Saints to play Chargers in London

SAINTS TO PLAY CHARGERS IN LONDON

When Drew Brees left the Chargers and signed with the Saints, he likely never dreamed that his opportunity to prove the folks in San Diego that they kept the wrong guy would occur on the other side of an ocean.

Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the New Orleans Saints will "host" the San Diego Chargers on October 26 in London.

The game will be played at Wembley Stadium, the same venue where the Dolphins hosted the Giants in October 2007. There was some thought that the game wouldn't be played at Wembley again, because the slick soccer pitch coupled with a cold rain made the thing a sloppy mess last time around.

This time, the league wanted to provide England with a potentially high-scoring game, and the Chargers and Saints have two of the league's marquee offenses.

it would prob end up being over $3000, but theres no way in hell you can get a ticket unless you know someone in london to buy you one

each team might be given a few to sell. since ive been a season ticket holder for 10 yrs i get on a priorty list for a raffle, at least thats how its been done in the past, we'll see.

that would be clean going to a "home" game in another country.....even tho the chargers ain't home.....but.....yeah......it'd still be clean to go to an nfl game in a different ass country

 

[King Spadez]

If I had the loot I'd sure as hell go. How far is Amsterdam from London?

 

[Stealth]

You can take a bus in about 8 or 10 hours. Car would be even faster. Train too.

^please tell me your joking, you do know that england is an island right

 

[ColdBlooded]

That is shitty for the Chargers. Talk about jet lag. Are east coast teams that shitty in the NFL that they have to send teams from central and pacific time zones all the way to bloody england for there to be any kind of points scored?

Wow this guy really needs to get a life. I doubt he would go into the heart of N.O. and say that. He is the type to duck his head and keep it moving scared to say anything.


On to the topic. I think this is a good idea for both teams involved. Iam looking forward to this game.


You can get London fare cheap. Try and stay on the outskirts because it may be cheaper to stay at say a hostel or small bed and breakfast.

 

[gimpypimp]

I wonder if the players like this at all…I sure as hell wouldn’t.

You do know there is an Eurotunnel between Calais and Dover right, moron?

 

[coondogg26]

work on your grammar there buddy, moron?

I think its good for the players. It negates home field advantage. Which sometime dominates the whole game.

 

[coondogg26]

im pretty sure they have the bye around the game which would make it alot easier for the players

 

[King Spadez]

I think both teams get a bye after this game. Thats happened with the G-men and Miami last year.
