Super Bowl in London in 2014?DoggDayAfternoon 05-03-2009, 03:55 PM We just keep whoring ourselves out for a buck. When is Manchester United coming here? skinsfan_nn 05-03-2009, 03:55 PM It's not happening! I'll only believe it when I see it! Until then it's BS! saden1 05-03-2009, 03:58 PM SB outside the U.S. is an unacceptable proposition. No dice! TheGuyFromOverThere 05-03-2009, 03:58 PM While im sure the game would sellout, make ton of money(blah blah blah), i don't really consider football an international sport as in the players and viewerbase is like 99 percent usa. I could see this concept work in other sport(basketball, hockey, baseball) where clearly the players and fans are more diverse. Even after saying that i could care less where they play it, the average fan doesnt go to the superbowl, and the one who can travel before across the united states wherever can prob go across the seas with np to see game too. 99% is a bit high nowadays where there are a lot of leagues outside U.S. Yes, the best of them could maybe compete at low college/highschool level, but you shouldnŽt underestimate the amount of players and fans outside of the U.S.A. I would even get as far as IŽd estimate that it pretty much equals out on pure amateurs (meaning players outside schools and pro-leagues). Dirtbag59 05-03-2009, 04:11 PM I love the idea. Wembly stadium is beautiful. Then again it would be the first cold weather Super Bowl in a long time.

I would even get as far as IŽd estimate that it pretty much equals out on pure amateurs (meaning players outside schools and pro-leagues). Your right they're are lot of international football leagues, in fact i just read an article bout a Chinese allstar team that subbed in players from another area to gain an advantage. I was talking bout players in the NFL and actual hardcore fans of the NFL. tryfuhl 05-03-2009, 07:20 PM Absolutely horrible idea; the game doesn't have to be prostituted to earn a few more bucks. You're dealing with flying all of the players, coaches, equipment, etc over and dealing with them adjusting to a different schedule and in a lesser way, different customs. Outsourcing the Super Bowl is just ridiculous, sometimes you have to look at a proposition that would earn more money and say, "Hey, this isn't how we want do do this" but Goodell doesn't seem to understand this. WaldSkins 05-03-2009, 07:32 PM If we are going to send the game over seas to play in shitty weather, why not just play it here in shitty weather? Who wouldn't love to see a superbowl in Greenbay, Washington, NE, NY, etc? skinsfan_nn 05-03-2009, 07:43 PM Retarded idea from jump street, that will not happen! For 2nd Time in a Week, NFL Denies Reports of London Super Bowl --NFL FanHouse (http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/05/03/for-2nd-time-in-a-week-nfl-denies-reports-of-london-super-bowl/) TheSmurfs22 05-03-2009, 07:52 PM Would they use Wembley or another facility that is begin built for the Olympics? I wonder how many Brits would actually go to the game partly because they typically view American footballers as a bunch of slow fat guys. |
