We all knew this was coming, but its certainly warranted after how awesome Scotland was here.

I always wanted to make it to Edinburgh for a Tattoo.
Do you think they could combine the game to that weekend, I’d fly in for that.

**** just realized tattoos are usually August (I think), and they might play in Glasgow too.

Well that would suck all the way around, but I’d consider flying in from DEU just the same.

I think a Scotland national team match at Foxboro and a Patriots game in Scotland would make for a great annual tradition.

Each year take the opponent the Patriots visit that year with the worst record and schedule that game in Scotland.

I get the feeling a tattoo isn't what I think it is

Scotland is great. The men wear a dress and the women don't. There is plenty to see and drink, and then drink some more. Glasgow is very cool and Edinburgh (pronounced Edinboro because everyone was drunk) is a great walk.

Probably not. And as @Gumby said, the one he's thinking of is traditionally in August.

I think they would play at Murrayfield the rugby stadium in Edinburgh since that has over 67,000 seats and loads of space outside for people to drink and to put up loads of merch tents ect that the NFL love to do.

The national football/soccer stadium in Glasgow only has 52,000 and the other 2 big stadiums in Glasgow that host Rangers and Celtic wouldn't be used cause it would be during their season.

I wouldn't worry about either anyway if it did happen you could quite easily visit both cities on the same day, Glasgow to Edinburgh on a train is just over an hour and only costs about $20 US for a return ticket and they run almost every 10 minutes.

Love the place. Might be easier to find a spot in the UK where translators aren't required, though.

Scottish Pride

Whenever I think about the Scots this clip from Chariots of Fire comes to mind.

Sorry I’m incompetent when it comes to posting things like this in the nicer way others here do.

I think of The Blue Nile.

Yaaass. Would absolutely love this. Murrayfield Stadium in the capital, Edinburgh, or Hampden Stadium in Glasgow, would be absolutely rocking for this. There are many of us Pats fans in Scotland.

All it takes is for their franchise player to say "I'm not playing overseas" and that team scrap that plan immediately.

This is true, but there is no indication that Maye would be opposed to this. By all accounts, the team and staff have loved these trips.

There is only one response to such a situation: immediate suspension until traded.

No team can allow any player to usurp authority to that level.
