Giants-Dolphins in England in 2007

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is expected to announce tomorrow at his first State of the NFL news conference that the Giants and Dolphins will play a regular season game in London, England during the 2007 season. It would be the first NFL game ever played in Europe. The league has staged exhibition games there before, but never a regular season contest.

The game would be likely be played in late October, and would be a Dolphins’ home game.

There had been talk of a Giants-Dolphins matchup in Europe when it was announced several months ago that the league was exploring the idea of playing regular season games overseas.

Goodell has been steadfast in his belief that marketing the NFL overseas is critical to the league’s long-term success, and a Giants-Dolphins matchup in London makes sense as far as that plan is concerned. There are some logistical issues to deal with, including how early the teams must arrive, and whether the game will be followed by a bye week, since the long travel will certainly be burdensome to the players and coaches.

If they play in London how do fans buy tickets? I'm there!

Being an ardent Giant fan and having moved to florida 10 years ago I am angry that the Giant-Dolphin game has been moved to London. The Giants do not play the Dolphins every year and I was planning to get tickets to see the game with a group of my friends. Why couldn't the NFL bigwigs have scheduled a game in London between 2 teams that play eachother on a regular basis?
