Oh Canada! Packers Talk Canadian Game with Raiders
Milwaukee Brewers are coming home after two exhibition games in Montreal this week. It appears that they might not be the only professional Wisconsin sports team to play in Canada this year. There are talks of the Green Bay Packers playing the Oakland Raiders in Canada. The location is an interesting one to say least with Regina,Saskatchewan being the destination at the Mosaic Stadium. Apparently, it is the premier location currently for CFL football which is interesting as the BC Place just hosted the Women’s World Cup four years ago. Still, it is pretty awesome that the NFL is expanding their brand and moving around North America to have exhibition games.

NFL is getting smarter with their preseason. They realize the games are not selling out at these stadiums. What do they do? Bring the teams to different places all over the world. Canada, Mexico and Hawaii all have preseason games. My guess is you’re going to see an NFL preseason game out in a place like Germany or Spain. Additionally, it would not surprise me to see them in Tokyo either. Packers-Chiefs played there a long time ago, which I have a faint remembering of trying to convince my mom to wake up very early to watch. She did not agree to it. Another thing you could see the NFL doing is playing preseason football in other domestic locations that are close to NFL teams. This is the move the NBA has done for years.
Rodgers in Canada would make for some great content and hopefully, Pardon My Take can send up Todd and Gordo.
