NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No team in London, NONE! Stop!

Packers game in London could finally happen next season


The Green Bay Packers should know before this season is over if they’ll be playing in London next season.

NFL UK managing director Alistair Kirkwood told ESPN that the league is looking to bring the final six teams who have not played in London yet overseas in 2018. The Packers are one of those six teams.

Signs have pointed to a possible 2018 Packers game in London for some time, given that the Los Angeles Rams are on Green Bay’s schedule as a road game as part of the divisional rotations. The Rams have agreed to play one home game in London in each season from 2016-2019.

“[There is] a desire to try to get the other six teams that haven’t been over as well,” Kirkwood said when asked about the 2018 slate of overseas games. “It’s not the be-all and end-all, but you kind of like to get closer to have all 32 teams over. That seems like a really nice narrative.”

very unimpressed. American football does not belong outside the borders. If you want to play an exhibition game every 3 or 4 years, ok fine.

Does the home team get reimbursed for the loss of ticket revenue? Do season ticket holders get charged for that game, or do they lose one of the tickets in that season's package?

Having a few games in London and Mexico City are probably the best way to do that.

I don't like having to adjust my schedule to watch the Packers play at some off-hour time slot but its probably good for the NFL overall, which is good for Green Bay. 😟

Personally since I don't go to games, where they play doesn't really matter to me. Would be great if they did it during the deer rut so I could be done with watching football and not have a conflict with my afternoon hunting.

I agree with the once every two or three years but making this a regular thing just doesn't make sense.

I am fine with playing one game there a season, maybe two. Hell, give them the Pro Bowl!

Let's look at the 2018 Away Opponents.

[list=1]
  • Seahawks
  • Rams
  • Patriots
  • NFC East Same Place Finisher (2017)
  • Jets
  • Lions
  • Bears
  • Vikings[/list]

    • As Packers fan, rob Seahawks of their home field advantage and put their ass over seas! Plus, it'll be a good game. My vote for most likely is Rams since they can't fill their stadium anyway.

    I only threw up Away games because I think the NFL would get lynched and I fear for Roger Goodell safety if he takes a Packers home game away when we have a long waiting list already.
