    Hopefully if it's considered a home game, that it comes late in the season. it's hard enough watching these guys in nice weather - to give up a September home game would really suck.

    Does anybody know how the season ticket holders for other teams have been compensated (our luck it will be a credit based on the cheapest dates)?

    I have one and if I was going to Great Britain I would probably order a new one while I was there in the Marshall tartan. My grandmother was a Marshall and according to the papers in Carroll County Ohio Captain John Marshall came from Ireland.

    Didn't Al Lerner have something written down that the Browns would never play in London/give up a home game?

    Either Haslam voided that, or Goodell possibly.

    As a season ticket holder,I'm not in favor of losing a home game, especially if it's vs an NFC team that we only get to see every 8 years.

    Week 7 or 8, 22nd/29th October, Browns vs Vikings

    What does this mean if I’m a season ticket member?

    – Season ticket members will not pay a higher average ticket price than they did in 2016 and the overall cost of season tickets will be reduced because the ticket package will decrease from 10 games to nine.

    – The International Series game will not directly impact per game ticket prices for Browns season ticket members and will not directly impact prices for individual game tickets for all fans throughout the season.

    I've never been to Twickenham so that's kind of good news but if it was at Wembley I had access to an executive box already sorted. Damn!

    Yeah Twickers is kinda sucky, I was at Wembley this summer (Liverpool vs Barca) and it's an amazing stadium, though somewhat ruined by shitty corporateness. Like the only food available was a terrible burger for £7 or something.

    Still, I'll be off to Twickenham. Any idea on the prices?

    Also @Mods, feel free to merge threads, just wanted to flash the headline up there rather than it getting lost.

    Stupid as hell, sorry.

    It should never, ever be an inter- conference matchup.

    Giving up a home game there means the Vikings won't visit Cleveland until 2025.

    I was there last week for Tottenham v CSKA and yeah food/drink prices are extortionate but no different to Browns stadium where a can of beer is $9 !

    Twickenham is much better for those that would like to visit a pub pre match as Wembley pubs are terrible, Twickenham has lots around the station/stadium

    I'll be honest, I'm excited to see the Browns (you'd better believe I'll be there) but I agree it's not something that should happen. Preseason game, maybe, but they're clearly looking to build a fanbase for a London franchise which would be stupid.

    I do just hope it's a meaningful game, and that in week 7 or 8 we're not already like 1-6.

    1-6 would be a huge improvement

    They should just flex us out of london if we're 1-6 tbh

    We play the vikings - what will they be like next year? No first round pick thanks to the Bradford trade.

    A bunch of pending, relatively high priced free agents including both tackles (who have been injured this year, and their line has been horrible as a result).

    http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/minnesota-vikings/

    Then the annual AP question - his cap hit next year is $18m. Bradford's is $17m, btw. Then the Bradford/Bridgewater question.

    Do you really care that much about seeing the Vikings? I don't see that being a big deal at all.

    Well, this will formally give us all an excuse to be drinking by 9:00 a.m. for once!

    I heard on the radio this morning that it is confirmed that the Browns will be playing in London next year, in either week 7 or week 8 vs. the Vikings. It will be considered a home game for the Browns, thus they will lose one game in Cleveland. I will try to check on line to confirm with more details.

    So we get the "B" facility?

    Early date looks promising for a Wedding anniversary in the Isles, but either will work.

    Please look into block pricing as well. That was the one serious part of my "your duties" post.

    Should be discounted and those of us who commit to the trip can PayPal in advance so you don't get stuck. Then if we no show, and you can't resell for face value, the no show is on the hook.

    I'm inclined to let one of the retired guys handle that particular duty 😉 plus, mrs gft has said she's getting me tickets as a gift of some kind, so I'd be away from the block anyway.
