    That would actually be a really good way of doing it.

      There is a fanbase over here to House a franchise but who would support them as their team, I'd certainly continue supporting the Vikings. People who would go to the games would already be fans of other teams be quite hard to gather up a hardcore fanbase

        NFL commissioner Roger Goodell just said on the news that next year they'll be 2 games a year in London and if all progresses well, then the possibility of an NFL franchise in London could be a real possibility.

          I don't think it would work. They tried it with the EFL and that failed. It's ok them havin a game over here a season but really can't see it working witha game every 2 weeks.

          I don't think the players who play in London would like to travel to America every week or two to play a game. They would be jet-lagged all the time.

              NFL is legit, i think it could really catch on in different parts of the world. It would be pretty cool having the eagles play in London

              I wonder how they would work the season out though with that much traveling.

                That would be a good way of doing it IMO.

                  Ehhhh...not going to happen.

                  Rugby is the original sport, no NFL in England .

                    85,000 week in week out? I doubt it. I support the idea though.

                      Alright then, 70,000 to 85,000 week in week out.
