London wins right to host first game outside N. America

First time out of North America! I know Mexico has hosted a game already.

London will hold the NFL's first regular-season game outside North America, the start of an international campaign to take American football to a global audience.

"There's great history of NFL football in London, and British fans have been great fans of football over the years," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday. "We're confident that this game is going be a great success in London and will be a great foundation to play more games there going forward."

i dont like it...i think it really hurts the teams involved as far as flying/time in between games...as long as the eagles arent there I ultimatly dont care...but i dont think it will be a positive thing on the team itself.
