For those of you not watching or reading the news lately, NFL travel is about to get a little more interesting in 2007. NFL owners have agreed to allow two (2) NFL games per year to be played outside the USA. The one good thing is it will make the NFL a little more interesting for those doing it (if you like traveling). The bad thing is the people who rely on those stadium jobs and the fans will lose out when their game is the one not being played at home. That's show biz!

No matter what it should make it more interesting hopefully (hopefully, being the key word) for the NFL crews who will be doing those games and just maybe, maybe (smile), you'll have sometime to explore the strange new lands the crews will be traveling to.

Here is the link to the story.

For the stadium crews it should be like they had an exhibition game cut. Nine games rather then ten. Does suck to lose 10% of your work though. I bet the cities/counties where the stadiums are will hate the lose of sales tax revenue far worse. Here is what will really bite, most teams will not refund the price of that lost game to the season ticket holder. They will keep the money and "allow" the seat holder to apply the money towards next years tickets. Of course, those teams get to use the money without paying interest. Some thoughts on this. The NFL could put a team in several Canadian cities, Montreal would be the only one I can think of that would not have current NFL teams complaining about location. Buffalo/Toronto, Seattle/Vancouver. Would the Mexicans care about NFL or does soccer fill their sports needs? A team in the UK? Mainland Europe? Travel would be killer.
