WTF is wrong with the NFL?

[Dude]

Not sure all countries have resources and tech to maintain an NFL spectacle. For example, in the stadiums where they do it in the States, at half-time, during a game. Then they roll it off like nothing.

 

[Dude]

So basically, if the country can sustain a proper NFL game, there are many rules to get a game, let them have it. Asia, Australia, forget about it. That’s too far even for WC teams. Maybe they are giving players a broader view of the world. Can’t remember any good teams that choked overseas, as they could have at home. Or not.

It takes away from the game itself.

They are scared to let it stand on merit. Always have to find some off-field bullshit to push.

As always, it's to attract the casuals. Lame mother fuckers that they are.

Watch your mouth or you will get one less ping pong ball for the DCFFL lottery.

One ball is better than no balls.

I'd be very interested to know much they're charging for tickets to a NFL game in Brazil.

I get that high ticket prices in urban markets over here are a form of gentrification but I don't see how that model works in a third world country.

by any reasonably objective standard, ticket prices for the Brazil game are outrageous.

Ridiculously High Ticket Prices Set for Eagles-Packers Game in Brazil

Tickets for the first ever regular season game in South America start at $1,500 and can be as high as $5,730.

I dislike the international games overall, don’t like teams losing home games - only thing I like is that they are usually on at a different time than all of the other games so I can just focus on it.

thinking of games down under in 2025

I should have been given two to sell as a ticket season holder. Not this fucking bullshit where they take a game from me.

The cities need to confiscate the teams from the owners to stop these cunts.

I had seen that article too.

Almost as many Packer fans in Brazil as there are in Wisconsin.

Now I am glad I have never been to Brazil.

What I should have said is that it doesnt surprise me that there are so many Packer fans in Brazil. Brazil is know for their big butts and Wisconsin is known for their huge assholes.

Chicago fans need to join in on this.

Just call it a public service. An investment in the health of the city. They can do it if they have the balls. More of us should be talking about it.

they don,t. not many fans will call pro sports out.

What makes me sick is the new rules to add more penalties against the defense … Hip drop tackle is now a 15 years penalty and auto first down … This league gets in its own way …

The ticket prices were about the same as teams charge for their own fans.

The Packers sent an email to all season ticket holders back in like Feb asking who would be interested in going to Brazil. Being the visiting team they were not sure how many tickets would be available for Packer season ticket holders. Those fans that said they would go were put in a lottery. I said yes I would go and lucked out in the ticket lottery and got an email on 6/10 saying a presale for the Eagles/Packers was taking place at 10am on 6/11. I had to use a unique code when purchasing to show I was included in the presale. I just cared I was in the stadium so did not go for any of the best seats. I bought 2 tickets which was my limit in the 1st row of the upper section at one of the goal lines for $105 each or a total of $210. Tickets in Green Bay start at like $135. The highest prices I saw were in the $200's

When looking now at Stubhub or other tickets sites the tickets in my section are currently at roughly $800 so it will be interesting to see how those prices hold up

Are they really Packers fans though or do they like the colors.

Supervision if they are really thinking global. NFL needs to revamp. Their supervision is bad to say the least and assume a lot. There is no way a game in foreign country shall be played t
