There are so many good North American locations, I don't know why they need to go foreign.
Like, Mexico City is maybe the largest city on the planet is bananas about the NFL. Football hasn't caught on in St. Louis like it perhaps should have, but St. Louis makes a ton of sense to me, San Antonio, another California city or two like San Jose or bringing a team back to Oakland. Austin is surprisingly large, or El Paso, or Portland. So I don't know why they don't expand more in America. |

They'd live on the East coast, likely New York or Florida area, and fly over throughout the week from one of the hub airports. Their family would remain in USA most likely and they'd just travel for work more often. It's basically the NFL saying to the players, "We know you'll pretty much do anything to play in the league following college, and with little to no competition it's either us, or the real world and your public speaking degree with no experience. Good luck." As far as FAs, they'd fly back and forth, you also have to deal with green cards and dual citizenship etc, so there's a good amount of annoyances to the whole thing. You have athletes who do it within the United States, live on a coast, play on the opposite coast, get to go back home in the offseason and relax. I think it's a bad idea, but we all knew the NFL was going towards this path eventually. Especially with them having games in multiple European cities now. So we can pretty much put England and Germany down as new teams, wonder where they'd put the other two teams, Italy and Spain?

No, there really aren't any great markets left in the US for something the size of the NFL. Europe is a new frontier in terms of product saturation. |

It’d be a lot of fun to watch the late round picks and practice squad guys play. Maybe even let the Assistant Coaches get a shot at being head coaches too. See how a Bieniemy does without Reid.
