London, Toronto, and Mexico City seem like places the NFL will try to put a franchise at some point, but not just yet.
Toronto is the obvious, logical best choice of these three, which means it's the least likely to happen.

Beer selections would be aces as well. Plus excellent stadium fights with hooligans who barely understand the game versus rednecks who put a second mortgage on their house to follow the Cowboys for Merica.

If London ever gets a team the games should all be required to be night games on Saturday or Sunday (so they're actually in the afternoon). I have to start watching football at 8:30 AM when the Colts play the Jags and that's the night after I'll be at a wedding. Hair of the dog I guess.

That's every saturday morning if you're on the best coast :cool:

The traditional soccer field food is a pie like this. Steak and gravy. loving amazing when it's cold outside because it doubles as a handwarmer while you're eating it.

That's a good start. Double the size and quadruple whatever the price is and we might be talking NFL food.

Yeah because I'm sure the Raiders would be interested in passing over a $1.9 billion stadium in Vegas to have an infield on their field again.

The Lott bid is significant in that the group is majority black and would make he raiders iirc the only black owned team in the league, and I think the only other team in pro sports outside of the Hornets owned by Michael Jordan.

But that's the key. They want control over the team and Mark ain't gunna sell. It's going to take the league to force him out.

The NFL love to talk about it as if there's a significant population here who even give a poo poo about the NFL. There isn't. Even small-market teams like the Bills or Jags' support would take a nosedive figures-wise here.

Didn't we just have years of people saying LA and Vegas were never getting a team

Hell, we even had years of "a game in London is the most expansion the league will get" and now we're about to have a game in Mexico

If the A's build themselves a stadium it will be designed for baseball only and probably won't be able to accommodate football at all.

The major difference is LA and Vegas are still in a country where the majority of inhabitants could at least summarize the rules of football, and aren't on a literally different continent.

London's not getting a team because of timezones.

Mexico City will get a permanent team before London, for that reason. And it will probably be the Jags.

IIRC the league's plan is to have like 5 games in London a year starting in a few years. At that point having a team there isn't that much different. I mean there's already 3 games there. The biggest problem I see with having a team based there, outside of problems that exist with the current setup, is that they'd never be able to have a home game in US prime time.
