It appears that once and for all, the Green Bay Packers, will play a foreign football game. Many people have spoken out about the Packers not playing overseas. Green Bay would not give up a home game to do it. And the opposing teams were not likely either because the Packers’ gate is so strong. It is a sell out every time the Packers come to town, and Packers fans give a boost to the local economy if they’re visiting. Well, NBC Sports’ Peter King said today that the NFL is aware Green Bay has not made a trip, and they want to make it happen as soon as possible to avoid anyone thinking they’re getting preferential treatment. I’m excited for Packers fans in other places of thew world.

The question is will they put Green Bay in Mexico or England? And the other question is will the NFL help support the home team in some other way. If they’re losing the Packers gate, what can they do to solve that problem? That’s one for the NFL. That said, the Packers playing overseas or in Mexico will draw a great deal of hype with many Packers fans wanting to go meaning this will be a very profitable game. In 2020, there are not only candidates for the Packers to head overseas, but there is also a timing thing that would work out perfectly for Green Bay to take a London trip.

In Fall 2020, northeast Wisconsin will be the epicenter of sports for two weeks. Late September features the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, which is 40 minutes of so, south of Green Bay. It will bring people from all over the world to watch that event. The following week, you have the Wisconsin Badgers playing the Notre Dame Fightin’ Irish at Lambeau Field. This makes perfect sense for a time to send the Packers on a trip. With road games against Tampa next year, that feels like the opponent for trip across the pond.
