Yes the NFL comes to London once a year for a game now! You have to enter into a raffle & if your name is chosen then you can buy tickets. Well back in February my name was chosen!!! Three of my colleagues wanted tickets as well, so we bought four tickets. As life would have it, two people had to back out so another colleague & one of my friends decided to come along. The game was between Tampa Bay & the Patriots. It was held at Wembley Stadium which holds 80,000. There was even a big tailgate party leading up to the game. It was filled with basic NFL facts. They sold chilli cheese dogs! There was a tent though that had the Lombardi Trophy on display!!! Did you know that thing is made by Tiffany's... It all makes sense now why I am drawn to football. The game really wasn't a game at all as Tampa Bay really didn't show up. The stands weren't very loud unless a big play went down & people remained seated unless they were cheering which as stated before was not that much. Those things were the reminder that we were watching the NFL, but were not in the States. But it was big fun none-the-less! I hope my name gets drawn this yr too! What a brilliant treat it was... the NFL in London!
