Chiefs to Host 2015 Game in London
As part of the NFL's International Series the Chiefs are headed to London to host the Lions on November 1, 2015
The National Football League announced on Thursday that the Kansas City Chiefs have been selected to host a regular-season game overseas for the first time in franchise history. The club will take on the Detroit Lions in London on Nov. 1, 2015. The Week 8 contest will be part of the NFL’s International Series played at Wembley Stadium, one of three NFL games taking place in the United Kingdom in 2015. The game will be televised live locally and nationally on FOX. “It is an honor for Kansas City to represent the NFL on an international stage,” Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. "We are excited for the opportunity this creates for our fans, our city and the global growth of the Chiefs brand.” Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt has played a key role in expanding the NFL’s footprint overseas. He has served as the International Committee’s Chairman since 2011. The International Series has grown from one regular season game in 2007 to three games in 2014. In total, 17 clubs have played games in London since 2007. Six NFL franchises will play at Wembley stadium in 2015. The Chiefs will host the Detroit Lions, the Miami Dolphins will host the New York Jets in a division matchup and the Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Buffalo Bills. NFL International was formed in October of 1996. The league has held at least one regular-season game in London each year since 2007. http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article...e-1ba9510c50e6 Quote:

And that was all the motivation I needed to set up a fat Tool playlist on Youtube streamed to my Xbox. I use that ****ing thing more for youtube, than I do playing games.

Hmm. I thought I heard it was ready. I know for a fact straight from their site that legal problems are holding the whole thing up.

Just been told that this will be the same weekend as the Rugby World Cup Final... For the uninitiated that is going to be like host the final Four. Hotel and flight prices will be jacked up.
Great Job Chiefs |

As much I do not like this it could be worse. The Dolphins are giving up a home DIVISIONAL game. If we were playing one of our division foes over there I would be going ape shit.

Adam Teicher, of all people....
"Another thing: taxpayers put what, $250 million into Arrowhead renovations? So they coughed up money so the Chiefs could give up home game?" |
