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.''

Further, I'd guess Canadians have just enough pride that they wouldn't like seeing their second most popular pastime get folded into a huge American amalgam.
Their favorite pastimes premier league started with more American teams then Canadian and the first Canadian expansion team wasn't till 1970.

Via a Reddit STH:


Quote:
Just emailed the Chiefs Customer Service, inquiring what their plan is regarding 2015 Season Ticket Holders. If they expect us to still pay full price while losing a homegame, I'm going to be extremely disappointed.
EDIT: Ok, Customer Service just called me. They don't have any exact numbers yet (duh), but the rep confirmed to me that the London game WILL be taken into consideration when they do start figuring out prices and whatnot. Also, I asked if a STH's ticket would be valid in London, or if you would need to purchase a separate ticket for that, and she said they had not nailed that down yet. She said ideally it WOULD be valid, but there's still negotiating going on between the team, the NFL, Wembley reps, etc, and there wasn't any more information on that at this time.

Also, there's no way the Shield or the Union wants to deal with cold weather games in Canada.

I knew this would happen eventually. Don't like giving away a home game. Hopefully we get it back as the visiting team a year or 2 after.

You, me and everyone else knows damn well what they're going to do. Instead of charging for 10 games, they'll charge you for 9. You get the privilege of paying full price for two meaningless preseason games and seven real ones instead of the normal 8.

**** 'em. I was on the fence for next year anyway. I'm almost certainly out now.

Color me skeptical

That ship sailed when the voters shot down the rolling roof.

Further, hosting a super bowl is extremely costly to a city.

Eh, I remember looking at the number for that. Brings in alot of revenue as well. After the sports world seeing how KC reacts to their sports this fall, I'd imagine they wouldn't mind having a DB here.

If they can have one in NY with no dome, they can in KC

The only thing this is doing is continuing to build the base in London so eventually they can hold 8 games a year, then put a team there. Then the owners profit from a larger fan base, maybe even European TV contracts. I'm guessing they'll work something out so season ticket holders don't get stuck with the bill, but this is about the long term goals of the NFL.

On the topic of the Super Bowl, this was suppose to be the year Kansas City hosted the Super Bowl. How ****ing cool would have been to have the World Series and the Super Bowl in the same year.
