    Should we have a game played at SOL? Perhaps our owner could bring his team over to player a few games?

    Then if the EPL goes abroad we could just do a swap so we don't miss out on a live game.

    Not a wind up but something I think could really work.

    Will never happen. Any NFL that is played over here will be at Wembley.

    Yep. I don't think the stadium could accomodate it tbh.

    Correct. Any NFL game played in the UK will be at Wembley. I'd love a NFL game to be played at the SoL so I could go to one without the travel to London but I doubt it could facilitate it like Wembley can.

    SOL field dimensions (from Wiki): 115 × 75 yards.

    NFL pitch size: 120 x 53 1/3 yards.

    There's your answer.

    I'm sure Wikipedia will be measuring touchline to touchline and not the extra turf behind the goals. There's definitely 5+ yards there.
