NFL Expanding Its Market

The NFL has done a lot to try and expand its market, both nationally and internationally. Such as having games on Thursdays and Monday nights. Even more recently, they have started to play games in other countries like London and Mexico. With all these, the likelihood of having a team in another country has increased. London makes a great market for the NFL as it has a population of 8.5 million. the addition of 8.5 million fans would be huge for the league, as recently its viewing totals drop significantly over the course of the 2016 season. The addition of a London based team would also be huge for their local economy, as local sports bars and taverns would get increased sales on game days. Also hotels would see increased sales as fans from America and all over the UK would travel to watch the game in staduim. Overall, a London team would pay huge divedends for the National Football League.
