[News] Ravens Under Consideration For London Game In 2017

[BR News]

Baltimore is one of eight teams who have not participated in the NFL’s International Series. If the Ravens are selected, it would count as a road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have found a second home in London.

Better get your passport request in now.

I bet the ticket cost will be outrageous

[ParkvilleJoe]

Nevermind. They aren't in the east.

Jacksonville is not in the AFC East.

[jdynamite]

Hope they drop that consideration.

Jags play their home game at Wembley (not Twickenham) and should be the beginning of October game, it was week 4 this season. I have my international series tickets all booked up for next year :)

When I first saw the photograph up top I thought this team was moving to St. Louis. I thought that arc was the ark in St. Louis lol. My heart dropped for a brief second.

Tickets start at £35 to around £100 for sideline tickets. club wembley which are the luxury seats around the middle are approx £90. I pay £105 for all 3 games and i am in the front row upper tier

That's not too bad. When does it become official and where can I book?

Great....Start rounding up your Tea, biscuits- and Maalox !

Keep all NFL games within the lower 48 of the USA. Money grubbers in the NFL will end up destroying the game.

I think its awesome that the NFL does games overseas. I moved to Australia and went to the Cal vs Hawaii game this year in Sydney and it was a great time for me. It seemed like most peope were there just to see what it was all about and there wasn't much excitment in the stadium after kickoff. But that could be beacause at halftime they ran out of beer and food except sushi...

I kind of like football games played in England, because I get to watch four games on Sunday. The only problem I see is if we play there and lose, my day would be ruined pretty early.

[whobilly]

I'd rather go to Lambeau next season when we play the Packers and/or Nashville for the Titans game. Can likely do both for less then what the travel, etc would cost for London. Can crank up the breakfast buffet for the Jags game.

[RaRaRavens]

Nice! Really really hope they will be playing in London next year, the trip to London from Estonia isn't so long. Would be finally able to attend my very first Ravens game! GO RAVNES!

[Rav'n Maniac]

I don't mind an away game in England, I just wouldn't want the early bye following the game that teams traditionally have been required to take. That makes for a long second half.

The Colts were the 1st team to request not having a bye following the overseas trip this year. They faced the Bears the following week and won. If the Ravens are selected, I hope they consider requesting not taking an early bye as well.

[btfan2]

I just don't see this as a big deal. Yawn.....

[terpmaniac]

Not the Jags again. Ugh! I hate that crappy team that we always, always seem to struggle against.

[Bruce_Almty]

Hate the London games. When the Ravens play there, that would be another week I won't bother supporting the NFL.

I can't wait for this experiment to finally be over. I hope the next commissioner is better than the one we have now.

I'm not overly fond of the idea of it either, but I don't see it going away anytime soon.  It makes a lot of money for the NFL by expanding their fan base.

....AND, the commissioner works for all of the owners. Chi-ching.

We struggle against all of them :)

Why is everyone complaining about a handful of games played across seas. I hope we get to play in London next year!
