So I was just thinking recently “Could London have a NFL team?” I think it would be pretty cool and I’m not alone—a lot of people have been talking about it lately.
Now I’m not sure if the NFL would be into it, and to be fair there’s a lot of logistics to work out like how the team would travel to the US for some of their games. But the excitement about it is real.
Not only would it open up a whole new opportunity for football fans to engage more with the NFL, but it would be huge for the London economy. The tickets, merchandise, and tourism would be a massive deal.
Plus, when you think about it, London already has a number of iconic stadiums like Wembley and Twickenham which could easily house a NFL team. And Londoners all ready have a passionate fan base of NFL fans, so it would fit right in.
My mates and I have been having a bit of a debate about it. I personally think that having a NFL team in London would be a great idea, but my friend insists that it will never happen, so it’s been a bit of a stalemate.
What’s your take on the topic, could London have a NFL team? I think it would be so cool and it would open up a lot of possibilities, but I’m not quite sure if the NFL would be into it. It’s definitely worth thinking about and it would certainly show the world that London has what it takes to host a NFL team.
In terms of the actual game, the thinking is that with a football team in London, people would really understood the rules and regulations of American football. The NFL have worked hard over the years to make the game appealing worldwide, which would be greatly helped by a team in London.
The logistics would be a bit tricky, but I’m confident it could be worked out with proper planning and support from the NFL. Traveling between the US and London wouldn’t be that difficult either, as there’s already so many flights it would just be a case of chartering one for the team.
Then on the marketing side it would be another terrific opportunity for the NFL, as London is such a big city with wonderful potential. The exposure of having a team in London could even open up more marketing opportunities around the world.
The big question is obviously whether or not the NFL would be onboard with such a move, as it’s a massive one. I don’t know, but it’s worth considering. The potential is definitely there and it could be a real opportunity to reach the global market, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
