Anyone Coming to London Next Year for the Game?

[Shane]

I guess I'm going to London, too!

Guy trip

Guy trip

Ha! Not a chance!

 

[dreamcastrocks]

We should definitely meet. I am the manager of an official Liverpool Supporters Group, and we get discounts and tickets and many benefits. Should be a blast.

Absolutely. I'm even thinking of trying to watch an away game. Depends on the schedule and how much money I can save before then.

I've said previously that I just don't get the London thing.. Except it's about the money. I always thought Mexico made more sense.

But can someone give me a better understanding of the situation, please? What about TV.. Are there other games on that you don't have to pay for? Is Directv the only way? What about Europe? What is viewership like there? How does a fan get info the team they follow? Internet only or NFL channel, something? I already know some smartass will answer that ASFN is the only source for Card's fans.. Rightly so!

Getting picked to play in London is not a great honor. It goes to losers. BA says its tough to go east and play games. If so, it can't get much tougher than this.

 

[BillsCarnage]

I'm there. Any season ticket holder not Going? Would love the Rights to the tickets

Sorry Bachi It's not a home game for Arizona

Yes, but the Cards (and NFL) will likely offer packages for the game.

That said, I'm going to try to go, but if not and tix are available to STH's I'll grab a pair.

Has nothing to do about winners or losers. It's about keeping UoP in the Superbowl rotation.

They are screwing with us fans in LA. This year is inconveniently New Years Day of all days, and next year in London. Oh well, there is always 2018.

Explain this please, I don't understand what is being said.

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

I don't fly, so if I go I will be coming on a cruise. Want to cruise around Scandinavia also once I get there. I could use a roommate to cut costs if anyone single person is interested in sharing a cabin. Of course it would help if you were retired and could take a few weeks off. I would prefer if the game was not in the dead of winter though.


PS. I tend to fart a lot during the night.

Good thing the Cardinals are playing a team from even farther west. So, no disadvantage.

I live in LA and am disappointed by a schedule that means I will not be able to see the Cards play here until 2018. I, like many, travel elsewhere for New Years (this years game) and London is too far of a drive from LA (next years game).

You can probably guess from my username that I am ecstatic about this news !
Just hope to god Larry doesn't retire in the off-season.

Can't wait for the game,but really looking forward to the Fan Rallies as well.
Will be great to see some Cardinal legends make the trip - players I mean not the posters on here!

Am a longtime lurker on this site (and the other one too...) but have learned so much from the posters on here so think it would be great to be able to mingle with some diehard Cards fans before the game.

If anyone needs any local advice - hotels, transport etc would be happy to help so please pm me if you want to.

Been to London many times and always enjoyed my stays there. Will be coming for this game and probably the Saints game also since my family is Saints fans.

Take a boat...Or does the Mrs. object to that as well?

She said a boat will work!

I hope no one minds that I added a poll; I didn't want to start a new thread. You CAN change your vote, so if your circumstances change, feel free to update. Just thought it would be a lot easier to keep track of who will be going in the poll results, than having to read through the thread.

 

[Reign Blood]

I'm not going.

 

[blindseyed]

...weather was always dreary and depressing.

Like our season lol

 

[Napier]

We're definitely going - we've booked our flights, so just waiting on getting the tickets for the game when they are available later.

We're also looking to get to a Liverpool game too!!

NFL games (and redzone) are shown each week as well and TNF and MNF. I have no idea what the viewing figures are like, but they must be pretty good as the NFL has a specific NFL site for the UK.

If I go this is my flight plan.

Great airline and they allow you to do a stopover in Reykjavik ( I have stayed for as long as 1 week) before heading for London.

My wife and I are going to be in London in August, we have a few days there pre/post cruise for a trip out of Southampton. If it wasn't for that already booked trip I would definitely go. This will be our third time in London and we've hit up most of the "must see" tourist spots already so seeing a game really would have been perfect as it wouldn't have interfered with sightseeing.
