London Calling

The NFL is seeking to expand out of the USA for the main reason of expanding their market and eventually creating more revenue.  We have hosted several games in London and will continue to do so because of the great success that the British Premier League has world wide.  If we are able to broadcast globally such as the Premier League, the NFL's revenue would skyrocket exponentially.  London is also a prime place to host NFL games due to the fact that the Wembley Stadium that is suited for football games doesn't have many events going on during the time the NFL season is going on.  For the most part, the factors that will contribute to expansion will greatly rely on the location of the games played and if the fan base will be big enough to make this all worth it in the end.  Possible obstacles that can get in the way of running a European team would be the time it takes to get to and from London for the players and also just managing and coordinating a schedule from overseas.  The dark side that could revel itself could possibly be that we dump all of this money into moving a team over and it proves to not be worth it because we cannot generate enough interest in Europe among the fans.
