They're nuts, I was in the main lot so saw a lot of that, saw four separate tables broken and a whole lot more besides, had a game of beer pong on a beer pong table with an irish flag on it at 9am, was surreal

Raiders are going to be one of the home teams and you'll be pleased to hear that the speculation is that they may play the Seahawks !

The number of Americans coming over really depends on the teams - There were defo a lot of Baltimore fans over in the season just gone. I think maybe a thousand or two.
Practically all of the games sell out in London - Of all the games player here, only 1 or 2 didn't fully sell out.

They really need good games, European fans are a lot smarter now and know when they're being fobbed off with sh*t teams. Having said that, I'll try make a game.

This game was my third in the states, I'd highly recommend it for anyone thinking of going for one, especially if you've a team you support regularly

The fan base is growing all the time though.
On paper, at this stage last year, the London games did not look attractive. Yet all 4 sold out.

True, it did take longer to sell them though but you're right, they'll probably still sell out. They could still send one decent game a year, the talk of two division games is exciting, would do a lot for the series.

I'd love more marquee games but there are so many factors involved - TV schedules, home teams will to give up games, teams season schedules etc etc that it some ways their options are limited in terms of what games they can have. Alistair Kirkwood did say they were trying to work towards getting the remaining teams over who haven't been over yet.

I'd sooner travel to Oakland to see the Raiders than go see em in London.

So I'll have two Raiders games next season if anything

Are season ticket holders of teams who give up home advantage to play abroad not against this? Not to mention their fans in general when their team is losing home advantage to play at a neutral venue?

It's been a main point of contention for Oakland fans who will now have given up a honme game 3 out of the last 4 years for these international series. City based fans who are already losing the team to Vegas anyways in 2 years time shouldn't have to give up any more home games but I feel the owner Mark Davis doesn't think about it like that and is purely looking at from a business point of view.

I know from an owners point of view if you want to host the SuperBowl playing one of these's internatioanl games is required from the team.
