Where would the "foreign games" be played? And how would they be divided? Waller notes that there won't be 16 different venues for the 17th games. More likely would be a "mini-season ticket" of perhaps four games in one city or country.
"It is very early, but our thought is what we could end up with is every week there would be one international game," he said. "We won't have all of them on the same week. And what you would do is look at taking, for instance, four games to London. Play a game in Wembley each month, having eight different teams coming through. A game in September, one in October, one in November and one in December.
"It's a great opportunity from a fan perspective, because they get half of what a fan in the United States gets, four games to eight."



Yeah four random football games a year.
How many fans in say Oklahoma City or Portland, OR or Salt Lake City would be interested in such a package?

Re: NFL looking at expanding to 17 games

the nfl is not stupid. many people in the US recognize the product is not nearly what it should be. All they do is market and the quality of the games has deteriorated. Why would they bother to correct anything when they can just expand the market and become an immature product again?
