Super Bowl in London?

[skinski]

Jolly ho and how about a Super Bowl played in London? It's not such a far-fetched idea. A future NFL champion may someday be crowned overseas in a game witnessed predominantly by a foreign audience, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said

The game that was held recently was very popular, well attended with a knowledgable crowd. It could happen I guess. As far as making money is concerned it`s a great idea given that they could charge in £ what they charge in $ and therefore double their takings. Cynical? Yes, but we all know sport is driven by money these days.

I think it should stay in the usa.Its an American sport to which a lot of people who follow the sport would not be able to watch their team play for such a big prize.
We have the equivilent in soccer and i would not be happy if they moved our national sport final to another country.

I had heard that the game went over pretty good there DM. Shame it weren't two good teams for you all over the big water to see......the Dolphins just aren't that much this year.
I have to agree with Cerberi on this one tho..leave the Super Bowl over here unless or until it becomes a world sport.....

I`m in complete agreement with you both, the Superbowl should stay in the states, at least for now. Having a couple of games over here or in Europe is a good idea though. There are plenty of fans and I`m sure many of them buy official merchandise. It would be great for them to get a chance to see a game close to home as travelling to a game in the states is probably too expensive for most fans.
