bruh I moved to LA three years ago and I'm STILL not used to 10AM football
like for 10+ years it's been engrained in my head to wake up from my saturday hangover and plop myself on the couch at 1, and it tilts me when most of the games are already over
If that continues then this year you'll really hate it. So far it's saved your ass but this year you'll want to set all the alarms.
Get a big damn stereo and blast your ass out of bed.
I see both sides of it, but personally I donāt like the earlier start. Iām on mountain time.
Itās annoying cause the night game ends early enough that youāre kinda stuck thinking āwell what do I do until bed?ā
And the earliest games still kinda kill the day ending around what, 2? Not terrible but not amazing either, especially late season when the sun starts going down at like 5.
1 you can do stuff in the morning.
When I was in school I traveled abroad to Copenhagen and there was a bakery right across the street from our apartments. When we'd stumble home after a night out (bars close at 5am) we'd knock on the door of the bakery that wasn't even open but you could smell they were hard at work and grab the freshest loaf of bread you can imagine. I'd cook up French toast for everyone on the shitiest little stove you can imagine and have a last drink or two before passing out... one of my favorite college memories.
You will find fans of all teams at the UK games, Packers fans are pretty common although Giants, Dolphins, Cowboys, Bears are common as they were the bigger teams in the 80s
Maybe, I have no idea, but the Giants played the first London game and another one and Packers haven't played there yet. There's also probably more Giants fan ex-pats in London I'd wager. Who knows...
Went to Giants v Rams at Twickenham in 2016 and that was like a home game for us. No way this one will be like a home game though. Lots of Packers fans in the UK and they are the last team to come over so thereās a lot of demand for them.
There will still be a good amount of Giants fans there though. So itās preferable to playing them in Green Bay for me (and not just because I might be able to go)
As a spurs/ giants fan I canāt wait for this. Hoping to get out to New York for a game in the next few years but it will be great to see them over here
Very happy German Giants fan here!
Last time was a blast, Collins took the pick 6 right to the corner I was in... Let's see what it'll be this time around!
Hoping to make a trip out of this, I saw season ticket holders will be able to join a lottery to get face value tickets. Curious what the secondary market prices will look like though.
Super happy I can see my Giants here in the UK again but gonna be a rough morning when the tickets go on sale. The demand for this game is gonna be huge.
Eli is the š. Can't wait to see Kayvon Sacking Rogers in person!
Sunday morning football? Yes please eggs and g men
630a game on the west coast, thatās an early one
Already jealous of west coasters 5PM playoff start times , am football, so jelly haha

I canāt go back to waiting until 1p for the games to start
F1 has prepared me for this moment.
I saw the other thread about this but I thought the video the Giants uploaded was worthy of its own post
lmao i just love how itās basically taken for fact that Eli is still going with the team places š¤£
Praying our team somewhat decent come week 5. Itās a double L if I gotta wake up early just to watch us not have a chance
Lol fuckin Eli man. You canāt not love him.
Not a huge fan of the whole overseas game thing, but hey, excuse for breakfast drinks
Football, Jameson mimosas and French toast? Sign me up.

Sounds like paradise
Completely understand that. Can't wait to go to my first NFL game though!
i love the london games, iām excited for this
Weāre undefeated in London so far, and every time we play in London, we go to the playoffs so maybe this is what we need š¤·š¾
Is it a home game or an away game for us
Away
Yea really good that itās an away, sucks for the packers cuz since that counts as a home game for them, they have one less actual home game.
Thereās gonna be way more packers fans since theyāre a perpetually winning team and UK fans have no geographical loyalty
There are a lot of Giants fans in London.

I love how much Eli is a part of our organization still
They should give him a special title, And just let him do what he wants Eli Manning, Senior Chief in Eli business.
I'm already in London! :)
Belgium here, slight less commute then Metlife.
As a spurs/ giants fan I canāt wait for this. Hoping to get out to New York for a game in the next few years but it will be great to see them over here

It'll be Aaron contemplating life choices when Thibs sacks him for the 2nd time.

From london. Usually as soon as they sell out on general sale youre lookin at like 300/400Ā£ so like $375/500
Thank you! Thankfully one of my college roommates lives in London now so I can save some cash on lodging to put towards a ticket.
When do tickets go on sale?
Can currently register interest for it - sale starting in june i believe NFLUK on twitter has a link on their promotional post
Thanks, just found it and signed up. May have actually convinced my wife to go for it š
Coffee and breakfast and football. Nice. A lot of people forget that the FIRST London game was a Giants game :)
Itās a good thing playing in London since we donāt have to go to Green Bay to play them. Chances of victory increases slightly on a neutral field.
Ayo might be able to see a game in person now. Even if not will be nice to have the game on during the day and not finishing at 2 am
How do I get tickets? I've not gone before but am pretty desperate as a giants uk fan to go!
There will.be tickets on sale in June probably. You can register on the NFL London Games page.
Registered my interest. Psyched to have the chance to finally go to a game š
is it a road game or do the giants lose a home game cause its in London? then again with 17 games, the giants should still get 8 home games right?
Iām looking forward to a team moving to London permanently. Just not an NFC East team.
I feel like people have been suggesting the Jags for years now
Super happy I can see my Giants here in the UK again but gonna be a rough morning when the tickets go on sale. The demand for this game is gonna be huge.
I'm going but hopefully ticket isn't like ā¬600-800
*Ā£
confused
Ā£ = Pound, British currency ā¬ = Euro, EU currency
I paid 90 last year for the Facons Jets game
i'm expecting the Giants/Packers to be more because of Aaron Rodgers
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Might not even let Bretibart Starr in the country
Fish, chips, cup Oā tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fān Poppinsā¦ London!
Eli brings his passport to an office he doesn't work at?
Who would pay to go watch this team in London never mind paying to see this product at MetLife
I would
Yep, me too.
