Confirmed - Browns playing (home game) in London - vs Vikings

It's not a bad option, Gip, and good of you to suggest it. I'd assume it's only a short train and tube ride to anywhere in London... excepting if one was half in the bag for the return leg.
If I go, I'd be +1 and likely spend the week before in Ireland then drop in for the game weekend's "activities"... AKA guided Pub crawl, lorry-gate... and the game.
Maybe tag on a week in France after... more bang for the travel buck... which a quick check showed to be considerable.

If someone goes with a spouse there are studio and 1BR options available that could be had, even in the same complex that I or others of us would stay. And yea, an add on would be nice.
I still have to tread lightly though as the spousal unit would have to work.
I see I need to make a stop at the Megaball store.

If you win, I was in for half the $2 tab... I'm good for it.

If you need advice on locales I live and work in central London. If you are just over for the weekend, your best bet is west/southwest of London - basically twickenham and Heathrow (one of the two airports you'll come into) are in that area.
If you're looking at doing tourist things in central London, Waterloo is the station that heads that way, so bear that in mind.
Anyway, yeah, I can help. Or google.

Also happy to help if anyone has any questions. Born here and still live here so should know a bit about it by now!

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.

Totally agree..Ever seen AP play in person? That alone is worth the price of admission..2 loser teams in same LA Stadium & Losers goes to London Bowl for your Home Game..Hell, maybe Roger needs a Wall too
Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -

60 miles? That's a long way to crawl...
Yea, but with just like 4 people, it would literally only cost each guy about $150- 200.00 to stay an entire week in a decent condo.
There were options in London proper for about 2K per week (that is total.) For 6 that would be about $350.00 for the week. Maybe worth the extra money.

Your job would be to chauffer us around in a Rolls.
Or a Bentley. And to lend us your Jagyouare.

I don't think we've ever lost a home game in London.....yet.

Yeah, I mean I'm acutely aware of NFL scheduling policies but I wouldn't be losing sleep over not seeing the Vikings play even if it's a long time from now. I'd personally much rather see AFC battles (assuming the Browns are ever good) that might actually matter for playoff purposes than an NFC game.
Funny thing is that in my mother's family, two of the 6 girls became War Brides. My mom came her to Northeast Ohio.. The other sister, my aunt went with her husband to St. Paul, Minnesota.
So, in my family that branch are Vikings fans, and I am a Browns fan.
And while our parents were born in Ireland, they grew up in the south of England, not far in London...in Gillingham (which, I think is where one of our British denizens on here lives). We have had family reunions in Ireland, but perhaps we could meet up in Merry Ole.

I live 30 miles from Gillingham. Canterbury is a lot nicer in my opinion!

Maybe I can finally wear my morning suit.

Browns Backers in London

I don't have a Facebook account so hadn't seen those guys before. Thing is the Browns are never on TV over here so they're missing the game if they're down the Hippo?
-
I'm pretty certain they play it through the gamepass.

Yeah, saw him back in 2009 when he ran all over us.
While I'm still pissed that it's the Vikings and not Jax or Tenn, I am interested in going to London. I was there once, in 2013 for 3 nights. I can't remember the district we stayed at, but it was a short walk to Soho.Had a blast.
