I've travelled to Lambeau Field five times and have seen 2 games at Lambeau Field and this might be more often than many so called "die hard fans" from the US. Does living in Europe makes us 2nd classfans ? Hopefully not.I fully agree with the point not to give away a home game for this and as much I understand Mark Murphy this wont happen. So where is the problem if the Packers are playing a road game in London ? It wont happen once per year, depending on the schedule and in case every NFL team would need to do this it might be one or two games in 5 years. So what are we talking about ? Another point is the fact that it is a business. We are living in the year 2014 and also NFL Football is a global business. The market in the US for Football is limited, but growing interest from outside the US opens new opportunities for the owners and the NFL. I dont see a team based in London but to me it makes sense to bring the NFL to Europe/London for a couple games every year. I dont like Goodell, who does ? But this strategy makes sense from the perspective of the owners and the NFL.And like you said - Packers playing in London would be home game for them !</blockquote>
