October 25th Steelers will be in Paris

Product wouldn’t be very good or intriguing. It’s like sending over Chelsea and Man U for an inter-squad. It wouldn’t sell super well.

I guess what I was trying to convey was it just needs to be played in America in American stadiums paid for by American taxes so these precious millionaires don’t have to lose any of their coin. International games were originally preseason and I’m sure it was a trial run for how to do it and what kind of support it got. But I don’t think teams in such a tight race of dodging injury and other attrition should have to add that kind of jet lag to the equation. On top of season ticket prices people often have to pay PSL fees too so don’t rob a teams home fans of that game. Just my .02

Worst move Germany made was bombing Pearl Harbor, otherwise we may not even have entered the war saving France’s a s s.

Are you Bluto from Animal House

Roger Goodell gets boo'd with good cause. All about the money and F*ck us fans.

 

[Aussie_Steeler]

No,but if they had the game in Normandy,France,they'd be most welcome.


I think it's ridiculous and stupid to have a game in Paris.

Going back to Ireland would have been a far better choice.

New Orleans home game is the reason it's in France. Just as Pittsburgh have Ireland as a "home" territory due to the Rooney and city's Irish historical connections, New Orleans has France as a "home" territory due to the city's French history.

they need to just stop the stupid bullshit

Oh, I agree games should be paid in the actual home cities, that's just not realistic at this point. Wait until the NFL does like the WWE is doing with Wrestlemania and hosting it overseas. Could you imagine the Super Bowl in London?

There will still be more Steelers fans than Saints.

We will probably get our Bye-Week the game before………………..or game after………….

I didn’t realize it, but it’s normal for the bye week to follow a foreign game.

Also: Leaked that we have a “Black Friday” game at 3pm ET.
