Who's up for a European roadie? The NFL has announced that the Bills are one of six finalists to host a regular season game in Europe next season. The game will be played in either Germany or England, with the announcement of the location coming next week. The other teams being considered to go overseas are the Dolphins, Chiefs, Saints, 49ers, and Seahawks.
The way I see it, there's more drawbacks than pluses to the Bills hosting a regular season game for the obvious reason: You will lose the home-field advantage at Ralph Wilson Stadium. From a competitive standpoint, that's not good. On the other hand, season ticket prices will have to down if there are only seven home games next season (they would have to, wouldn't they?)
Remember, the Bills had their last four home games as non-sellouts. So it's no wonder the Bills are on the list of six teams that may need passports next season.
The complete 2007 NFL schedule will be announced later in the spring.
