“The fan reaction we’ve had in London has been extraordinary. We would like to feed that passion,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said in hopes of expanding the number of UK games this 2010 NFL season.

The first regular-season NFL game London hosted in 2007, when the New York Giants beat the Miami Dolphins 13-10 and last years 37-32 New Orleans Saints win over the San Diego Chargers produced sell-out games, which equals easy money for NFL interests.

“We have a great fan base in the UK. There have been discussions of taking the second game and playing it in another market in the UK. That’s something that we’ll evaluate. Whether it’s two consecutive games in the same stadium, we don’t necessarily know. But we have a great foundation.”

With Londons Wembley Staduim hosting this years UK NFL game between the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Millennium Stadium is looking for their oppportunity to host a second game as the idea has drawn league owners support.

However with this proposal some recognize the fact that one of the teamsl looses out on the deal and Goodell admits, “The negative is taking the home game away from the fans,” as well as the team that would have had a regularly scheduled home game that week.

But Goodell reiterates that “It’s another reason why potentially restructuring the season and changing two pre-season [games] into regular-season [games] can be something that is beneficial to the fans.”

Despite that slight back and forth I am certain NFL owners minds are made up as this type of decision will draw favorable monetary value during these survival mentality economic times.
