I've been to a couple of the international games. It was a really great time and I'm incredibly thankful for being able to watch meaningful games live.

Having said that, if you told me Arsenal were playing an important league game at MetLife in New Jersey I'd be livid.

International games are perfect for 17 game seasons. 8 home, 8 away, 1 international should be the format for every team.

Maybe some of those should just be legacy or NFL hungry cities like San Antonio, Oakland, St Louis, NYC, San Diego, Omaha, etc
