That would be nice for the youngsters, somehow I doubt they’ll be away tickets for it, but would be a good game to check out and have a sneak peek.

I remember reading that a Saints vs Spurs reserve game was the first played under floodlights in this country.

You have brilliant timing - officially confirmed just as you posted! Does sound like zero away tickets though - it's going to be 30k of our premium and ST holders.

Spurs fan here who watches the youth teams quite often and always been impressed by the Saints set-up. Quite a bit of talk on our end that it's being moved back to the 24th to be the first test game in our new ground with a 20k capacity.

Gotta get it ready for when a REAL SPORT comes in the Autumn when the NFL return to London and make their Tottenham debut (a year late)

Most games are around 3 hours, some less, some more depending on injuries and such.

Also, as a spectacle is one thing you definitely can't criticise the NFL for. Check out one of the games at Wembley and you'll see what I mean

Got talked into watching the super bowl once (7 non fans there were) ...all fell asleep never watched such a poor spectacle.....never again will I waste a minute watching that again.

Tbf, it's much better if: 1) you understand the rules (and I'm going to assume you didn't) 2) when you're actually there at the game. Wembley for example is pretty much a three hour party with a carnival atmosphere, it's amazing. Though sometimes you get less exciting games, this year's super bowl wasn't exciting but it was interesting (though if you didn't understand the rules or appreciate defensive battles I can see how you might not be totally enamered by it). The does affect the atmosphere at games of course, but when you have thrilling games like last season's chargers game, the lions-falcons game a few years ago, the jags-bills game, etc... It's spectacular

Not sure what this has to do with the thread, but my thoughts on the Superbowl is that this years event was the worst on record. Mind you being a Miami Dolphins fan I am biased, but following them at the moment is not unlike following the Saints!
 
Should have watched today's match if you don't think football's a real sport. Great effort all round and another great showing by the academy lads. (and now its on topic ;))
