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.

Clark Hunt in 2011 on a London game

''It's something we may be interested in. It's something we would be open to. I definitely can't sit here and say that we've made the decision that it would be good for us. There are a lot of things that go into that decision. It's something we would want to discuss with the community. We understand that taking a home game away from the market affects people. We would want to make sure there would be support for it.''

Clark Hunt in 2011 on losing a home game

''That's something that weighs very much in my mind. 'We have a tremendous home-field advantage at Arrowhead. That would be one of the main considerations.''

This does nothing but completely throw off competitive balance. Losing one home game is a huge deal. It's not like the mlb where you have 162 games to spread around.

It's strictly business.

It's not going to stop unless it somehow stops being a cashcow.

Stop blaming Goodell. You look dumb.

Blame the owners.

Well, I am certainly happy for you, but I sure hope that loss of a home game doesn't bite us in the ass next year when I expect us to be contending for a deep playoff run.

It's weird that it's the Lions since they played there this year. I would have thought they would rotate a different team through.

If its one thing the Hunts don't do, its lose money.

No doubt. Either ticket sales from the London game, or the NFL itself, will redistribute or whatever to cover it. I'm sure they don't just spread the normal 8 game cost across 7 games. But I'm also sure they don't economically penalize the team that is giving up a home game.

Because many of the people here are going to lose attending a home game and we're all going to miss a game at Arrowhead. The reaction could be rather visceral.
