thinking Super Bowl in London?
Quote:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- A future Super Bowl champion may someday be crowned overseas in a game witnessed predominantly by a foreign audience, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said.

"There's a great deal of interest in holding a Super Bowl in London," Goodell told reporters Monday. "So we'll be looking at that."

The commissioner said London's new Wembley Stadium would make a great candidate for pro football's biggest matchup, given the enthusiasm overseas for the game.

The NFL has been expanding its overseas presence for years by televising games around the world. It's held preseason games in numerous countries in Europe, Asia, Mexico and Canada, and in 2005, the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers played the first regular-season match outside the United States.

The game at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City drew the league's largest crowd to date, 103,467.

On Oct. 28, Wembley will host the first regular-season NFL game outside North America. It took just 90 minutes to sell the first 40,000 tickets for the game between the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants. Goodell said event organizers have sold 95,000 tickets in all.

Goodell spoke about the possibility of a British Super Bowl after a luncheon Monday in Scottsdale sponsored by the host committee for the 2008 Super Bowl in Arizona.

Im not a big fan of the idea. I think regular season games are one thing but the super bowl?

Re: Super Bowl in London?
Hummm… Superbowl would be going a little too far I think. A regular season game or two is ok, but unless London, or the UK as a whole had an NFL Franchise, I don’t think it should happen.


And Tyler… does that include me?

Re: Super Bowl in London?
I actually think it's a good idea if you want the game to be a international success

Hell yeah, though my idea for a Monks UK bash at Christmas involves a trip north (or to Wales) this time!
