No one cares about the London games. Never did. Only Stan k. Likes London Cuz it's a home game for rams and he gets the money. Our team just loses a home game as a result of this.

I'm glad our across the pond guys get to see the Rams play in person, but it's BS that the Rams are the ones losing the home game again.

"No one cares about the London games"

I do.......but I feel sorry for season ticket holders who miss out on a home game (especially a divisional one).

I think this was part of the deal with the Rams playing in the Coliseum. With USC and the Rams playing there, scheduling and maintenance must be a nightmare. I agree it sux though....

Well I guess I'll have to continue my streak of seeing at least one rams game in person per season. And actually see the future of the NFL starting at QB and not just warming up.

Sorry for the season ticket holders but as the post above me explains the colliseum can probably only manage so many regular season games, so I'm already keeping a week aside in 2018

They going to loose a home game every year until stadium built

Speak for yourself, dude -- I made the trip to this year's game and had a blast (even though I failed to connect up with the UK ROD faithful).

Would I be wrong thinking this is part of the deal Stan made to get back to LA? I also thought there was discussion about a game in China. I'm willing to bet we have to play in London until the new stadium opens in 2019.

Well that frikken sucks balls. Take away one of our home divisional games?? Idiotic, it should be one of the games against the AFC.

Yep the price for relocating a franchise is that you must make yourself available for the International Series home game every year you play in a temporary stadium. Plus if you host a Super Bowl then you have to give up a home game within five years of being chosen.

Rams are on the hook for three International Series games, this will be number 2.

I enjoy all the London games even the ones the Rams aren't a part of. It's an extra football game to watch on those Sundays.

Oustanding news. Hopefully we can actually meet up this year!

The only problem I have is this...

Divisional games seem to crucial to be played in London....rather, why our home divisional game?

At least both teams will travel similar distance and cross the same time zones.

Maybe see what we can do about a group booking I don't want to be surrounded by cards fan like I was giant fans

 

[HX76]

I'd rather be surrounded by Cards fans than a M*llwall fan!

 

[HX76]

To be fair though, and I might be wrong here, I don't get the impression the Cards are that well supported over here unlike NE and the Giants who were everywhere when we've played in London before. This one might actually feel a bit more like a home game than the others.

The EPL ought to have a regular season game played in the US.
