NFL Stadium Series
As of right now, the NFL is in the midst of a “stadium series”, what this refers to is the NFL playing official season games in other parts of the world. This year alone there have been games in England and Germany. The NFL just released this press release regarding the future of the NFL in Europe, “The NFL will be back in London for three matchups in the city 2016, the 15th, 16th and 17th games to be played there since the NFL International Series launched. Two games will be played at Wembley Stadium, which has been home to NFL International Series games since 2007. Twickenham, home of the English rugby team, will play host to an NFL game for the first time.” (NFL.com) The National Football Leagues commissioner Roger Goodell has stated that he would like to see a permanent team in London, England in the near future. This stadium series is all part of the globalization plan of the National Football League. This paves the way for a franchise based in London, the city has a lot of stadiums of varying size and purpose; the NFL tendered a bid for anchor usage of the Olympic Stadium and had talks with Mayor of London Boris Johnson, but the talks fell through. The NFL released this info on its website regarding facilities that can be used in London, “The most likely stadiums, therefore, seem to be Wembley or the new Tottenham stadium. This will have a retractable grass surface with artificial turf underneath, reducing the time it takes for grounds men to ready the pitch for an NFL game, plus locker rooms big enough to hold a 53-man NFL squad.” (NFL.com)
