It's quite possible both SF and the Rams will play two different games Monday night week 2. Although I don't know how that would work with the start times, as they wouldn't put them on at the same time. SF plays someone at home, the Rams at Az...? They start 90-120 minutes apart on ABC and ESPN. Both get a home game the following week.

The game might be closer to us but the actual game will be further away than any fan in the rest of the world.

For some reason they decided to play the game on the biggest Cricket Ground in the world. A huge oval. The viewing experience for the people that attend will be horrible.

Freaking useless these bean counters are for fan experience.

Wow, that definitely doesn't look great viewing wise if it indeed going to be exactly like that.
 
First thing that I though about, too. The Aussie / shitters fans aren't a problem to me.
Just those pricks that try and take over our stadium, due to scalpers. I understand that LA is a big melting pot of people from other states, but still, you don't see that shit in Seattle, Pittsburg, GB, Buffalo, NO, SF, ATL and many other stadiums throughout the league.
I'd be in favor of the 75% rule on season ticket holders.
How exactly is that rule enforced?
You can't sell more than 25% of your tickets. I think Seattle has a way of determining if you sell your tickets for a game or not. I bet all teams can figure that out.

It annoys me the NFL is so hell bent on international expansion, thinking about putting teams in Europe even apparently, with all the nightmare logistics that entails, when Toronto is right next door - and is a bigger market than any American city not named NYC/LA/Chicago, and has a successful franchise in every other pro sports league with tons of fan support so you know it can work just fine. I personally don't think the NFL should expand outside of the USA. But if it does, Toronto not being the 1st destination, makes absolutely 0 sense.
It makes total sense, the NFL wont put a franchise in Canada because of the Canadian Football League
The 2 leagues over the years have had formal and informal partnerships to ensure one doesnt affect the growth of another

Wonder if Stan will let McVay do the fly in, win, fly out thing for this game. They want to be big in the Aussie market so he may want them there early to do promotion, etc.

I meant that you must attend 75% of the games to keep your season tix.
 
Yes, we bloody Yanks must be respectful of a Limey Redcoat's delicate sensibilities! And surely don't call him a mick or a sweatie or a taff! :laugh2:

(And yes, I had to google some of this shit to figure out what half of it meant.) And just kidding of course, @HX76
I don't mind being called a yankee or a mongrel :laugh2: .... which some Brits and Aussies like to call us mix breads jokingly.... lol.... But since I am a mongrel it don't bother me..... I've been to Australia 15 times and the UK countless times and those folks aren't nearly as thinned skinned as some "lazy Americans" these days (another Brit reference).

But ya I'm gonna hold a grudge against the NFL and the Aussies because my Rams have to play a home game 2300 miles from Antarctica. :angry:.... So ya that pisses me off.

And I was a bit over the line with the "toothless gesture".... most Aussies have wonderful fangs.:laugh2:
 
Hoping that Harold Bishop, Joe Mangel and the Alessi twins are in attendance on the big day.

Us Yanks are a very diverse group by design. Many different backgrounds and upbringings. It’s what makes us unique but isn’t understood by many that aren’t from the U.S.
So again…
Out of curiosity where in the U.S. are you from?

Yeah but I don't think you have to attend 75% of the games if you give them away to friends family and co-workers.

I just don't want them selling more than 25% of their tickets.

I was born in Trinidad CO, and my pops after making it back from serving in Vietnam from 65-68 he packed us all up and move us to SoCal..... Grew up in La Puente CA then when I graduated from HS spent three years in San Jose for the higher education.

Spent some of my 20's living in Studio City in the Music Business then finally settling in Walnut CA raising my daughter and married... Divorced my ex-wife and gave her the house and have been living in La Verne CA the last 8 years with my beautiful Sweeter Half.

I have spent well over two years in Australia setting up businesses in Parramatta and trained hundreds of Aussies for great paying jobs. I lived in Parramatta over six months. Also set up a specialized Diamond separating Labs at the Argyle Diamond Mine in 1994 for three months. See images of me below..... So I have a wonderful understanding of the Aussie no worries outlook on life and are probably some of the deepest loyal individuals I have encountered on planet earth.

I've probably been to more countries than most Americans have visited States in the good ol USofA

So where in the U.S. are you from?

The majority of Australians love football! Unfortunately that’s what they like every other country besides ‘Murica calls soccer.

But yes they like Griddy (Gridiron) or American Football, especially the younger generations. @CGI_Ram don’t we have a few Aussie users?
I lived there for almost a year, and in my experience most Aussies could give a brass rahzoo about American football.

Rugby, soccer and Cricket are the sport themes down under, but maybe that has changed a bit..... I think tennis is pretty popular too if my memory serves me correctly.

But the NFL is an American sport and where it should always be played.

Born in Rochester NY. Lived there and Buffalo NY until I was 8. My father moved us down to Richmond VA in 1969. Rams fan since 1972 thanks to Roman Gabriel/the Horns. Other than 4 years at JMU in beautiful Shenandoah Valley/Harrisonburg VA - I’ve lived in RBA ever since. Lots of travel (mostly work) in US. Met a lot of different people from different locations/backgrounds. Limited travel outside the US (Canada, Caribbean, Mexico, Italy).
It’s good to know background of fellow posters. Thx for replying.

It always cool when someone will take the time and ask about you, rather than assume or call you' a stupid or classless person.... I know sometimes I'm not the pillar of grace, but I'm not mean spirited. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the Land of Karens around here. lol... I think also I get mischaracterized by some around here as being a MAGA because I'm so pro-American about everything.... lol.... I just grew up in an era you were taught to work hard, have fun with people, don't let everything get under your skin, and allow yourself to identify other peoples culture and color.... I was raised not to be color blind..... I think having migrant parents helped me with tolerance, though I know I can be better.

But thanks for sharing some of your Geography. I've spent time in Virginia at the BAE and Volvo plants.... Tons of great folks in your neck of the woods. Great to read you're an old school Rams head. ...... How you managed the cold in Buffalo is mind boggling.... I think Mars has warmer days from time to time. :laugh2:

if my timeline is correct, then you were in Australia before the NFL popularity exploded over seas, which really didn't happen until 2000-2005, if not later
 
I was in Sydney on a business trip back in 98', working with a telco company called Optus. We were selling them cable set tops.

I remember getting off the plane, waiting in customs, and seeing a grandmother, who looked like Billy Idol, as did her grandkids. I knew the place was different then.

In fact, I was there when the rock group Kiss had a concert in Sydney's Darling Harbor. I was just out for a walk and the crowd waiting in line were dressed up like Kiss. I will say the girls were something to see.

My first visit you would be correct. (1994)... 5 month stay.

When I was there for 7 months that was 2010, then short visits 2011, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2023...... There was very little conversation about NFL football..... More of the conversation after 2015 with the Aussies was "you Seppo's seem to be all in a rift about ol Donno Boy" :laugh2: ..... They would mercifully bag on his "locks" the "elaborate" comb over as they would put it.... Aussies thought Americans were starting to go "out of their trees"...... And they are pretty much right :laugh2:
