play home games in Croke Park.

There games are popular among team execs. I know that there are multiple teams seeking to become the opponent in these games.

 

[erod]

Jaguars now have 2 games in Europe. Back to back weeks.

The move is inevitable.
They will still not overtake Dallas and their worldwide popularity.

Ok, then their players will get to pay massive taxes with a punishing cost of living.

It'll never happen.

The Germans are so lucky to witness a talent that is Daniel Jones…

The Giants, 49ers, and Bears have a lot of fans out there.

I googled the ticket prices for the games at Tottenham.... 64 pounds on the low end with a max of 155 pounds. Using current conversion rates, that's $80.96 on the low end, $196.07 on the top end. I'm having trouble locating current single game prices at AT&T for comparison, but I imagine we are paying quite a bit more.

I remember looking for tickets to the Dallas at Miami game last year. Two good ones were available. At the 50 yard line, midway up, $750 each.

Where's your sense of adventure? Somalia, Gaza City!!

Professional athletes are exempt from tax in some European countries. Where I live they get 10 years tax free.
