Should London get the Super Bowl?

Post by saxitoxin »

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan wants to bring the Super Bowl to the U.K.’s capital. “The Super Bowl is really important for us,” he said. “We have a number of American football games and I want it to come here because we want American sports fans in Europe to come to London to watch them, not just go to America.”

Not sure that American Football fans could deal with English hooligans.

Not so fast, the Brits have to learn they need to spend money to make money (as in Dollar$).
... and Superbowl hosting moolah don't come cheap ...not to mention the brags.

• Firstly, UK needs to invest in six, no, make it eight, NFL expansions teams scattered around various urban scenters of their archipelago.

• Secondly, they need to build a suitable venue in which to hold the event. Fortunatley there are several largely vacant lots in downtown London (Hyde Park, Regent Park, etc) that could be converted into one or more grand, American-style Mega-arenas.

Fortunately, auctioning off naming rights will be able to help partially off-set costs:

Europeans who unironically follow American Football are a mega ick. I can only hope this is a ploy by Khan to scan all their faces outside the stadium then put them on a Border Force blacklist.

What if Khan is planning an ironic Super Bowl?

Pstt, btw, I've seen that supposed Austrian (vpn?, expat?) chatting up about American Football on GC. He was being real sincere-like about it too.
