they can get 40,000 in germany for NFLe, so i'm not sure it'll be a huge problem selling out a single game.

Looks like I'm in the minority, I think it's a good idea. The Germans especially seem to be rapidly embracing American football. The games in Mexico and Japan during pre-season have been successful at drawing fans so far. Not excited about losing a home game but since everyone is (seemingly) equally affected then 'thems the breaks'.

American sport soon to be a World sport. It'll only affect a fan once/twice(?) every 16 years. Who cares if the 49er's and Browns play in Uzbekistan?

Is there a way they could mess around with the bye week, and make it so the international game would be an away game for both teams?? If they rotate it on this 16 yr cycle, maybe that would be possible?
