As regards the time and distance questions, this is little problem. Hopping a plane from Boston to London East, or LA West, is about the same time in the air. As far as broadcasting it would actually be beneficial. A 1:00 PM Sunday kickoff in London would be just right for "Sunday Night Football" in the USA.

Actually it goes the other way with the time change. A 1 PM Sunday kickoff in London would be 7 AM for those of us on the east coast. So if they played the London game as a night match (say 8 PM), then it would be 2 PM here on the east coast.

anyway i really hope that the game will be played and i hope it will be official very soon.

the athomsfera for one NFL game in Wembley will be exciting

i am sure many many fans will arrive from everywhere and it will be a sold out in my opinion...

so: let's wait the confirmation and i hope that NE will play in Uk !

If they were going to take away a home game I kinda wish they had told us season tix holders before I paid the bill for 10 (30) home games this week. The extra $267 would be well spent on my part.

you guys obviously don't think it's a very good idea but id love to go to a Pats game but aslong as we don't give one of our home games i will be extatic

SF vs. AZ in Mexico City last year? Even though they may not seem as "important" as N.E. to us, they are division rivals.
