I really dont see the problem that a lot of you are seeing with having more games in London.  I have heard nothing but positive reviews from players (granted, I haven't looked for articles/reports which illustrate negative ones).  I had a group of friends go to London a few years ago when the Niners were there, and they said the atmosphere at the game and the trip itself were awesome.

I guess I am in the minority here, but I dont see the issue.
 
well, i'm not sure teams like playing a home game on a neutral site. kind of hurts them in that fashion

A team is going to lose a home game.



Unless you're Jacksonville.

Jacksonville does well as far as attendance goes.

I've somewhat turned the corner on this. After watching that thing on the Discovery Channel on the Vikings and Steelers, it seemed the Minnesota guys had a lot of fun with experience having spent the entire week there. Not so much for the Steelers, who opted to leave a few days early, but it didn't feel too negative on their end (except for the loss hehe).

My worry is more of what this leads to. It starts with one game, then two, now three and in 10 years a team will call London home. I'm selfish about football being in America and when you take into account the other teams in a division who will have to go there and the team that actually plays in London having to travel 8 times across the world to play games, then it probably will wear thin.
