Game day forecast:

Also the 49ers will blow them out.

hahahahaha two excellent reasons

Tbh I wouldn't mind something like this for the PL, if you live within a certain area and it's sold out you can watch it (even a 3pm ko), if it isn't you cant

How much money through TV rights do they get ?

 

[rascal]

does it really make that much difference though? easy to get it online aint it?

I've followed the Packers since American Football began screening in the UK in the mid-80s. No reason other than I liked their history and small town status. Despite the weather I'm surprised this isn't a sell out though. It goes without saying I'm far from an expert but I would give the Packers half a chance in those conditions

that's not the reason they do it in this country. It's so it doesn't take away from attendances at lower league grounds. All your games are on BT Sports anyway aren't they?

You're missing the fact that the moon is in waxing crescent to be fair.

Tv footy in the league at 3pm Saturday is banned in the UK to protect attendences.

That's been the case (a blackout) for 25 years plus.

The cheapest ticket for this game is $102 USD mate. NFL tickets are VERY expensive.

MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS are all pretty reasonably priced though.

Really? I had no idea.

My sister lives in the US and she seems to go to quite a lot of sports events, so I assumed it wasn't too bad.

Love Wildcard weekend. Not as good now there'll be no more Redzone but still the play offs are great.

There's no evidence that is the case - some European countries they don't have such restrictions and there is no significant difference

Then again I'd argue that law is obsolete now with all the top teams in England/Spain/Germany/Italy/France live on sky and bt

not many countries have so many clubs mate. In fact I don't know of any other country where the majority of the top leagues games kick off the same time as the lower leagues games. England is unique for that.

It's annoying that Sky (and those that followed) managed to get round that twice in a day.

Surely the reason for not selling out is the moon phase (see weather image above)
