NFL games in college stadiums

Article about how the proposed change to a 17 game schedule would work. They state each team's additional game would be played "out of market" and the idea to play in US cities that do not have pro teams was brought up (& appears to have been well received.)

I think it's a cool idea. It'd be fun to watch a solid matchup in Tuscaloosa or South Bend. I doubt they'd have issues filling the stands.

The NFL has also talked internally about playing games in other cities in the U.S. which do not have pro teams, with some buzz about playing a game at Notre Dame or Alabama, as well as Hawaii and cities in Canada. It is viewed as a unique and profound way to grow the game globally and extend the reach of sales, merchandising and broadcast rights around the globe, with there only so much more room for growth within America.
