PHOENIX : The National Football League is well on its way to becoming a global sport, said commissioner Roger Goodell on Wednesday, and will look to expand its European footprint with more games in Germany.
Such was the interest that the NFL said there was an online queue of more than 800,000 when tickets went on sale and could have sold over 3 million. "When we went to Germany I don't think any of us would have anticipated the reaction we got there for our first game," said Goodell."We're confident that we are going to continue to be there well beyond the agreement we had a year ago."Our teams loved it, our league loved it and the fans loved it, so you're going to see more games in Germany.
The league has already announced an international series for next season with three games in London and two in Germany with the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots among the teams making trips overseas.
