As was mentioned GB can go to London as the visiting team. What does NFL Inc really care as long as all the teams eventually make a cameo appearance?

Something I know nothing about is how much the Packers make off home games and if the NFL compensates home teams for what you'd assume would be lost revenue from a home game...this is why I find it hard to believe a team would want to give them up.

Of course I don't know how much the tickets sell for over there as opposed to stadiums over here so maybe a smaller slice of a bigger pie really does net you more pie and we all know that's what it is all about...more pie. It does seem odd that a team like Jacksonville would be so willing to give up a home game if they were losing that much money on the venture.

The Packers should give up a game at Lambeau field for one at Wembley when England agrees to hold the next coronation at the Hutson center instead of Westminster Abbey.
