No I haven't posted this on the wrong board, Spurs have announced that the first NFL game to be played at (New) White Hart Lane will be the Oakland Raiders vs Seattle Seahawks on the 14th of October.

I always said to friends and family that having never really watched NFL before, whichever teams play first at the stadium, I'll choose one of those to officially support. I'll also hopefully go to the game and experience the NFL matchday.

Any NFL fans here? Is it great for you that one of these sides will be playing here or are they a rival? Anyone like me going to begin supporting one of them (or another side) now that we'll be having some form of affiliation with the NFL?

I don't know enough to make a substantial comment, but the Raiders have moved in the past and plan to do so again soon.
The Seahawks appear to have been based in Seattle for their entire history.

Given the rumours about a London franchise being based at our ground, you might want to wait and see if we have a team created here first.

Hadn't heard about that. Interesting.

The London Hotspurs.

The Tottenham Cockerels.

The London Lilywhites.
 
I think we've made a mistake here....NFL games are usually given with the away team first so it should be Seahawks v Raiders
 
Someone explain the rules and I might just watch the odd game so I can admire our brand spanking new stadium

Oakland have a reputation for being the Stoke of the NFL, and if that wasn't bad enough their mascot is pure nightmare fuel

The London Fighting Cocks - or London Gamecocks are probably out .....could we just be The London Spurs? There's a Panthers in both Ice Hockey and NFL in the states, so the existence of the San Antonio Spurs in Basketball shouldn't stop anyone else from using that name.

The Americans will probably want something they see as identifiably English. We've had the monarchs, so.......'The London Harry Potters', The London Warm Beer'ers' or 'The London Can't Win a War Without Us'ers'?
