Even if the demand's there, my question is one of logistics.
You have to factor in time zones
I feel like with all the hoops you have to jump through to make a potential London team work, it wouldn't be worth the benefits you get from expanding the market.
Very well said!
It's a money grab.
It just doesnt seem the NFL is acting in the fans best interest by pushing this idea.
A full-fledged franchise seems unlikely but I know why they like to play games over there.

Well, Yeah - but the Euro Community isn't gonna be ravenous (no pun intended) over it and T.V. will really have to commit a lot more revenue to compensate the fanbase - I really can't see it work.
Am I the only one that just don't get why playing games in England or anywhere outside the lower 48 is a good idea?
These are novelty games and rob the fans of experiencing their hometeam.
Expanding the NFL to time zones on a different date? Really?
We can barely schedule the season now, muchless bring in European teams who don't have a fan base or care to.
I'll watch the choice match-ups on a Thursday, but I think it would be better for the sport to be on a consistant schedule.

That's a lot of cash to carry around...or leave in your vehicle.
That's why I got an E-Z Pass
