If I was British I would consider Richard Hammond as a national treasure.
He and the boys from Top Gear sure are.
Except he calls football soccer. 😑
@@abraarbaquery8324 I mean, he WAS at an NFL game. If he had called "soccer" football the whole time it would have made for a pretty confusing video LOL. Give my man a break.
@@abraarbaquery8324 the term soccer originates in the UK anyways
Consider? He is.
“That’s one of the teams I’m guessing, and he favours them” 😂
What's so funny is that Mr Hammond interviewed the star player for the Oakland Raiders at 7:19 and I don't think he knew who he was (Derek Carr, QB) considering he didn't even credit him haha
Me neither
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that the NFL and Tottenham Hotspurs have got together to make this happen over here! It is really popular i struggled and could not get tickets at all for the upcoming game unfortunately, sold out very fast
i'm going to the jags dolphins game
@@minecraftsoft3468 I really want to travel and go to a game. The issue isn't with money at this point though. Time and willingness to take a few days off work is really the issue tbh. Americans really don't know the meaning of the word "vacation" and I'm one of those.
@@minecraftsoft3468 000
@@frankym69 In THe 1980s we only had 6 weeks' vacation a year in our Central London Office jobs so we took another week off sick thru' the year to give us more leisure time.
I love that they kept the bit in with the fans getting on camera. Made me smile
Lies again? American Education MLS NFL
@@NazriB what? I'm not American, if that's what you're asking.
Nearly 250,000 Americans live in the UK, with half of those in London, so bringing the NFL to London is always going to sell tickets. Spurs have simply cornered that market, so hats off to them.
Mmmm It will always sell tickets because the UK alone has over 14 million NFL fans, when I went there for the games in 2018 I was a a witness of that, and the people surrounding me inside the stadium didn’t look Americans, they looked and sounded British… I also went to a game of the London Blizzards, but what really got my attention was knowing UK have the Sapphire League, an American Football for females, something not even the US has…
NFL games in LONDON

@@jonathanfrimerman8855 they really picked some winners this year
I am an optimist by nature and am not negative but I have rarely heard anyone ever have more than a 15-second conversation about THe NFL.
When London had an NFL team in The European League, sponsored by our American friends the average crowd was just 6,000 and I have never heard of The Sapphire League. Even the highlights of the weekend on BBC 1 are in later and later now, after midnight. They WILL sell out for 2 games a year for the novelty but there is no chance whatsoever of this being a thing as our Football is our Religion and we have the best League in the World and 7,000 teams...
You're missing the point, you don't go to another country so you fellow countrymen will pay to see that game you go to get that countries people interested in it.
I got to go to this game in 2019 even though I’m a Broncos fan. But I’m also a Spurs supporter so my wife and I flew over a week early to watch Tottenham/Southampton and saw the NFL game a week later.
The transformation was astonishing. What a gorgeous facility the Spurs have. Can’t wait to come back to the UK!
As an American, It overjoys me to know this sport isn’t just domestic anymore. Such an electric sport, I’m glad not just Americans enjoy it.
He's right, it's a genuinley amazing atmosphere. London games have the best of any event. It's people who support any team and just so exited to get to go see a game. Just so great!
Derek Carr throwin shade on the Coliseum. Lol
I'm more than 100% positive that that stadium is nicer than The Coliseum lol. That place needed to be refurbished a decade ago. I remember a few years back there was literal sewage spewing into the locker rooms. Shade deserved XD
Amazing stadium. I don't get tired of watching videos. Congrats Spurs fans, from Realmadrid fan
now this is called a pure content🙌
Tottenham had a big picture in mind and it’s a beautiful stadium
They were probably thinking 'so this is the new waterboy' when they met Richard Hammond!
He's more famous than all the players combined
London is a good city went there two times
Absolutely, Have been twice and can’t wait to go back. If your a EPL fan , particularly if your team is in London , North London, then you have more excitement to get over there. Only issue for Spurs fans is if NFL is going on in their stadium, means they are at away match that weekend. ( I got lucky to see Spurs during final year of WHL in Oct 2016 on Saturday & Redskins at Wembley on Sunday. Both games ended in tie which I couldn’t believe- but that’s not the point right now )
Well, I’ve seen the stadium used for Football, NFL, Boxing, and soon for Music concerts. (Capital’s Summertime ball)
But what about other sports? (Like Rugby if they don’t want to use Twickenham)
“That’s one of the teams I’m guessing, and he favours them”
This makes me interested in seeing how they transform Azteca stadium for an NFL game.
They don’t, apart from spraying NFL markings on the pitch.
@@rhowell1978 Tottenham stadium is unique in that others stadium have to put up with the damaged turf so they have the only retractable pitch since they saw the growing popularity and capitalised on the opportunity which was offer the NFL the chance to have a stadium that meets the NFL regulations in the uk now the only way to meet both sets of regulations was to have a retractable pitch since the NFL allows artificial grass in that tottenham manged to get nfl funding to help build the stadium plus tottenham now have a hard surface in thier stadium thats perfect for other events such as concerts
The fact that Levy made this deal with NFL, going from 1 game a year to at least 2 at Tottenham per year, if not more later ( 2 at Wembley as well , Twickerman hosted one a few years ago) Is more brilliant then just an extra source of income for the club. The talk for a NFL team moving to London keeps coming up, and should that happen within next 5-10 years, there is already a NFL ready stadium ready. Levy is great businessman, just not good with acquiring players for a team.
7:55 that shot 📸 omg
Imagine the NASCAR Cup Series going to Silverstone and they get it done in a day, this is what the equivalent would be.
Euro NASCAR has been quite strong over here for a while. Always a huge turnout for the Brands Hatch meetings.
@@scsutton1 that’s what I’m saying, if the top Cup Series comes to the UK it would be insane how popular it would be
Forget the Bears, Richard's rooting for the Hamsters! lol
Him calling it soccer instead of fútbol just hits different. Especially since the British came up with the damn word, now they want to act like Americans are stupid for referring to it as such.
5:50 The Bears players occasionally get snow. I’m sure the rain is fine.
Hammond just casually opens Harry kanes draw and closes it
Be interesting if Hammond did a special on the upcoming music concerts or even the Boxing we just had, even the Rugby final is coming next spring. What Hammond didn't say was Tottenham had beer sales totalling £4m for that game.
American football and "beer" are synonymous here in the US, more so than for any other sporting event or large gathering of people anywhere as far as I know. Jokes about America/Americans aside, I bet you all enjoyed the fact that we know how to put on a show and are happy to pay out big time to be a part of it. I like discretion and humility generally, but those types of English traits in excess probably do more to stifle the economics of these kinds of events more than anything. Nothing wrong with celebrating in excessive consumption occasionally.
I can recall Robbie Coltrane once doing a "Drive Across America" documentary, and he lands in some small town just as they're going to have their homecoming game. I can recall his saying that he loved everything about the whole atmosphere of American rules football, it was just the gameplay itself he wasn't so sold on-- "Rugby league with too many fits and starts" was how he described it, if I recall correctly. I'm assuming he's not that big an aficionado of RL either. I didn't get that impression from the presenter here, i.e., atmosphere > game itself
Might I recommend watching Stephen Fry's series on visiting all 50 states. Most impressive, informative & funny.
I'd consider Hammond lucky not knowing that Alameda County Coliseum was a terrible stadium. The Raiders were probably super hype to actually get to play in a good stadium before Allegiant Stadium was finished.
We need EPL games over here ASAP
the UK needs to get some MLB games, tons of baseball fans over there
"Those gigantic screens" are tiny by US standards. My local college has one 106 x 45 feet or about 5 feet wider than the playing field. Just $14 million or something close to that.
Wow! That’s an amazing stadium! 🏟 I wish we had one like that in the states
Tottenham don't deserve a stadium this good.😂😂
now Barca is selling players haha .
Tottenham is kind of getting me to watch soccer again. I like the risks they're taking to make extra revenue during the Premier League season. Even if the main attraction winds up out right sucking dirty ass and attendance dwindles at home matches, they have the London series to make up for that. I see the Jags playing at least 2 games a year in London out of the deal in the next 5 or 6 years.
I LOVE American Football 🏈 but I don't like soccer( not in a mean way)and I live in Northern Ireland. I've personally seen my beloved 49er win twice at Wembley and I would love to go to Tottenham Hotspurs ground even as a neutral fan as I have a soft spot for Spurs because I know a lot of Spurs fans. One of these fans had never complained about Spur's grounds use for the he NFL yet his brother ACTUALLY was checky about"How did I ever end up getting into American Football 🏈?" AND he's a Chelsea fan. I find it ironic that I'm not into Rugby, cars or motorcycles but I liked this video being presented by Richard Hammond who presentsTop Gear which is a TV show about cars? I loved the camera man not knowing the rules😅😅. After all not all sports cameramen even like the sports that they are filming eg snooker.😅😅😅😅
COME ON YOU SPURS
Lol Derek Carr is such an awkward guy, 7:28 that's the QB of the Raiders and they never mention it
Hammond didn't know who Carr was or what a QB is. Just floatin' thru and feelin' the vibes. Oh wait, maybe that's me.
Lol you hear him passive aggressively throw shade in the Oakland coliseum?!! I guess I can’t blame hm
🤔 I don't think the presenter, as they called him over there, we would say the interviewer, had a clue who he was, that's why! 😭
Is the dressing room where the American football team gets ready always like that or did they change it
Obviously they transformed it
The fact ive seen t these peoplewalk past my house i live just 6 mins away and 1 of the teams came in my school before i left in grade/year 11. they were all american
It's Las Vegas for the raiders now
Would be more fitting for the Bears to call the stadium their home
Much like how hockey and basketball share arenas, no reason why soccer and football can't.
No
@@alec4025 YES! You need to be more open-minded.
You mean Football and American football.
@@MrBrightSide77 no, I mean soccer and football
@@valglass12 Football and handegg
NFL has always been a big deal in London and not since the start of the London games in 2007.
That's a lot of wide open seams in the turf.
No, they're closed.
hammond
Oh yeah, the NFL makes the player often play on artificial turf even though they hate it cause more injuries and association footballers have it in their contracts that they will not play on it.
I think this is fantastic with the NFL growing in popularity in all of Europe and the premier league growing in the US it’s a great opportunity for cultural diffusion
I miss Top Gear.
Hamster time 🐹
I wonder how many really like the sport or even understand it,or they just watch it because it has that america feel and atmosphere to it, like americans who watch soccer because it has that european feel to it.Im also curious how many are americans?? I'm guessing a great many like the red sox/yankees game in 2019 the vast majority were american.

@@Isleofskye Its hard to export a sport, it has to be part of a country's culture ,england is a cricket/rugby/soccer culture not a NFL/NBA/MLB culture.Filling up stadium once in a while is nothing impressive ,when the all blacks played the american rugby team in chicago they had 60K fans creating the impression that america loves rugby but ask even the biggest sports fan here about rugby and they will no idea what your talking about.Just watch the tv show "a question of sport", a british show about sports ,they'll ask tons of questions every episodes and maybe one or two will be about an american sport.if england was that interested in american sports they would have more than just two questions per episode and they wouldn't be the simple type that even a 5 year old would be able to answer.
I could not agree more. I have been to over 6,000 sporting events in my 67 years in London and barely ever heard a mention of The NFL despite all the hype...
@@Isleofskye It depends on the country in japan baseball is the most popular sport,its pretty big in south Korea and few Latin america countries in fact over a fourth of our MLB players come from Latin American countries the 2nd largest baseball stadium in the world is in Cuba and the 3rd and 4th is in japan.
In the U.K. there is a hard core of fans that follow the game and know the rules as well as any American, I work with a few. Me I haven’t got a clue what is all about, nor do I particularly care….
Hammond does a great job with these programs, but I’d love to see Clarkson go behind the scenes at an NFL game in London.
I would be funnel to see Jeremy pull his hair out watching NFL players chew up the Stamford Bridge pitch.
Can you imagine that? :) He’s a ball buster for sure.
@@tsveno72 Thats how it would start then Hammond would make a wager on one of the teams and all hell would break loose.
Tottenham Hotspur stadium is built for this. Why don't they could truly turn Hotspur stadium for 2 games per year for Jacksonville as opposed to England's soccer stadium? Plus, the NFL has their own designated locker room areas.
London Jaguars
Jags have been an England friend
ALWAYS coming to London ALways have a home game there

Id keep the NFL a novelty in England... it makes October like mardi gras.. a endless party for the month. Most NFL teams dont see a crowd like yours at home. Typically 30-40,000.. not 80,000 plus like there.
@@cmscms123456 eh as much shit as we give each other The Brits and the USA have grown closer as time went on so i wouldn't be surprised if the 2 did adopt more cultural aspects of one another.
I got ham but I'm not a hamster.
Turned it off as soon as Hammond call footy soccer
Soccer is a British word. We still have Soccer Am on UK TV even..
It’s all fun and game until the Bill’s Mafia come to town 😂😂😂
3-1 hehe
If the NFL really wants to make the NFL work in the UK, they should try to eventually establish two teams in England; one at Tottenham, and the other probably in in the north in Manchester.
After the way sales went for the Munich this season my expectation is for the NFL to somehow make multiple international teams (UK, Germany, Mexico, Canada, others). They cant just add 1 team. It will be a move that creates multiple teams do either fit into the existing divisions OR the entire NFL divisional bracket will be changing drastically. It will happen but its going to cause MAJOR change. As a big fan, Im all for it!
BUT what will come first is more and more international players similar to what the NBA is doing. Gotta get star power from other countries to build even more hype out of the states.
why is this just now showing up in my feed??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Same here. Algorithm fails again.
When was this film?? Because it looks like no covid protocol was being followed.
Anyway, the transformation is amazing 👍👍
Right there in the Vid, the stadium states 2019.

No. Soccer. Look up the history and origin of the word. After you did that, learn to accept the facts and cultural differences.
It would be more in the clubs line to concentrate on footballing matters rather than NFL, shambolic running of the footballing side of things from Daniel Levy. It's OK though, he'll make plenty more millions and that's all that matters 😒.
i can promise you that wouldn't be the nicest changing room those NFL players have been in. You act like america is a poor 3rd world country..
Ugh, we consistently send the dregs of the NFL teams over. Wanna give them a show? Give them the Super Bowl.

I don’t know what your strange possession about trashing everything is about .
As a matter of interest the average attendance for the London monarchs in the European football league was over 40,000 and in the 1991 final it was 61,000
Nothing personal Steve but you are giving a perfect example of what I don't like about The NFL which I believe is all about moving locations, irrespective of the wishes of the fans, and all about $$$$$$$$ in merchandise sales, etc and little about the game itself. It's Hype, Hype, and more hype, and YOU are given a classic illustration of that. READY?
" Crowds at Wembley averaged 40,483 for the five games. However DWINDLING INTEREST ( in a City of 7/8 Million people ! ) - even with the advent of a new local rivalry with the Scottish Claymores - forced the team to shift its home ground to White Hart Lane, home of Tottenham Hotspur F.C., when the league resumed play in 1995, and that year average attendance fell to 16,343..."
England Monarchs
"Towards the end of the 1997 season, the team was rebranded the England Monarchs and travelled the country, playing home games at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre in London, Ashton Gate (home of Bristol City F.C.), and Alexander Stadium, an athletics stadium in Birmingham - another step down in the size and quality of the stadiums used. This venture divided opinion dramatically amongst the Monarch's support and rather than increase interest in the team, attendances slumped to an average of 5,944. FIVE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND 44 !!!!!
Confirmation that the Monarchs were to close down came in July that year."
SO STEVE when I said " the average crowd was just 6,000 " I was SPOT ON !!!!
So you're just basing your assumptions on what you've heard and the near non-existence following of the sport in London. Wow. All you non-Americans who don't like the sport think alike. Makes Americans look rather open minded and fair.
@@TickleMeElmo55 Not at all. The London Monarchs went "National" due to ridiculous attendances of under 6m000 (at the merciful end ) in a City of 8 Million, mostly, Sports fans !!The NATIONAL Monarchs team closed down and they closed down The European League. There IS a clue there somewhere, mi amigo :)
We are continually bombarded by the media to take an interest in late night channels showing NFL that gets pushed further and further into the small hours of TV. that is what I do not like which is the surrounding hype. The USA are insular in that Football(Not NFL) is the World game......but not in The USA,mein Freund...
I think that in 20 to 40 years Europe could possibly handle having 4 teams: two in England, and the other two in Germany.
They don’t need to compete with soccer; just carve out a niche for the rabid European sports fan.
1 team in London would be enough. The travel just between american states is hard enough
@@ATLMike94 id say two teams one for england and one for scotland imagine the rivalry
It's not that hard it's a 17 game season with 9 home games....
Murican propaganda.. Football😂😂😂.. Bubble wrap rugby., you mean... I don't make UK u.s. The same.. Culture difference is beautiful, why travel and be amazed, so keep it u.s.
cry about it little boy 😂
What do you think about London being mostly non white and Muslim?
"It's certainly not uncommon for players to draw blood during a game, but in the instance where that happens, the player must be subbed out until the bleeding is stopped. While all of the aforementioned injuries are undesirable, they are certainly not severe in the long run of things." "What could be severe, though, is the potential for head and neck injuries given that rugby players do not wear helmets. Should two players collide head to head in a game, the consequences can be dire. Fortunately, there are rules surround the contact area that limit the dangers of head to head contact." "Firstly is the fact that players must wrap up when attempting to tackle. This prevents players from launching into the contact shoulder or head first. Second is the laws around tackle height. Because you are not allowed to tackle someone above the shoulders, contact with the head and neck is mitigated significantly." about rugby now abt football, (same article btw). "In football, the protective gear prevents a number of injuries, particularly to the shoulders and upper body. Having pads on certainly reduces the risk of cuts and abrasions, but on the flip side it can lead players to think they are invincible, particularly with the use of their heads.
Having a helmet on allows players to use their head as a weapon, with blocking, tackling, and running the ball. While it is definitely effective to use your head to tackle, it's really dangerous in the long run when it comes to repeated head injuries and micro-concussions. Over time, players can sustain injuries to the brain through consistent trauma to the head both in practice and in games.
Furthermore, football does not require players to wrap up on tackles so guys can leave their feet going into a collision and use their shoulders or head on hits.'' In conclusion "The data would suggest that rugby is indeed a more dangerous sport in the sense that a player is more likely to get hurt while playing. However, the severity of injury is likely higher in football, considering the nature of the collisions to be at a greater speed and with less control. Both sports lend players to a greater risk of long-term health issues than other sports, but are also continually making improvements year in and year out to make their respective games safer. " So if u don't want to read this basically just read the conclusion.
@@philmccracken179 what's your opinion about nfl having majority black players. Where are all those superior wh!te men.
Yet you probably expect America to accept the sport soccer/football. Nice hypocrisy and double standard.
To the VAST majority of Europeans, especially the English, American Football is too SLOW, too BORING and too EASY.
WHAT! NO OFFSIDE RULE?
What do you mean OFFENSIVE TEAMS AND DEFENSIVE TEAMS?
They spend more time standing around talking instead of PLAYING.
Soccer moves SO FAST there is no time to have separate teams, it is 100% action 100% of the time.
This has been tried before and when the novelty wore off, so did any interest in American Football leaving nothing more than a gigantic YAWN.
Watch out for the YAWNS.
Yes there is an offside rule. Try looking up the rules before making yourself look a tit. Oh and they’ve been playing games in 🇬🇧 every year for the last 15 years and every game sells out in record time. I don’t think anyone is worried about it leaving a “gigantic yawn” 😂😂😂

@@Isleofskye AGREED. I am English and have lived in the USA FOR OVER 50 years. My wife is English also we come from the same small town in the W Midlands in the BLACK COUNTRY.
Although I went to a King Edward VI Grammar School where we played a gentleman’s game, I have always loved Football.
As my father used to say Rugby is a gentleman’s game played by hooligans but Football is a hooligans game played by gentlemen.
We come home to visit very often and we are very close to our families in spite of the distance. Several years ago we toured around Scotland with my wife’s sister and her husband, we went to the Isle of Skye and stayed in an old country home turned into a Hotel. In the evening a very large man in full Highland regalia would march out to the lawn overlooking a Sea Loch and play the pipes to announce that dinner was served.
What a moving and emotional sight that was it still brings a tear to my eyes.
Best wishes, stay safe.
@@mikesegger7068 The mere fact that you can throw a pass forward over the heads of the other team to one of your own who can stand inside the end zone over the goal line, means that there is NO OFFSIDE RULE.
I stand by the GIGANTIC YAWN comment, you just can’t get around the fact that AMERICAN Football consists of a very short period of frenetic action, most of which is between players who do not even handle the ball but they handle each other.
Followed by a long period of everyone standing around trying to decide what happens next.
It is just plain BORING.
By the way I am English and have lived in the US for over 51 years, 33 in Chicago and now in Southern TN. GO TITANS, yawn.
Lovely sentiments, My Friend.
Good Luck and stay safe.
