Quote:2017 London game confirmed to be against Baltimore.So freakin sweet! :-D
Still not confirmation on date but it will either be September 24 or October 1.

still doing international games. Lame.

The Jags should be able to play the week thereafter, the Clots did it.

Care to expand? Is it lame that the NFL is doing international games or just that the Jaguars are?

From the standpoint of marketing the NFL in the U.K., this is a good choice by the NFL. The Jaguars already have a sizable following in the U.K. The Ravens are a team with a very good track record since 2000 and a QB who has performed very well on the big stage. Both teams have good Defensive foundations. Justin Tucker's kicking ability is something that can be promoted as well.

London deserves Browns vs Jaguars every season. the battle of who sucks the least.

I thought the NFL recently announced the end to the 9:30 (US eastern time) experiment.

Quote:I thought the NFL recently announced the end to the 9:30 (US eastern time) experiment.Last I heard they were considering it, nothing official yet. Though considering the TV channels want an end to the 9:30 KO I fully expect them to abandon it.

Strong rumours suggesting that it will be 6.30pm UK time.. I am banking on it being that.
Sucks that we don't know the exact date. I've already had leave refused for 24th September, I can get a shift swap though. I'm hoping it's Octover 1st because I'm off anyway that date.

It should be a decent game.
It'll be my son's first ever game so it will be memorable at least for that reason!

That's awesome!
He will likely want to go to many, many more NFL games as a result!

Absolutely!
He loves soccer games already, but I've told him that NFL games are much more exciting live than soccer.
He also wants to go to WWE.. it's nice that I can realise I'm bringing him up right! :thumbsup:

It is not going to end, unfortunately. I hate it.
Even worse is the NFL expanded it to four games in London.
12-13-2016, 03:38 PM
Let's hope we get more!
We like the NFL too!

And do you know why? The NFL are steadily going to increase it until they find whether London has a fan base big enough to support a franchise. Either they get to 8 games that still sell 80k+ tickets or they reach a point where ticket sales begin to dip

You probably know much more about this than i do but one thing that caught my attention when reading about the two road games the Lions played in London were the festivities in the days leading up to the games. In essence, a U.K. version of the NFL Experience. If you have the time, this is something you and your son will probably get enjoyment out of leading up to the Jaguars game against the Ravens.

Oh absolutely. My wife and I went to the festivities in 2015. They close off one of the major streets in central London and basically have a party the day before the game! They also do open training sessions too. It's great that we get that kind of exposure and I'm hoping that everything falls right for my son to experience that too!
