Sigh not a fan of this means also have to wake up at 6 am to watch the gm. I really hope it doesn't happen.


The NFL announced they will be starting the games a few hours later to correct this, since it has created a decline in viewership.


If we go to London, there is no way that I am not going.

I am in.

Cards v Rams at Twickenham Rams are the home team

I'm going !!!

Can you score us some tix?

sheet....guess I won't get to see the LA stadium next year either...couldn't do new years in LA this year...:(

Since they are playing at the old Stadium, you aren't missing much...dumpy digs and awful area. Wait until new stadium is built, to come visit.

Wife and I are heading to London next month (she works for a UK company)...I might need to bring along a healthy lot of Cards gear to wear around town; prime the pump for next season's game.

We play like crap on the East Coast. I can only imagine that we'll get negative points in London.

I hate Roger Goddell.

We were always going to go in 2017, it was our time. Very happy it wasn't a home game, but we'll definitely be going.

We lived 35 miles north of London for 10 years, so if anyone wants any travel advice, we're happy to help.

Seems that the team selections reflect bottom tier teams. Is that the Cards status?

I lived about 75 miles north of London by Ipswich in the mid - late 80's. Always went to London for the weekend. Great city.

I've never understood the London thing. Mexico just makes so much more sense to me. There's already tons of fans there for every team and player. I went to Scotland several years ago and it cost me an arm and a leg. Mexico city probably half the cost.

Sunday night, Monday night and redzone are on local basic package here in Costa Rica and you can stream Thurs night as well. People down here watch the NFL. The added benefit is they have their own announcers and I didn't have to put up with Gruden or Collinsworth!

Just my $. 02

I sure hope they play the 22nd. It will make it much easier to schedule than the 29th.

Get in! Just a short train ride down to London and we're in business. Shame it's in Twickenham and not Wembley, but beggars can't be choosers.

The NFL sells out four games a season in London with fans travelling from all over Europe - they'll milk this thing for all it is worth.

I think we're going to get flights which allow us to be in the UK over both weekend. We can do other things whichever weekend they don't play.

That is definitely my plan. Maybe even longer if finances allow.

I just hate how the NFL uses London as a bargaining chip. You want to host a Super Bowl? Ok agree to X,Y, Z, and oh yea you gotta go to London. You want to relocate? Sure, agree to X,Y, Z, and... you gotta go to London.

If the NFL cared about fairness they would just have set rotating schedule. We all know that they have no interest in treating all teams fairly though. It's all about the bottom line.

Hi Guys

Matt here from Arizona Cardinals UK Fans. Just wanted to see if any of you guys plan on heading to London for the game next year?

Because we are arranging a fan event that will include an exclusive open top bus tour of London, entry to a pre-game Cardinals fan event near the ground (with food and drink) and much more.

Thanks!

This probably needs its own thread...

I feel like the London game should be us vs The Patriots, we are the home team, and we wear our all-red uniforms. Very metaphorical.
