    I bet we'll have more fans than they do. We have fans everywhere in the world.

    I think it's gonna be awesome to see all the Terrible Towels across the pond. I mean I've got compliments on our fan base at opposing stadiums. I can't imagine how revered we are gonna be in another country!!!

    They need all the support they can get.

    In this department they'll never be able to compete with us. :stogie:

    There are 11 Vikings bars in the us. There are 767 Steelers bars in the us. There are no Vikings bars in the UK. There are 4 Steeler bars in the UK with one in London. As Stiller 3 said, they need all the support they can get.

    Our company has an office in St. Cloud and I've been there twice, once in January and once in February. I've never been so cold or bored in my life! If you don't hunter or ice fish, there is nothing to do.

    I hope the Steelers are trying to get an edge on every team they play this year (and every year for that matter).

    On a side note, I noticed in the article, that the Jaguars already have 4 games scheduled in London, thru 2016.
    Aren`t they one of the teams that has problems selling out their OWN stadium???!!!
    I dunno, maybe it`s just me, but I don`t like this at all.
    Road trips are bad enough, when they are from one coast of the U.S., to the other, let alone having to go completely "across the pond".
    If the NFL wants to grow it`s brand, why don`t they just have a completely seperate league over there?
    Oh.... wait.... Didn`t we already have an "NFL Europe"?
    Is that still around?
    I just don`t like the idea of sending our teams that far away to play.
    Maybe we could have a "Mega Superbowl", or something pitting the winner of the American Superbowl, vs. the winner of the European division?
    Nahhhh, on second thought, maybe not.:rolleyes:

    My problem with this whole London crap is that I was going to go to this game when it was in Minnesota. Living in Iowa it is only a 4 hour drive for me to get to the Twin Cities and I have relatives in Minneapolis. This sucks because Goodell wants to expand into Europe. Keep American football here and they can their European football.

    Another reason to dislike ol' Roger...
