49ers and Jags to play in London in 2k13

[PortCityProphet]

The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the San Francisco 49ers at London's historic Wembley Stadium on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013, the NFL announced Thursday.

The game, which will kick off at 5:00 p.m. UK time (1:00 p.m. ET), will mark the first in London for the Jaguars, who earlier this year committed to play one regular-season home game in the United Kingdom in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, all at Wembley.

"By committing to play a regular-season home game in London in each of the next four years, the Jaguars will play a major role in helping grow our sport in the UK and beyond," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "We think Jaguars-49ers is a matchup our fans will really enjoy and a great way to start a new era in the international development of our game."

Jaguars Owner Shad Khan confirmed the Jaguars' 2013 International Series opponent while speaking at the Leaders in Sport conference at Chelsea FC.

"Everyone associated with the Jacksonville Jaguars is very much looking forward to our four home games in London through 2016, and we're particularly thrilled and honored that our first opponent will be the San Francisco 49ers," Khan said. "This is a unique and important opportunity for the Jaguars franchise, as well as for our fans and community. To share this stage in our first year at Wembley with a rising power like the 49ers will bring additional attention and respect to what we're trying to achieve as a franchise. We can't wait to see our global vision for the Jaguars become reality next season."

San Francisco will make its second appearance in the International Series. The 49ers hosted the Denver Broncos at Wembley Stadium in 2010, earning a 24-16 victory before a crowd of 83,941.

A Sport thats been on UK TV for 25+ years Thats had 2 booms in the UK market once in the 80's, (90's it fell off, but then their was NFL Europe in that time frame) ever since the early part of the 00's its been on the rise and rise for the past 10 years and still growing.

But hey you wouldnt know any of this, the most you know is oh they had a NFL Europe Team once or that they were apart of the World League all those years ago.

Jags owners doesn't give one fukk about their own fans, he probably making 3-4x more money playing in those London games

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Ahh whatever, i`m just glad it's a Jags home game.

I remember a few years ago we played Denver and it used one of our home games I recall, so dumb

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

I'm just glad it's not Tampa anymore. I don't know if it was because the Glazers own ManU & the Bucs or what.

Most people who will be there will be 49er fans or fans of the sport period. They aint really gunna give a fukk tbh.

Now I know alot of you think the international series dont make much sense, but barrin when the Chargers & Saints played, atleast one of the teams has had a huge following over here

49ers
Bears
Dolphins
Pats

all have strong fan bases in the UK. The 1st 3 datin back to the 80's and the Pats since 00's, it may go back when Parcells was coachin, when they lost to in the SB.

If they are trying to create more fans they should just set up a huge screen in london and show hardknocks......that joint makes even the wackest team look fascinating
