Playing in London in October could be a game that could mess up a team literally LOL It is colder there than it is here and if you take two teams like the Colts (dome team) and NE a team built for the cold weather, it could be bad for the Colts LOL
I can see the Dome teams protesting on television now LOL

Interested to see who they'll choose to play but the venue will probably be Wembley or Emirates stadium as the others are too small (pitch size). Also for the prestigeI reckon they'll favour one of those locations. Upton Park and the Valley also have decent pitch sizes but aren't as fashionable.
Should be a decent sized crowd, quite a few Americans here these days and they'll probably convince their friends to go along with them too. I would probably go out of curiousity.
@Safety
London is in no way as cold as Chicago or NY can be. We ain't seen proper snow in years, since I was in school in fact. You guys have regular snow that stops traffic, we see it on telly lol... gulf stream keeps us warmer than cities in US of equal lattitude.

Didn't know that. I thought that since you guys were more Northern that you experienced colder weather. Hmm still I can hear the Domed teams complaining if they have to go to London to play. IF they play at the Emirates, heck I may come depending on who it is.
I did not get the chance to see Higbury but would love to take a tour of the Emirates

Hopefully they will give you two high scoring teams with weak defenses like the Rams and the Saints in warm weather. I think all of you would be hooked LOL

stupid idea....why London?
They just have to review NFL Europe history to see that Great Britain doesn't give a cent about American Football.....very, very strange
Amsterdam or anywhere in Germany but London?
"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I\'m very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

Ahem, I will probably be the only female there (especially if it's the Eagles) but that would be lovely if not poorly attended.
@Safety... England is warmed by the convection effect of the Gulf Stream, although the latitiude is almost on par with Siberia (and Canada), you get very little snow and temps nowhere near as bad as going to a Patriots,Bills or Packers game...
I miss snow!
