Quote: Bal "Sad thing. The American football league game in Spurs ground tomorrow will almost certainly have a bigger crowd.
I actually like NFL. But we have the better product in my opinion. Shows the scale of the failure insular, 'keep it the M62 corridor mentality has caused us. Those who love our game the most are also its biggest enemy.'"
The difference is the nfl's marketing budget just in London is probably ten fold of every SL club combined marketing budget.
I don't even watch nfl but have noticed just how much content sky show and it clearly is very popular here. Outside the games sky show all kinds of shoulder programming and when you look at the production values NFL content it just looks all high end.
It looks like a premium product and the ticket prices for these UK games are premium prices but they have clearly tapped into a fanbase who have disposable income to not only buy tickets but the nfl make a killing on merchandise sales at these games.
I've seen the fans after games on tubes and trains and you see people with bags of merchandise and that stuff isn't cheap at all.
