The NFL Has A Expansion Problem

     There has been some news coming out of the NFL, and it doesn't seem to be a good sign for the NFL's plan to expand to London. Tickets have not been selling this year.

The “most interesting” game is probably the jags one… half the stadium hasn’t been sold and there isn’t even a queue to access it.

    This is definitely a problem for the NFL. This season was probably the biggest test for a new London team. As tickets continue to not sell, you have to question if London is a viable place for expansion. Perhaps its truly time to put the London team rumors to rest. We have all heard this rumor for years. Apparently the Jags were tempted to try it, but now no longer seem interested because they just renovated their practice facility. 

    What will the NFL do from here. My guess is they will try the London experiment a little differently next year. My guess is tickets also might not be selling because there is a lot more international games this year besides the London games as well. Next year might be the true test to see if the NFL goes international.

    If you ask me, it's time for the NFL to focus elsewhere. It's time to focus on purchasing the failing UFL and begin a soccer style relegation process. This would also prevent the tanking issue as well. Could you imagine if STL got an NFL team again because of this? Pure electricity.
