How would an NFL team in London even work?
Would they play the first 8 games on the road all in the US and then the last 8 in London, and have a facility in the US?

Or would they have a normal schedule, and just basically be guaranteed to never be good due to travel constraints?


Really are you too dense to figure it out? All you have to do is build a practice center that is big enough for 2 teams or build 2 practice centers or work out a deal with one of the many pro soccer teams and use their facilites for the visiting team. Have a visting team play an east coast team and then play to London after that game. Spend the week and practice in London and then fly home. It should not be a major problem unless it is a west coast team in which case you let them play on monday night the following week so they have an extra day to get over jet lag. The flight from Miami to Seattle is 7 hours. London to any east coast city is 8-9hrs and london to dallas is 10 hours and London to Chicago is 9 hours and these are flights on charter jets its not like they are flying Spirit or anything.


Then keep up the US practice facility of the relocating team and schedule 2-3 week road trips when they play in the US.

All this plus London gets a bye the week before each of their two trips to the states.
