Talks to play the Superbowl in London!

I don't know why they would try to bring the Super Bowl to London. I don't think the US fans would be very happy about that meaning the SB is a big thing in the US and people like to travel to the game where its all festive (football fever and the craziness that goes on). Not saying they couldn't travel to London but it just seems strange to me.

Also, I don't understand the NFL is trying to "expand" US football abroad, I don't think it will ever "catch on" as most countries love their "football" and think US football is kind of silly.

Note: I am not a US football fan so it doesn't bother me either way I just think its a strange idea. 

I think this is crazy.  For a start, how would the timings work?  The main audience is in the US, and in order to have it played at a time which is convenient for all US time zones it has to be on at about 11pm UK time.  SO how would spectators get home at that time?

It's as dumb at the Premiership talking about playing a leage game in the US.  And it will never happen.

A couple of ESPN writers discuss a London Super Bowl

One of them is for it and one against, but both agree that it's eventually going to happen.

This does seem whack. US Football can hardly be considered popular here and it is the sporting event of the year in the U.S.

I remember what a huge thing it was when the world series was played in Toronto and the city already had an MLB franchise!

Having one regular season game in London seems like a great idea. Super Bowl? Hell no.
