Does anyone care about international games.

[slanidrac16]

I know some of you live out of the country and probably enjoy it, especislly if it were the Cardinals…if you can afford it.

I couldn’t care less. Many times I can’t fit those games into my schedule to view. It actually aggravates me a bit.

Maybe it’s just me.

The NFL also gets extra inventory from a game that starts at like 6 am

As long as the game doesn't degrade, I have no opinion. Jacksonville playing two games this years shows they are probably moving there sooner than later, so its probably time to embrace.

They're currently renovating their stadium to the tune of $1.4B, so I doubt that they will moving anytime soon.

Well, their owner, Shahid Khan's net worth was roughly $12 billion in 2022, so that's likely a drop in the bucket in his eyes. They'll probably still play games in Jacksonville as well as somewhere overseas for some time moving forward.

Just checked on his net worth. Currently $15 billion. And he turns 76 in July. He's going to be an owner willing to spend some of his fortune to win now because he isn't getting any younger.

Jacksonville's owner also owns Fulham FC in London so he uses the 2 games he has in London as a way to promote Fulham also.

I like the international games but I think it has become to many. Not sure but if you are the home team do season ticket holders have first pick on tickets to these games.

I enjoy the international games and feel like the NFL has become one of the Global Sports like soccer. I have traveled to one of the international games as well. It was a blast and I would do it again.

My only dislike is that the fans for these international games come to the game with every jersey in the NFL. It doesn't matter who is playing, they will show up with their favorite team. Through time, I am sure the international fans will start cheering for the two teams playing but it hasn't shown itself to be the case so far.

Just the fact that they show up in some NFL teams jersey shows support. I get your thinking but expecting a cardinal fan to go buy a ram's jersey because that's the team playing doesn't make sense. I've gone to a lot of cardinal's games and see team jerseys for every team in the NFL. And I mean cards v rams, I see GB, 49ers, seahawks etc...

I like it for the international fans who get the opportunity. Will never forget being in New Zealand when Patriots came back to beat Falcons in that Super Bowl (2017). 3pm Kiwi time on Monday.

We went to one at Wembley last year, lord did that game suck

Yeah the Cardinals/Rams game sucked too! But, I'll never forget the experience. Walking into Twickenham Stadium was fun. No tailgating but you either park a few miles away and walked by bar hopping along the way or you take the train in. We did the bar hop scene and honestly.... I had to start drinking water at every other stop. The English dudes we were there with stuck with a pint at every stop. Those guys can seriously drink!

That was an unbelievable comeback. But I have to ask. I understand "New" York, "New" Jersey, "New" Hampshire and even "New" England. But "New" Zealand? Where the heck is Zealand?? Or even Foundland??
I've really got to stop watching the History channel..

 

[Crimson Warrior]

I guess we’ll know American football has really arrived on the international scene when there are stars in the nfl from Europe, Africa and South America.

It's great for the NFL. They expand their audience and make more money while advertising the brand.

For the players, coaches, staff, etc., I head it's a grind. It's long flights, delays, extended travel and time away from friends and family. They get tired and I'm sure it affects their performance.

For fans - I don't really care generally, but hosting teams do lose a home game. I just don't want to see my team get worn down, and I dislike waking up on a Sunday at 7 am and my team is in the 2nd or 3rd quarter already.

I believe the fans in Mexico are amazing and I enjoy watching that crazy ass passion during the game.

As the Stateside NFL gets more corporate and less fan friendly, the international games give me the old Sun Devil vibes.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

The Cowboys will play in Rio against the Ravens in 2026 and I look forward to that game

 

[Carolinacacti]

Hate it unless the Cardinals are on TV on the East Coast

It's named after the Dutch province of Zeeland, obvs

Yes, I actually knew that. Yes, I also looked it up to make sure I was right in knowing that

I was there also. Had a few pints before the game.
