If you were honestly talking about Madrid, there are 2 good options- Santiago Bernebeu (home of Real Madrid) or Wanda Metropolitano (home to Atlético Madrid)
Now that the NFL has a 17 game season, I've had an idea that each team should play a neutral site game each year, along with eight home and away games.
Extreme marketing idea: a team called the Barnstormers that plays 17 games around the world. Move their schedule from East to West. Germany to Scandinavia to England Ireland Wales Spain... second half Canada Mexico South America then 1 in Hawaii and finish in Japan. Imagine the merchandising... new unis for every game... just like Oregon😂😂😂
FivePoints: Says Camp Nou is in Madrid FC Barcelona and Real Madrid: *So you have chosen...death* How to trigger two fanbases at the same time We all know the real answer is the Rungrado May Day Stadium in Pyongyang. Host of the world famous Arirang Mass Games. Up until 2020 it was the world's largest stadium (recently beaten by a renovation of one of India's stadiums; don't worry we will get our revenge) so we have more than enough capacity to host it
And "Nou" is just pronounced as "new". Also, if you want to fantasy-book a game at the current San Siro, hurry. It's being replaced by a new facility by AC Milan and Inter Milan, and will presumably be demolished shortly after the new facility opens
Germany should definitely be under consideration, not just for a game or two, but maybe a team. Germany has over 500 American Football leagues from youth to semi-pro, all due to the NFL Europe league which was most popular in Germany.
@@rustyshackelford3299 Pretty much every German says, that this was the worst thing ever done and aren't patriotic because of that. I think there are not many countries who are teaching kids so much about Hitler and why everything he did was terrible and shouldn't repeat.

How about Berlin’s Olympic Stadium? It can hold close to 75,000 fans. A lit Olympic torch would look cool during a night game. And, it’s got historical significance. This is where Jesse Owens won his gold medals in 1936.
@Lets go Raiders it’s still in use, it was renovated for the World Cup Germany hosted a few World Cups ago… they found a HUGE unexplored WW2 bomb during digging that needed to be defused or it would have destroyed a big part of the stadium.

Estadio Hernando Siles - La Paz, Bolivia - An NFL game at 12,000 feet above sea level. Gazprom Arena - St Petersburg, Russia - Showcase the NFL for corrupt Russian fossil fuel company in front of some of the most racist fans in Europe.

I'd say Stadio Velodrome over Parq de Princes for France. It's holds about 61k which seems to be more in line with the typical NFL stadium. Another for Germany: Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. Have the Steelers play a home game there.
Murrayfield Stadium, Celtic Park, Hampden Park & Ibrox Stadium would be great in appealing to Scottish Audiences, we did have an NFL Europe team that won a world bowl in 1996, the Claymores so there's an audience here too.
NFL has already announced that they want to play a game in Germany next year or in 2023 and Munich is one of the three possible host cities, so Allianz Arena is actually not far fetched at all.
Problem is it clashes with Football season and Bayern wouldn't want the Yanks tearing the shit out of there pitch nor would any European Football Club for that matter Only German Stadiums that could be Considered are the Berlin Olympiastadion IF Herthas plans to build a new stadium go ahead, Munich Olympiastadion through it is ageing or the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen which has a retractable pitch

😅@@banjoplayingbison2275 the Bills take up all of the football oxygen in NY state and not even NYC is big enough to justify having a 2nd team in the state 🦬
NFL is shown regularly on TV in Brazil, and I know a number of Brazilians who watch NFL. Combined with recently built/upgraded stadiums across the country from the 2014 World Cup, and the NFL has a great chance to host a game at Arena da Amazônia in Manaus. LOL. But being more serious, it would have to be at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro.
I think time zones play a huge role here. Ultimately, all the view revenue would still come from the US. So anything beyond Hawaii or Western Europe are out. Which is a shame, bc I feel like Russians would love American Football. Ireland and Germany are my realistic picks. Also, move the Jets to Toronto.
not trying to be that annoying guy, but the nfl should come to brazil we have a couple of nice stadiums: allianz park, neo química arena, morumbi and maracanã not to mention that the football market here is quite big and we'd definitely fill up a 50k-60k capacity stadium
I would add Murrayfield in Edinburgh if you want to expand the game in the UK, and the Waldstadion in Frankfurt. Both are former NFL Europe stadiums as well. Frankfurt Galaxy was a rare case where tens of thousands would actually go to home games. Maybe Montreal's Stade Olympique? They need to pay for that new roof somehow.
Australia is pretty much possible. Especially with the rise of Jordan Maliata with the Eagles, this should be used as an opportunity by the league to expand their marketing. But it bugs me how we'd be likely to get our first NFL game before the NBA one. Given basketball is much bigger here lmao
The main issue would be finding a time slot to suit both American and Australian audiences...there's a 15, 16, or 17-hour time difference between Chicago and Melbourne (depending on time of year), for example.
The 'G is an interesting proposal, though I think it would be more suited at Stadium Australia. Admittedly it is 20k less than the 'G, the stadium configuration would be more better at Stadium Australia, not to mention how mad they are for Rugby League in Sydney and the similarities between Rugby League and American Football. Not knocking Melbourne, though, since they are mad about sport down there too
As an AFL fan, ANZ is actually a better option since it’d take up the full field and since there’s also been a game played there before. Also Sydney is more well known to the world than Melbourne. I mean have you ever seen Melbourne in a Hollywood movie. Would be cool to see a NFL game at the G tho. Would be cool to see NFL on a field that is the home of AFL and Cricket
@@OldFossil I'll admit I am a primarily Aussie Rules fan myself. I just know from Super League/NRL games at Adelaide Oval (before upgrade) and one International Rules match the 'G the rounder venues do have their drawbacks, especially if you are at ground level. I have heard from my dad that even after the upgrade, advertising signs can block the view of Rugby League matches at Adelaide Oval, and I can see that happening at the G too
@@lynxraide definitely, nobody wants their view blocked by advertising. A big NRL would do the trick just fine. ANZ hosted NFL preseason once in the 2000s I think
As Spanish, I can tell you that NFL market is quite large here. By the way, Barcelona Dragons first played at the Olympic Stadium, in 2003 they played at Mini Estadi (Mini Stadium) which was FCB property (said stadium doen't exist anymore)
The same with Germany!!! The EFL will also play a big factor if they do well. But the first place should clearly be Germany. - Most fans in Europe - Probably the strongest American football leagues in Europe GFL1 / GFL2 - The strongest teams in Europe - Strong youth teams -> potential for the future - Great football history Teams like: -> New Yorker Lions with most GFL Championships -> Düsseldorf Panther the oldest active club with the 2 most GFL Championships Or teams from NFL Europe: Rhine Fire, Berlin Thunder or Frankfurt Galaxy with the first EFL Championship - Headquarters of the EFL -> currently still with clear German dominance - Central location in Europe - Larger share of Americans (soldiers in particular) etc... But Spain would definitely be very cool too!!!
Other suggestions: Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund: Cool design and can hold up to 80,000. Color scheme is black and yellow making it an ideal spot for a Steelers game. Stade Velodrome in Marseille: holds up to 61K and has the appeal of novelty Principality Stadium in Cardiff: holds 70k+ and you could have the Welsh fans sing the National Anthem a capella (Seriously, look up a video of Welsh fans singing their national anthem in that stadium before a rugby match. It will give you chills.)
You should add Maracaña in Rio, Brazil 🇧🇷 Capacity of almost 80,000 We hosted an olympic games in2016 and an world cup in 2014, so there is the infrastructure The NFL is the fastest growing american league, more than the nba or mlb, for instance they started having the superbowl on movie theates over here and they were all crowded. And an nba team played a preseason game here Tom Brady, the goat has a brazilian wife( come on nice argument this one ahha) In fact I think the pats owner even said they were considering it Edit: a guy mentioned timezones, so Brasil is in south america, the difference in time zones to the us is NOT big (1 hour from new york time)
As a big NFL fan from Melbourne, Australia I have thought for years that Id love to see an official regular season NFL game at the MCG. Hell I'd take a pre-season game for starters! They had an NFL pre season game or 2 in Sydney in the early 2000's; but nothing since. Hopefully that changes!
I don't know why there has been no games played in Germany in decades. Until recently they were the 3rd biggest market (now Mexico) behind Canada for American football. Hell, not until last year that I found Austria has a amateur American football league. And now there is the ELF (European League of Football) founded last year consisting of teams from 5 countries. They even have an agreement with the NFL to use team names from the old NFL Europe. Frankfurt, Cologne, Berlin, and Barcelona will be able to use their original NFL Europe team names again. Central Europe is ready and prime for an NFL expansion team. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_League_of_Football
That's the point. Germany has the most Amiercan Fooball fans in Europe. Germany has the strongest football leagues GFL1/GFL2 (with the Austrians and their AFL) and with the strongest teams. Germany has the EFL with a clear dominance. (Dusseldorf Rhine Fire is also back) Dusseldorf is just like Frankfurt and Munich in the round for an NFL game. Germany should clearly be the first/next in Europe to get an NFL game. Football is growing fast (also in the youth) and the potential is definitely there.
Agreed, I love the design of Allianz Arena. Really stands out in the stadium world. Even better at night when it lights up though my favorite remains the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing because come on, that thing's a GEM. I'd love to see an NFL game in a unique venue like that one in a unique setting like Beijing
Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, Germany, would be amazing. As you said about the UK you should tackle the complete market, not just a city. Pros: -The Westfalenstadion is with a capacity of 81,365 the biggest stadium in Germany -Dortmund's soccer team, Borussia Dortmund, developed US-Stars like Christian Pulisic or Gio Reyna -Since Dortmund itself was a Soccer World Cup host-city twice (1974, 2006) the city /region definitely has enough infrastructure to host the NFL -1h train ride away from other metropoles like Cologne or Düsseldorf
NFL should seriously consider bringing a game to Brazil. There's is a somewhat large fanbase and we have plenty of stadiums that were built for the World Cup that would be suitable. A game being played in Maracanã would certainly sell out.
I get the big house, but I’ve always dreamed of a Steelers vs Eagles game in Happy Valley. Still a massive stadium and an intrastate rivalry. My childhood dream was a last second switch of Super Bowl venue if its was a turnpike bowl, but that’s obviously impossible
I doubt they would use Old Trafford. The biggest problem all of the fans have is the stadium has not been upgraded despite multiple assurances from the Glazers. It would be like playing in Central Florida’s rusty bounce house. My choice for stadium would be Branson High School. Get some lights out there and then let a couple of teams play there. It would be wild to see players having to show up in full pads because there is not enough dressing room space. 👍🏻👍🏻plus you and Brandon can do another road trip!
@@banjoplayingbison2275 AFL had hosted exhibition games in North America before but the field dimensions look so weird. I don't think a stadium in North America could fit in a proper footy oval.
I know Frankfurt and Dusseldorf are on the NFL's shortlist, but Munich should be the favourite to get awarded the German International game from 2022/23. Surprised that Berlin wasn't considered, but having been to the Olympiastadion, the running track around the pitch does mean the view from the Upper Tiers can feel like you're miles away compared to when I watched Bears v Raiders at Tottenham's ground in 2019. Having worked at Anfield & Old Trafford (used to do radio work covering another Premier League team), if the league were looking to add a Northern UK venue, the former should be the clear favourite. The upgrades to the main stand and the stadium facilities as a whole should make it more appealing for the likes of Goodell wanting swanky VIP boxes, plus its more suited for modern needs of visiting media personnel etc. Whereas the Glazers have left the OT infrastructure to deteriorate - it's not quite reached Oakland Coliseum levels of disrepair, but it's not far off with leaking roofs in some parts and the worst press box I have ever worked in!
A couple of things: First, if the NFL were to play at the MCG, they'd want the game shown live in the US. If the game were a 7 pm Sunday local start, that's 3 am Eastern US time. If the game was a 12 noon Sunday local start, it would be a 8 pm Eastern US kickoff Saturday. By law and by custom the NFL doesn't play Saturday games until December so a game in Australia may not work. Second, most of the European stadiums on the list aren't designed for American football. For example, the locker rooms are each designed for about 23 people who are about 5'9" 180 lbs.. NFL teams dress 53 people who are around 6'2" 220 or more on average so they would need to redo the locker room areas or build new ones. This is why they play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It was specifically designed to host NFL games. You'd also need to block off seats in the lower bowl because people wouldn't be able to see over the sideline. Third, NFL games do a number on grass fields. This is another reason the NFL plays the London games at Spurs. They remove the soccer pitch and play the game on the turf field under it. Teams may not want to have to host the NFL game then replace the turf right after the game.
For Melbourne, First Tuesday in November (Melbourne Cup Day) is a public holiday, so a Tuesday 11am kick-off for "Monday Night Football" (8pm US ET Monday) would work perfect. Then give both teams the bye the following week. Plus the locker/changeroom areas at the MCG are quite large, and could easily accomodate temproary lockers for a 53 player squad.
Give this a thought: the NFL running a contest for high schools in NFL markets to host a regular season game. Necessary upgrades at no cost to the school. High Schools out side an NFL market could be done, too.
Important note: Man U have played exhibition games in US football stadiums. If the Premier League ever played actual games in the US, fans there would riot.
The NFL market in Spain is growing every year. Barcelona is the host of the Barcelona Dragons, former NFL Europe team and now part of the European League of Football. As of today, Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid is getting a renovation. Real Madrid's president plants to bring the NFL to Madrid once the renovations are done. Spain will be an ideal location for a NFL season game due to the nice weather we have during the autumn
The NFL playing games in Australia would be an excellent idea. Who knows it may lead to the AFL (Aussie Rules Football) playing a few games on US soil to reciprocate. I know for the past two years, the AFL has had its games shown on FS1 in order to grow the US audience for the sport. As for the Premier League playing league games in the US as mentioned briefly in the video, that idea isn't far off from becoming reality in the next few years because of the large fan base in the US and many clubs mainly the big ones wanting to keep the momentum going in terms gaining new fans.
No where in Western Europe is far fetched because 1) the amount of ex-pats living in these countries as well as overseas military personal is high and 2) the marketability and accessibility would generate a lot of interest as well as a higher potential for Americans to come to the game. It may not be locals that go to the games, but if a ton of tourists were coming in and spending all their money in one city, I am sure they could make it work. Also for Munich, the teams could play in October (barring any conflicts with Bayern Munich) and the NFL could market it as an Oktoberfest game.
A Bucs-Patriots game in either Anfield (owned by the Red sox owner) or Old trafford (owned by the Bucs) before Brady retires would be nuts. I can see Goodell, Kraft, and Glazer pulling a few strings to make that happen. It would also bring the intensity of the Liverpool, Man U rivalry to the NFL.
No chance of that being close to the intensity of the football The owners are not the most popular folks especially in Manchester so I doubt any of the locals would care one bit which ‘franchises’ these folks own
Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabéu, Allianz Stadium, Olympiastadion(Berlin), San Siro, Stade de France, Parc de Princes, Johan Cruyff Arena, Croke Park could host games of NFL in Europe
Allianz Arena wouldn't be too far fetched, as Munich (along with Dusseldorf and Frankfurt) are among the German cities the NFL is interested in hosting games in, and I doubt the NFL would want to host games at the Olympiastadion in Munich when Allianz Arena would be better. While a game at the MCG would be nice, if the NFL goes to Australia I'd imagine they'd go for Stadium Australia in Sydney due to the shape, sightlines, etc. It's even hosted a college football game before between Cal and Hawaii As far as UK markets go, I'd consider going outside of England, maybe Hampden Park or Murrayfield in Scotland or Millennium (Principality) Stadium in Cardiff. If the NFL returns to Japan, they'll likely either do the Tokyo Dome again, or go with Yokohama International Stadium Other stadiums that could host: Maracana: Rio de Janeiro Johan Cruyff Arena: Amsterdam Eden Park: Auckland FNB Stadium: Johannesburg Estadio da Luz: Lisbon Stade de France
One BIG problem with Anfield, Old Trafford and the Nou Camp is that their playing surfaces aren't big enough as American football needs a longer surface than football to be played on

after the Kim dynasty is done with; I would love to see a game at the May Day Stadium in Pyongyang
8:09 Well, the NFL just announced that they will be hosting a game here in 2022. :))
Anyone here after the NFL announced they’re playing some games in Munich and Frankfurt
MLB: But have you considered, a random cornfield in Iowa?
Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, México would be another place the NFL should look at!
Yes! If the UK is not just London, Mexico is not just Mexico City!
One year later Allainz Stadium has hosted a regular season game
I'd love to see a real football game where the Jets play
Jets fan have been wishing for a real football game for the past 50 years 😂☠😂☠😂☠😂☠😂☠😂
How about a NFL team actually in NYC!!!
😅@@banjoplayingbison2275 the Bills take up all of the football oxygen in NY state and not even NYC is big enough to justify having a 2nd team in the state 🦬
NFL is shown regularly on TV in Brazil, and I know a number of Brazilians who watch NFL. Combined with recently built/upgraded stadiums across the country from the 2014 World Cup, and the NFL has a great chance to host a game at Arena da Amazônia in Manaus. LOL.
But being more serious, it would have to be at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro.
just made the same comment
I think time zones play a huge role here. Ultimately, all the view revenue would still come from the US. So anything beyond Hawaii or Western Europe are out. Which is a shame, bc I feel like Russians would love American Football.
Ireland and Germany are my realistic picks. Also, move the Jets to Toronto.
not trying to be that annoying guy, but the nfl should come to brazil
we have a couple of nice stadiums: allianz park, neo química arena, morumbi and maracanã
not to mention that the football market here is quite big and we'd definitely fill up a 50k-60k capacity stadium
Croke park is one of the nicest stadiums I've ever been to, the Irish would love to see a regular season game here. it would do incredibly well
What about Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund? Biggest stadium in Germany!!!
Thanks FivePoints
I would add Murrayfield in Edinburgh if you want to expand the game in the UK, and the Waldstadion in Frankfurt. Both are former NFL Europe stadiums as well. Frankfurt Galaxy was a rare case where tens of thousands would actually go to home games. Maybe Montreal's Stade Olympique? They need to pay for that new roof somehow.
Frankfurt is actually being considered for the Germany game next year, so it could happen
Australia is pretty much possible. Especially with the rise of Jordan Maliata with the Eagles, this should be used as an opportunity by the league to expand their marketing. But it bugs me how we'd be likely to get our first NFL game before the NBA one. Given basketball is much bigger here lmao
The main issue would be finding a time slot to suit both American and Australian audiences...there's a 15, 16, or 17-hour time difference between Chicago and Melbourne (depending on time of year), for example.
The 'G is an interesting proposal, though I think it would be more suited at Stadium Australia. Admittedly it is 20k less than the 'G, the stadium configuration would be more better at Stadium Australia, not to mention how mad they are for Rugby League in Sydney and the similarities between Rugby League and American Football. Not knocking Melbourne, though, since they are mad about sport down there too
People are mad about nfl in melbourne too.
@@largechips didn't say they weren't. In fact I basically said so in the last sentence
As an AFL fan, ANZ is actually a better option since it’d take up the full field and since there’s also been a game played there before. Also Sydney is more well known to the world than Melbourne. I mean have you ever seen Melbourne in a Hollywood movie. Would be cool to see a NFL game at the G tho. Would be cool to see NFL on a field that is the home of AFL and Cricket
@@OldFossil I'll admit I am a primarily Aussie Rules fan myself. I just know from Super League/NRL games at Adelaide Oval (before upgrade) and one International Rules match the 'G the rounder venues do have their drawbacks, especially if you are at ground level. I have heard from my dad that even after the upgrade, advertising signs can block the view of Rugby League matches at Adelaide Oval, and I can see that happening at the G too
@@lynxraide definitely, nobody wants their view blocked by advertising. A big NRL would do the trick just fine. ANZ hosted NFL preseason once in the 2000s I think
I wished you would have included Bristol Motor Speedway. It hosted 150000 fans for college football back in 2016.
Would be cool in Australia, but that won’t be happening for a long time with their lockdowns
This is coming from someone who is an Australian citizen it can only get worse.
@@outlawrip-offartist4161 Yeah damn that science and all its pesky lies
We aren't in lockdown anymore?
@@brentorourke I was gonna say lol. We're actually easing up a fair bit now
Our lockdown is over.
As Spanish, I can tell you that NFL market is quite large here. By the way, Barcelona Dragons first played at the Olympic Stadium, in 2003 they played at Mini Estadi (Mini Stadium) which was FCB property (said stadium doen't exist anymore)
The same with Germany!!!
The EFL will also play a big factor if they do well.
But the first place should clearly be Germany.
- Most fans in Europe
- Probably the strongest American football leagues in Europe GFL1 / GFL2
- The strongest teams in Europe
- Strong youth teams -> potential for the future
- Great football history
Teams like:
-> New Yorker Lions with most GFL Championships
-> Düsseldorf Panther the oldest active club with the 2 most GFL Championships
Or teams from NFL Europe: Rhine Fire, Berlin Thunder or Frankfurt Galaxy with the first EFL Championship
- Headquarters of the EFL
-> currently still with clear German dominance
- Central location in Europe
- Larger share of Americans (soldiers in particular)
etc...
But Spain would definitely be very cool too!!!
Rio de Janeiro at Maracaná would be insane!
made the same comment
Other suggestions:
Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund: Cool design and can hold up to 80,000. Color scheme is black and yellow making it an ideal spot for a Steelers game.
Stade Velodrome in Marseille: holds up to 61K and has the appeal of novelty
Principality Stadium in Cardiff: holds 70k+ and you could have the Welsh fans sing the National Anthem a capella (Seriously, look up a video of Welsh fans singing their national anthem in that stadium before a rugby match. It will give you chills.)
Crazy to see these 100+ year old stadiums still up. Meanwhile NFL stadiums max out at 35 years old.
NFL should come to Brazil too, as American Football is quite popular here and the Maracanã is an beautiful stadium
You should add Maracaña in Rio, Brazil 🇧🇷
Capacity of almost 80,000
We hosted an olympic games in2016 and an world cup in 2014, so there is the infrastructure
The NFL is the fastest growing american league, more than the nba or mlb, for instance they started having the superbowl on movie theates over here and they were all crowded. And an nba team played a preseason game here
Tom Brady, the goat has a brazilian wife( come on nice argument this one ahha)
In fact I think the pats owner even said they were considering it
Edit: a guy mentioned timezones, so Brasil is in south america, the difference in time zones to the us is NOT big (1 hour from new york time)
As a big NFL fan from Melbourne, Australia I have thought for years that Id love to see an official regular season NFL game at the MCG. Hell I'd take a pre-season game for starters! They had an NFL pre season game or 2 in Sydney in the early 2000's; but nothing since. Hopefully that changes!
I don't know why there has been no games played in Germany in decades. Until recently they were the 3rd biggest market (now Mexico) behind Canada for American football. Hell, not until last year that I found Austria has a amateur American football league.
And now there is the ELF (European League of Football) founded last year consisting of teams from 5 countries. They even have an agreement with the NFL to use team names from the old NFL Europe. Frankfurt, Cologne, Berlin, and Barcelona will be able to use their original NFL Europe team names again.
Central Europe is ready and prime for an NFL expansion team.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_League_of_Football
That's the point. Germany has the most Amiercan Fooball fans in Europe. Germany has the strongest football leagues GFL1/GFL2 (with the Austrians and their AFL) and with the strongest teams. Germany has the EFL with a clear dominance. (Dusseldorf Rhine Fire is also back) Dusseldorf is just like Frankfurt and Munich in the round for an NFL game. Germany should clearly be the first/next in Europe to get an NFL game. Football is growing fast (also in the youth) and the potential is definitely there.
As a Melburnian (I live in Melbourne) I would love it if the NFL came here and a lot of my friends would love it!
Have an nfl game inside Bristol motor speedway they know how to
Baldy, the big house held a Lions-Cowboys preseason game in 1971
Ah shit
Agreed, I love the design of Allianz Arena. Really stands out in the stadium world. Even better at night when it lights up
though my favorite remains the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing because come on, that thing's a GEM. I'd love to see an NFL game in a unique venue like that one in a unique setting like Beijing
The NFL actually planned a preseason game at the bird’s nest but it was canceled
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Bowl_(NFL)
Kyle field, Bryant-Denny stadium,
Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, Germany, would be amazing. As you said about the UK you should tackle the complete market, not just a city.
Pros:
-The Westfalenstadion is with a capacity of 81,365 the biggest stadium in Germany
-Dortmund's soccer team, Borussia Dortmund, developed US-Stars like Christian Pulisic or Gio Reyna
-Since Dortmund itself was a Soccer World Cup host-city twice (1974, 2006) the city /region definitely has enough infrastructure to host the NFL
-1h train ride away from other metropoles like Cologne or Düsseldorf
The Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea 🇰🇵
Camp Nou is a master class of a stadium in Barcelona, not Madrid. That would be equivalent to saying Fenway is in New York.
NFL should seriously consider bringing a game to Brazil. There's is a somewhat large fanbase and we have plenty of stadiums that were built for the World Cup that would be suitable. A game being played in Maracanã would certainly sell out.
They should play an NFL game at Bristol Motor Speedway... The collage game was fun that they had there
Seahawks vs ? In Vancouver would be awesome.
Beaver Stadium… Steelers vs. Eagles right in the center of the state… I’m a Jets fan and even I’d find that wild.
I get the big house, but I’ve always dreamed of a Steelers vs Eagles game in Happy Valley. Still a massive stadium and an intrastate rivalry. My childhood dream was a last second switch of Super Bowl venue if its was a turnpike bowl, but that’s obviously impossible
Croke Park did not host that college game , it was held across town in the Aviva Stadium where they play the Rugby games!!
This is a fascinating video! Great job FPV!!! 👏👏👏👏👍👍
Actual content starts at 2:00
I doubt they would use Old Trafford. The biggest problem all of the fans have is the stadium has not been upgraded despite multiple assurances from the Glazers. It would be like playing in Central Florida’s rusty bounce house.
My choice for stadium would be Branson High School. Get some lights out there and then let a couple of teams play there. It would be wild to see players having to show up in full pads because there is not enough dressing room space. 👍🏻👍🏻plus you and Brandon can do another road trip!
Notable Snubs:
Johan Cruyff Arena (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Olympiastadion (Berlin, Germany)
Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen, Germany)
Hampden Park (Glasgow, United Kingdom)
Wanda Metropolitano (Madrid, Spain)
Stade France (Paris, France)
Docklands Stadium (Melbourne, Australia)
Stadium Australia (Sydney, Australia)
Perth Stadium (Perth, Australia)
Eden Park (Auckland, New Zealand)
Singapore National Stadium. Because nothing beats the experience of ordering a chicken rice bowl from the hawker center before the big game.
Croke Park would suit the league if it was ever to come to Ireland. We already have the NCAA every year.
Yea but getting the G.A.A to agree to foreign sports is not easy shall we say plus the sad thing is the NFL wouldn't let Hill 16 be used for fans
having the MCG in the thumbnail made me happy as an australian, thank you 5 points
As a Aussiephile it made me excited too!
Maybe we can trade a NFL game in Australia for a AFL game here in America!
@@banjoplayingbison2275 AFL had hosted exhibition games in North America before but the field dimensions look so weird. I don't think a stadium in North America could fit in a proper footy oval.
I want Anfield to host an outdoor hockey game. The park next Anfield is called Stanley Park, named after that Stanley
The guy who invented the Stanley steamer?
Nah, the guy who invented the “Cleveland Steamer.”
I know Frankfurt and Dusseldorf are on the NFL's shortlist, but Munich should be the favourite to get awarded the German International game from 2022/23. Surprised that Berlin wasn't considered, but having been to the Olympiastadion, the running track around the pitch does mean the view from the Upper Tiers can feel like you're miles away compared to when I watched Bears v Raiders at Tottenham's ground in 2019.
Having worked at Anfield & Old Trafford (used to do radio work covering another Premier League team), if the league were looking to add a Northern UK venue, the former should be the clear favourite. The upgrades to the main stand and the stadium facilities as a whole should make it more appealing for the likes of Goodell wanting swanky VIP boxes, plus its more suited for modern needs of visiting media personnel etc. Whereas the Glazers have left the OT infrastructure to deteriorate - it's not quite reached Oakland Coliseum levels of disrepair, but it's not far off with leaking roofs in some parts and the worst press box I have ever worked in!
A couple of things:
First, if the NFL were to play at the MCG, they'd want the game shown live in the US. If the game were a 7 pm Sunday local start, that's 3 am Eastern US time. If the game was a 12 noon Sunday local start, it would be a 8 pm Eastern US kickoff Saturday. By law and by custom the NFL doesn't play Saturday games until December so a game in Australia may not work.
Second, most of the European stadiums on the list aren't designed for American football. For example, the locker rooms are each designed for about 23 people who are about 5'9" 180 lbs.. NFL teams dress 53 people who are around 6'2" 220 or more on average so they would need to redo the locker room areas or build new ones. This is why they play at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It was specifically designed to host NFL games. You'd also need to block off seats in the lower bowl because people wouldn't be able to see over the sideline.
Third, NFL games do a number on grass fields. This is another reason the NFL plays the London games at Spurs. They remove the soccer pitch and play the game on the turf field under it. Teams may not want to have to host the NFL game then replace the turf right after the game.
For Melbourne, First Tuesday in November (Melbourne Cup Day) is a public holiday, so a Tuesday 11am kick-off for "Monday Night Football" (8pm US ET Monday) would work perfect. Then give both teams the bye the following week. Plus the locker/changeroom areas at the MCG are quite large, and could easily accomodate temproary lockers for a 53 player squad.
Now this is content, great as always
4:26 tell me you're american without saying you're american
Already surprised he knew Spain in a country
Give this a thought: the NFL running a contest for high schools in NFL markets to host a regular season game. Necessary upgrades at no cost to the school. High Schools out side an NFL market could be done, too.
I got to tour Camp Nou on a trip in 2013. I'd love to see an NFL game there
“Invade”
Sounds like a war or something
Some shots of the insides of the stadiums would've been nice.
Important note: Man U have played exhibition games in US football stadiums. If the Premier League ever played actual games in the US, fans there would riot.
Maracanã and Neo Química Arena in Brazil
Neo química emocionou ahah
I am surprised the no mention of Maracana in Rio where Brasil market is aware of NFL
having a game at the g would be insane, one of the biggest crowds the nil would get
Maracanã Stadium, Mineirão Stadium, Arena das Dunas Stadium, example of stadium in Brazil can receive a NFL Game.
A Patriots game at Anfield would be the perfect marriage of my two favorite teams
Ay! How could youa fogetta my boya Joey Flacco heh? Atsa matta fayouu!
For the Pacific Islander players you could have one at eden park, Auckland NZ
Most far-fetched Stadium actually gets an NFL game
For Australia, you could use two teams either coming onto or out of a bye week. I could see that happening.
Bristol Motor Speedway
I saw the title and the pic of the MCG and I was immediately sold! 😂
The NFL market in Spain is growing every year. Barcelona is the host of the Barcelona Dragons, former NFL Europe team and now part of the European League of Football. As of today, Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid is getting a renovation. Real Madrid's president plants to bring the NFL to Madrid once the renovations are done. Spain will be an ideal location for a NFL season game due to the nice weather we have during the autumn
Principality Stadium at 72,500 In Cardiff I would suggest a better option than Anfield which is too small for changing room facilities.
The NFL playing games in Australia would be an excellent idea. Who knows it may lead to the AFL (Aussie Rules Football) playing a few games on US soil to reciprocate. I know for the past two years, the AFL has had its games shown on FS1 in order to grow the US audience for the sport. As for the Premier League playing league games in the US as mentioned briefly in the video, that idea isn't far off from becoming reality in the next few years because of the large fan base in the US and many clubs mainly the big ones wanting to keep the momentum going in terms gaining new fans.
Bancomer or however Monterrey stadium is called, Bombonera in buenos aires, and Any Brasileirão arena with decent capacity
What about Bristol MotorSpeedway? Has plenty of seats and the view would be amazing no matter where you sit!
besides Brazil's Maracana, there's also a couple of Argentina stadiums, like Boca Junior's La Bombonnera, and River Plate's Estadio Monumental
No where in Western Europe is far fetched because 1) the amount of ex-pats living in these countries as well as overseas military personal is high and 2) the marketability and accessibility would generate a lot of interest as well as a higher potential for Americans to come to the game. It may not be locals that go to the games, but if a ton of tourists were coming in and spending all their money in one city, I am sure they could make it work.
Also for Munich, the teams could play in October (barring any conflicts with Bayern Munich) and the NFL could market it as an Oktoberfest game.
A Bucs-Patriots game in either Anfield (owned by the Red sox owner) or Old trafford (owned by the Bucs) before Brady retires would be nuts. I can see Goodell, Kraft, and Glazer pulling a few strings to make that happen. It would also bring the intensity of the Liverpool, Man U rivalry to the NFL.
No chance of that being close to the intensity of the football
The owners are not the most popular folks especially in Manchester so I doubt any of the locals would care one bit which ‘franchises’ these folks own
The MCG (or any grounds in Australia) will work, especially if they involve 2 teams with a well-known Australian Punter.
Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabéu, Allianz Stadium, Olympiastadion(Berlin), San Siro, Stade de France, Parc de Princes, Johan Cruyff Arena, Croke Park could host games of NFL in Europe
Also Etihad and Emirates stadium can also host NFL games
Allianz Arena wouldn't be too far fetched, as Munich (along with Dusseldorf and Frankfurt) are among the German cities the NFL is interested in hosting games in, and I doubt the NFL would want to host games at the Olympiastadion in Munich when Allianz Arena would be better.
While a game at the MCG would be nice, if the NFL goes to Australia I'd imagine they'd go for Stadium Australia in Sydney due to the shape, sightlines, etc. It's even hosted a college football game before between Cal and Hawaii
As far as UK markets go, I'd consider going outside of England, maybe Hampden Park or Murrayfield in Scotland or Millennium (Principality) Stadium in Cardiff.
If the NFL returns to Japan, they'll likely either do the Tokyo Dome again, or go with Yokohama International Stadium
Other stadiums that could host:
Maracana: Rio de Janeiro
Johan Cruyff Arena: Amsterdam
Eden Park: Auckland
FNB Stadium: Johannesburg
Estadio da Luz: Lisbon
Stade de France
One BIG problem with Anfield, Old Trafford and the Nou Camp is that their playing surfaces aren't big enough as American football needs a longer surface than football to be played on
Coliseum in Rome. Then flood it and do a naval battle also
Sadly naval battles don't fit in the Coliseum anymore
