NFL Season opener in Brasil
Green Bay Packers vs Philadelphia Eagles
The Green Bay Packers will open the 2024 season against the Philadelphia Eagles in São Paulo, Brazil. The NFL said Wednesday the Packers will play the Eagles on Sept. 6 at Arena Corinthians, home to the Brazilian soccer team SC Corinthians, in the league's first South American game. https://sports.yahoo.com/packers-ope...135102286.html Didn't see another thread. If I missed it my apologies. |

Are those fans attending in greater numbers going to pay near as much money as Packers or Eagles fans would pay. Is the NFL ever going to be more than a niche TV market outside of North America? I really doubt it. I think it's a drag for the teams regarding the travel, but whatever. Putting one off games on sites that require a monthly subscription is actually the bigger drag. |

Everyone in the US watched one form of NBC that night. Grown men getting paid to go to Brazil for work. Cry me a river. Only a 39k arena tho. Which is a miss i think. Last edited by Katipan; 04-12-2024 at 12:32 AM.. |

Did they choose the packers because the yellow and green in the Brazilian flag? Wouldn't shock me one bit.

The NFL thinks they are suddenly going to get people in these countries to start watching the NFL? I'm not buying it? I mean let's start dragging Pakistan cricket teams over and having them play in KC. You going to start watching on TV afterwards? Hopefully they put all the international games on Peacock and it's a complete flop. |

I'm guessing NBC got to pick the matchup. They wanted a team with a widespread loyal fanbase who would sign up for Peacock to see the game. I'm surprised they didn't choose the Cowboys.

Football is an American sport. This is ours. The big games should be on American soil so if middle class American citizens can go see their teams if they choose to. |

Lol
To get less than $200 tickets at Lambeau you have to sit far and high. And know someone. Eagles average in the $300s. Middle class, lol. |

Good God you're dumb, NFL is showing these games in these countries because there are already Millions watching, Brazil has over 20m NFL viewers. Do you complain when Taylor Swift and Beyonce take their acts overseas or when American films make Billions overseas? |
