Can't go wrong with New York if your using public transport to get around. Simple and easy to use. Plenty sporting options too.

No football teams in NYC though...

Very good.
MetLife easily accessible on game days by either bus or train from Manhattan. Shuttle buses from Port authority to the stadium and back.
Same for college ball. Train to New Brunswick and shuttle from train station to Rutgers stadium on game days. Army (West point) supposedly easy enough to get to as well on game day from the city.
Always got the option of Columbia as well if all else fails.

I wouldn't call it "easily accessible" getting to that dump in a swamp! plus they stop serving beer after half time (booooooooo!)

Getting in and out of Rutgers is a nightmare but they do play some good teams.

It's 30 minutes on the shuttle from Port Authority the Stadium. Constant stream of them running 3 hours before kick off and I think an hour after the game.
Can get the train but you need to change trains once your over the river. Supposedly straight forward enough.

Train to New Brunswick is what, an hour? Hour and a half? Never been but know they do shuttles to/from the stadium and train station. Might be a nightmare getting out but what stadium isn't. Being on a bus to the station might help.

You still in Jersey? Another little bonus if you are as sure you would help him out and maybe grab a beer.

Yeah you can take the train to Metlife but that does mean changing at Secaucus and that place is pure evil.

NB is about an hour, depends if you get the local or express train however also means getting on NJ Transit! Awful service but actually quite cheap.

Yeah driving in and out of Rutgers is pure pain, the parkway is bad enough without a game and I always get caught in it coming home from games.

International series is only going to get more widespread. 2025 has London x 3 (Jags, Jets and Browns), Madrid (Dolphins), Berlin (Colts) and Dublin (Steelers). Then you have Melbourne confirmed for 2026 and I'd be surprised if they don't revisit Brazil (Dolphins have marketing rights there) again and I'd suspect Madrid will be as much of a fixture as London and Germany are in the years to come. The Bears and Dolphins both have marketing rights in Spain so I'd expect the former to get their turn in 2026.

The Rams have marketing rights in Australia and China so watch this space on the latter in 2027.. A load of teams have rights in Mexico so I'd expect that to be revisited as well.

[DaveF]

It's interesting to see this go to Australia.

The NRL were in Vegas last year and are back again in March with both Aussie and English teams taking part this time.

Football really can't be too far behind in taking the game beyond its own borders.

Barcelona and Real Madrid played a cup final in Saudi (I think) a month or so ago


There was also a stooshy a while back when the chairman of the EPL suggested a 39th league match be played abroad

it's quite astonishing the money involved in the NFL nowayears

$7,000,000 for a 30-second advert tonight with some advertisers paying over $8,000,000

Aaron Rodgers not expected to return to Jets for the season coming :( ESPN: "Breaking: Aaron Rodgers is unlikely to return to the Jets in 2025, sources told @adamschefter-mirror.bluesky.bot." — Bluesky

i noticed quite a few times he looked really hacked off with some of his teammates at times, which in turn drew a lot of criticism of HIM

[BroxburnHibee]

Can't see anything other than an Eagles win tonight. Chiefs have been lucky all season.

If its anywhere near as good as 2 years ago I'll be pleasantly surprised

[hibsbollah]

First time in years I wont be staying up for the big one tonight. Working tomorrow and don’t really care enough about the outcome. I narrowly prefer the Eagles but there is something about the historic threepeat i kind of want Mahomes to pull it off.

[cabbageandribs1875]

mon my 3rd favourite NFL side

[cabbageandribs1875]

absolutely pathetic that penalty against the philly player

and some accuse the officials favouring the chiefs, no bloody wonder

even the commentators calling it a ridiculous call


TD Philly...MMmmm think they will replay that one though just short

1st & Goal

Both at it yet goes in favour of Chiefs (again)

Think this TD will be overturned as Dotson had his knee down before he crossed the whitewash.

anyway 10-0 Philly

Couple of big plays from the Eagles but haven’t capitalised. FG takes it to 0-10.

Still think the Chiefs have more to give and the Eagles will be hoping their dominance in attack do far isn’t in vain.

As I replied PM sacked twice in two plays.

[Aldo]

What a passage of play . Sacked twice then throws an interception that’s returned for a TD.

[cabbageandribs1875]

back to back sacks on Mahomes

then an interception

woohoooooooooo Philly TD

17-0 midway 2nd Q

[cabbageandribs1875]

another sack for Mahomes


20 yards v 151


and yet another sack

[Smartie]

Chiefs have been absolutely honking so far.

They’ve got that knack of digging their way out of difficult situations but they look dead and buried here.

[BroxburnHibee]

Mahomes getting no protection at all.

[cabbageandribs1875]

daft flag received philly 1 & 20
2nd & 26

ooft 15 yard penalty on chiefs

Philly have it 3rd & 3 on two minute warning


poor throw hurts

another flag on Philly, hope they're not losing concentration here

Chiefs have it 1:49.... first sighting of Taylor

ooohh intercepted again

TD Eagles :) 24-0 1:35 remaining

[Aldo]

Another interception resulting in an Eagles TD.,

0-24

PM and the Chiefs offence are having a mare!

[cabbageandribs1875]

Taylor could write a song about this

Annihilation at the Superbowl


25 points the largest ever Superbowl HT lead

HT 24-0

27-0 5:18 remain in the 3rdQ

TD Philly 34-0 what a throw, what a catch

[Aldo]

WOW just WOW.

What a throw. TD EAGLES

0-34

[BroxburnHibee]

Utter doing!!!
