It Proves That America Isnt The Only Country Interested In Football. Im Pretty Sure That The World Record For Highest Attendance Was In Mexico During A PreSeason Game.

That's pretty amazing considering how bad the Giants-Dolphins game was.

Yeah, the weather was awful but still....

Hope the Chargers and Saints put on a good show.

I'm sure if there was only 1 game to look forward too in America, we could triple or quadruple that. (Of course pending you had a stadium that could hold such a capacity)

You're missing the whole bloody point.

Football is easily #1 in England...however, it's not our kind of football. And for American football to sell like that in a country where it's nowhere even remotely close to the cultural significance that it is here...that's damn impressive.

Yea I know, I'm just not on board with taking our game overseas. This is our one sport that we can claim as our own and I don't want to see it turned into a mockery like David Stern and the NBA ... maybe I'm a tad bit harsh but that's just how I feel.

So are you doing the happy dance now that NFL Europe is gone?

a wee bit harsh, im all for globalization, that said, they shouldnt exploit it and make it a circus just to get new fans(hint hint nhl) but having international fans can always be a good thing
