Roger Goodell made a big mistake with his recent comments about the Super Bowl.
With the NFL increasing its international footprint, commissioner Roger Goodell is now thinking of taking things to the next step when he did not rule out the idea of staging the Super Bowl outside of the United States.
“We’ve always traditionally tried to play a Super Bowl in an NFL city—that was always sort of a reward for the cities that have NFL franchises,” he said Saturday at a fan forum, per the Associated Press’ Ken Maguire. “But things change. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if that happens one day.”
These are not new comments from Goodell. In 2007, he stated that he could look to put the Super Bowl elsewhere in the world and that it was an idea “we’ll be looking at.”
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium might be the spot since it has hosted ten NFL regular-season games in its short history. The latest was the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
It is a 62,850-capacity arena, and the fans are always great during games.

If there was a secure spot to do it in the future, Roger Goodell and company would certainly head there should a Super Bowl be held internationally.
This season’s big game will be played in New Orleans, followed by Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, in 2026, and SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in 2027.
