Glad they stopped punishing only the crappy teams. Spread the wealth.

How much money do they really make from these games? You have to consider what is lost for the teams and American cities that lose these games.

Greedy bastards can’t even put enough quality players on all the teams here. How are they ever going to expand to different countries?

Think it's the Jags? Kahn seems to like those overseas games.
Yeah it seems like from the second tweet one of those is just a Jags home game over in London

Cheshire Cat Mustache signed up for 2 games some time back when his franchise was shit... the money was so much better for him then than his home games.

If Trevor can ever get his head screwed on straight... Kahn is probably gonna regret signing up for 2 games. The tiny Jax fan base hates it obviously. It wouldn't surprise me if that team is the next to relocate. It was a stupid choice putting a team there.

Seemed like they had a bigger home field advantage than the Rams in the playoff game last weekend 70k+ and mostly Jags fans.

That's partly due to the San Diego Renters having an even worse fan base.... and the few they have damn sure ain't the traveling kind.

It's never a problem getting excellent seats in that stadium for regular season games. Even when that team has been good... finding seats is almost a pleasure.

With the product they have had that seems justified. I wouldn’t doubt that will be changing next season.

I can't remember how many years Kahn agreed to but I seem to recall it was for a certain # of seasons. So he'll have to fulfill his agreement.

Also the first time hosting a playoff game in a long time and a team that’s only been in one city to try and develop a fan base.

I think they had a good base when Brunell was there and they were winning.

They did and with Taylor and MJD and Boselli. I’m not saying they didn’t, I’m implying comparing them to the Rams fanbase is apples to oranges.

Right the team that hadn’t been to the play for years packed the stadium but the Rams making a playoff run for the 2nd or 3rd year in a row had to have help getting fans to the game.

Is that the apples and oranges comparison?

I get it, “LA is a melting pot”, yadda yadda yadda.

I don’t see any reason for the Jags to move based on their fan base. They haven’t been a very good team.

On the other hand after a SB win the Rams still can’t pack their home stadium. It’s lame.

All true. Been a Rams fan for almost my entire life, but I would have to say that the Rams fan base is a small as any team in the league, and definitely has a weak base in LA...... still. I have never lived in LA, but I always hear there are "better things to do" there, haha. I live on the east coast. Football fans are different here.
