Topic: 49ers at Wembley 2013

[ScottishNiner]

I got 6 tickets in block 218, row 14, seats 109-104 

I have confirmations from several 49er fans on facebook so I know block 215, 217 will be crowded by 9er fans and Cains (a former 'Diser) will be in 518 (the level above 218)

Yeah, I expect the place to be a sea of Red and Gold.  Who cares if it's meant to be a Jags home game!

I'll be over the other side of the stadium, in Block 551, Row 16, seats 343 & 344.

There's a good chance we'll see the Superbowl Champs @ Wembley this year. Wouldn't that be something!

I won't know our actualy seats until a month or two before the game but I paid for sideline, club-level so hopefully that's what we'll get

I am most likely going to attend the Steelers v Vikings as well and keep my "perfect attendance" record intact

Roger Goodell plans to expand NFL presence in London
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000209140/article/roger-goodell-plans-to-expand-nfl-presence-in-london

With both London games already sold out this season, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has visions of expanding the overseas schedule in the future.

Speaking at a New York University conference Tuesday, Goodell revealed that the NFL is planning to add a third London game each year. In fact, Goodell told the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch that there's a chance the Jacksonville Jaguars will begin playing two home games in London annually.


Welcome to the London Jaguars!

Welcome to the London Jaguars!

Attendance might be better and they who knows they may even win 3 or 4 games per year!

 

[gridiron49]

I wonder what it will do to their attendance back "home"..... Will people be more likely to turn up if they feel their team is ready to go elsewhere or will they give up on them?

[Scoots]

Good, pick the one team name we say differently.

[hojer49]

Huh?

[Scoots]

Americans and Brits say Jaguar differently.

If something is good then more is better, right? Well, not necessarily.

Although Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis thinks playing overseas in London against the San Francisco 49ers this season is “awesome,” he has some slight reservations when it comes to playing two games.

“That would be tough, Lewis told FOXSports.com Saturday at his annual youth football camp. “That would be real tough. That would be a lot of miles on our body. I’m sure it will be figured out, but personally I’m not for it. I guess it’s not my decision though.”

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell indicated earlier this month that he would like to see a franchise move overseas permanently. And an idea to play two games – a road and away game – at Wembley Stadium, which was suggested by Jaguars.com, could be a good barometer to measure fan interest.
