How do NFL teams get chosen for London?

Defying · Oct 27, 2013

There has to be a lot to it right?

First, cannot imagine any team wants to go.

Second, it takes away a home game from somebody. How about home revenue, does the "home team" get all the revenue from London? How does that compare to what they would have made in the US?

Can a team decline to go?

Has to be an interesting process

A team that can't draw at home vs. one of the more intriguing (for whatever reason) teams in the league.

My brother was at that game this morning, he lives in London. Just sent me this pic.

Looks well-attended although it's hard to see from this view.

From what I heard UK NFL fans are ok with going to these games but would not like a London franchise.
