Pretty sure he was talking about Panthers-Bucs ... aka "The Big One."

Wembley or White Hart Lane?

Wembley or White Hart Lane?

Sir, that's  "Tottenham Hotspur Stadium."

And Amfam Fields of Milwaukee.

Tottenham Hotspur new stadium at WHL it is.

The stadium has a retractable grass pitch over the turf for NFL games.  It's pretty cool.

That is absolutely cool as hell.  I get the size differences, but its kind crazy that all the concessions are made on the primary surface to accommodate a secondary surface

I just wonder if those rails in the synthetic surface are going to cause a problem.

Let me say that I doubt they go through this much effort unless they had pretty good indication that an NFL team might be coming.  I doubt they do this for a couple games a year.

Isn't this the same/similar technology for Arizona and the new Raiders stadium?

Yes, but the surface underneath those two isn't another playing surface.

Couple games a year at a couple million each, and then also give yourself the option/ability to be the host if a team does move?  I don't think it needs to be anymore than that.  I'd imagine they'd also probably rather hosts concerts or the like on that synthetic surface rather than the pitch itself.

Those are really good points.

If my intel is right, the Bears will play an NFL high of 3 Thursday games.

I'm not sure why the bye is before London, but that's what I'm hearing.

I'm dumb, bye is after London. I'm bad at reading.

Panthers at Packers 11/10. Road trip!

Concerts will be on the turf level, not the grass.  A big rugby team in London will be playing a few games there too, cant remember the team name.

Likely MU home game too.

Right.  As expected.  The NFL is a nice upside, but this is a way to get max use out of a new shiny stadium without negatively impacting the primary owner/resident.

[MU82]

Excited that my Panthers signed the best free agent available, All-Pro Bucs DT Gerald McCoy. If everybody stays healthy, Carolina should have as talented, effective and deep a DL as there is in the NFL.

You may want to reconsider:

@PanthersBill
Unashamedly, Gerald McCoy admits he likes Nickelback.

Everybody has flaws, man!
