No way no how. I think the teams that agree to this are stupid.
You are losing a home game, it can only hurt you.
Unless your opponent is the Bucs,Lions,Raiders,Browns or Rams

I voted "no". For a simple reason: it's a BS way of doing things. Under no circumstances is it a "home" game for ANYONE. Why? BECAUSE IT'S NOT AT HOME!
If they really want to do this, the only way I think it should be done is this:
1.) Pick four cities. The first three are pretty obvious: Toronto, Mexico City, and London. For the fourth, I don't know, but maybe go simple and pick Vancouver.
2.) Give each of those cities four games a year.
3.) Expand the schedule to 17 games: 8 home, 8 away, and 1 international. (Or alternately, just consider one of the "away" games as the international game, for eveyone.)
Voila. Problem solved. Every week there is one "international game" in one of those four cities. Each city gets one game per month, pretty much (Sep/Oct/Nov/Dec).
(And don't schedule teams that would obviously be more of a "home" game, i.e., don't put Buffalo in Toronto, or the Seahawks in Vancouver, or Dallas in Mexico City.)
Since this is a sports message board, here are some stats for you: Percentage of times in recorded history that people have vociferously objected to change: 100. Percentage of times in recorded history that those objecting to change have, in the long run, succeeded: Zero.
If you attend games live, you miss out on up to 12.5% of your team's meaningful games.
Fans who attend every home game miss out on one out of eight (12.5%) regular season (preseason is not 'meaningful') games when one of their team's home games is played elsewhere.What does this mean?
I think you should read and try to understand about the salary cap ONE has nothing to do with the other...and if the pats do give up a home game just to make more money i would like to see them at lest keep there good player's and not just trade them away or let them go in FA
